For GUYS Eyes Only

Most men I know dream of their own workshops, and some of you lucky lads even have one! As a matter of fact, one of my friends has a woodworking shop “to die for” (see, I didn’t forget you gals). He has every hand tool you could imagine, a huge table saw, a custom work bench, sanders, and routers, and shapers. Dang… and envy!

He started out with a workbench pretty much like the photo on the right, but it didn’t last long. He’s one of these guys with so many tools that if they didn’t have a specific spot, he’d never find ‘em.

So, he did what every dyed-in-the-wool woodworker does. He designed and built his own workbench… and hand tool drawers, and small tool cabinet, and shaper tables. You get the idea. He got himself completely organized, and is mighty proud of it. So proud, in fact, that he wouldn’t let me take pictures… yet. He might put together a DIY woodworker’s dream shop.

Good news, though, I made him promise to let me market it if he ever did.
