The Workbench of Your Dreams More than 35 minutes of step-by-step instruction Complete & detailed plans Tips on cutting the joints by hand How to build a bench if you don't have a bench Flatten the workbench's top Tons of digital extras One of the most important workbench plans ever published appeared in A.J.

Roubo's bench is simpler than almost every other design out there — so it's easy to build – yet it excels at all of the workholding tasks in a woodshop. In this DVD, Christopher Schwarz shows you how to build the Roubo workbench using only hand tools (though you can use power tools if you wish). Schwarz, the author of Workbenches: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use (Popular Woodworking Books) also shares his insights into this influentia

While bench planes are the most fundamental handplanes in your shop, they also are the most vexing. Ask two woodworkers how to choose, set up and use your bench planes and you'll get three answers. After years of historical research and practical bench experience, Editor Christopher Schwarz has found a way to simplify the convoluted bench plane system so you can think for yourself when it comes to these tools. After viewing this DVD you'll know how to select the right size plane for your work. You'll know how to sharpen and set it up so it does the job at hand. And you'll learn how to use the plane so you make perfectly flat and gleaming panels (with the minimum amount of effort). This DVD doesn't simply spout off a new idiosyncratic way to work with bench planes. Instead Schwarz explains how all the systems work so you can immediately see their strengths and weaknesses and exploit them so you'll do better work. Handplane Basics puts into practice all of the principles explained in the

Though woodworkers seem to have 100 different ways of performing a single operation, there are a few things we all agree on. And one of them is that we really like our shops and our workbenches.

In 1889, Ivin Sickels wrote Exercises in Wood-Working. Designed to educate college students in the craft and business of woodworking. Now, more than a century later, it will help you make the most of traditional hand tools in the modern shop. But crucial to learning the proper use of any tool is to actually see it in motion. Christopher Schwarz, editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine, has recorded this series of short videos, paired with the related exercises from the book, to help you make the most of hand tools you'll often use. Use of the Chisel - Part 1: Learn how wood and steel interact and how to properly wield a wide chisel as you flatten two adjacent faces of a block of wood to form a perfect 90? angle. Exercise 2 – Use of the Chisel, Part 2: Learn to effectively and efficiently use a chisel on end grain as you square a block of wood so four faces are 90? to one another.
