Workbenches are expensive and you have to live with them a long time
afterwards. Read both books. Tell us what you think of the second one!

"Workbenches" is too broad a subject to really give a single answer.
How much space have you got ? What will you do with it ? How much
money or time can you spend on making it ?


My own most recent workbench is a stretched Tage Frid design, from his
3rd book. I'm not sure I'd do it again - nice top, love the moving
dogs, but I wouldn't do another shoulder vice on my "main" workbench.
