Why this project belongs in your shop

You can put it together in a weekend for less than $100 plus the cost of your own wood.

Its fence adjusts in a flash and locks into T-slotted mini-tracks with the quick twist of two knobs.

A mini-track built into the fence makes for lightening-fast and solid positioning of homemade feather boards and a bit guard. Insert-plate levelers ensure a perfectly aligned tabletop.

It's easily portable, weighing only 36 pounds (without router), and you can grip the the tabletop edges for comfortable carrying. To provide you with a clear picture of what you'll receive when you purchase one of our shop-built downloadable plans, we've provided a brief summary of all the elements that this electronic plan includes:
1. Professional color photography of the finished product taken after we've finished building the project ourselves in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. You can even zoom in on the screen to see those little details.
2. For a clear idea of how our projects go together, we provide an exploded-view drawing with helpful details. All drawings are done professionally by our own staff off woodworkers/illustrators.
3. Large color photos and step-by-step instructions show exactly how we built the project in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. We build each project ourselves to work out any bugs before you ever get the plan.
4. Detail drawings and step-by-step illustrations provide necessary dimensions and machining processes you'll need to make the building process as straightforward as possible.
5. For error free construction, each plan includes a bill of materials; a cutting diagram; a detailed supplies listing; and, when necessary, a mail-order buying guide for hard-to-find hardware.
6. Parts-view drawings are used to dimension individual pieces to guarantee your building success.

Book description
The router table opens up a whole new world of using the router that simply can't be done using it freehand. Ultimate Guide to the Router Table starts by giving the reader the option of building their own router table (with plans) or buying a manufactured table (with suggestions on what to look for when buying). In either case, this book gives the woodworker all the information they need to use their router table. Basic router-table knowledge is covered in the first chapter: safety issues, setup fundamentals, feed direction and workpiece control. The next chapters cover specific operations unique to the router table. The woodworker is not only how to do an operation, but why to do it in the way explained (and the pitfalls of trying to do it another way). Sidebars and tip boxes will highlight appropriate router bit choices, details on how to construct jigs that can be used in conjunction with the router table and other essential information. Illustrations and close-up photos show procedures clearly. *A router is mounted under a table with the business end of the router protruding up through a hole in the table. This enables the user to perform tasks that can't be done with the router hand held. Operations such as edge profiling, making mouldings, cutting lock-miter joints, box joints, rabbets, grooves, splined miters, using templates, pin routing and more can be done using a router table

Book description
Bending a piece of pipe is often easy enough, but the real challenge is in bending it to a nice even radius without kinking or flattening it at the bend. To achieve consistent and professional results you need a pipe bending machine and that is what this book is about. Here you will get step-by-step instruction showing how to construct a very simple machine capable of bending a radius in pipe to any desired angle of from 0 to 180 degrees. And with the proper dies, solid round rod, flat bar, and square tubing can be formed as well. The frame of the machine is build entirely from easy to find, 1/4” x 2” h.r.s. flat bar. Other things you will need are a welder to assemble the frame, a few common hand tools, a drill press, jig saw and a few nuts and bolts that are easily found at the hardware store. You will discover how easy it is to construct bending dies made of hardwood. And you will be amazed to see how well they perform. Dies can be made to bend any size pipe you might want up to the 1” diameter capacity of the machine. Need a larger capacity? Consider scaling up the design and building the machine from heavier material. Build a pipe bender today and discover what a little leverage and a couple of bending dies can do for you. It’s a simple design and an easy project to build. The end result is a compact, attractive machine that mounts nicely at the end of your work bench.

I've used bandsaws in my youth but just recently purchased a 19 inch General Bandsaw and wanted a good reference book. I reviewed several titles and was dissapointed after purchasing books reviewers described as "must have". Several books I read had missing text and poor organization with antiquated information. I was advised by a friend to purchase the Popular Mechanics Workshop series, and did. This is a very well written book describing the pros and cons of different machines, purchasing guidelines, machine set-up, maintenance & tuning, blade selection guidelines, educational projects to build your expertise and jigs to enhance your machine. All-in-all a very good book with only a few editing errors, unlike some other band saw books I've read. I liked this book so much I purchased the miter saw and table saw books.

Woodworkers trust Popular Mechanics to give them the information they need—and the Workshop series, written by respected DIY author Rick Peters, has proven invaluable. Each title covers a single tool in depth, with photos and exploded views, instructions, charts, and sidebars. This new entry covers the popular miter saw—a relatively new piece of equipment that has become a must-have on every job site and woodworking shop. That’s no surprise: it covers a wide variety of tasks with great precision. Peters helps woodworkers identify which saws and accessories best fit their needs; teaches basic and advanced techniques; and shows how to make jigs and fixtures that expand the tool’s capabilities. Attractive projects include a simple desk frame, beveled tray, and end table.

I've looked around for a good book that explains how to make joints with a router. The others I've seen do not explain the whys and hows as well as this book does. There are pictures and very good drawings. One of the things I like most about this book is that it explains clearly the mechanics of jointery; why should you choose this joint for this application and the strengths and weaknesses. It explains about how wood expands and contracts to effect the joint.

Book description
This book, in the 'Complete Illustrated Guide” format covers jigs and fixtures, a subject of perennial interest to woodworkers. Jigs are like clamps. As the saying goes, 'You can never have enough of them.” Jigs, simply put, are devices, sometimes shop-made but now often available commercially to enable woodworkers to do something more than once. For example, some jigs are fences that ensure straight cuts or templates capable of guiding tools to create a certain shape time after time. Woodworkers love jigs and fixtures for the same reason they are drawn to woodworking–designing them is about figuring out how to do something. All woodworkers are secretly engineers and inventors, and jig design and construction is a way to indulge that need. Some woodworkers love jig-making so much, they never build anything but. Simple or elaborate, jigs are an essential part of woodworking. This book, authored by prominent woodworking author, Sandor Nagyszalanczy, is organized like his successful 1994 book Workshop Jigs and Fixtures, according to function. This approach allows woodworkers to either build the jig exactly as shown or modify it to suit a wide variety of purposes. (Another thing woodworkers like is having choices.)

The bandsaw is one of the most widely used woodworking tools, found in 3 out 4 home and professional workshops. Although deceptively simple - a steel blade rotating around two rubber-clad wheels, the bandsaw does its best work when it's tuned properly. Unfortunately, most owner's manuals provided by tool manufacturers are difficult to understand, and the drawings and photos are unclear. In this book, professional woodworker Lonnie Bird gives all the information bandsaw owners wished came in the owner's manual plus much more - what to look for when buying a bandsaw and how to tune it up for optimal performance. The information is presented in an accessible, easy-to-understand way, making this a quick reference as well as comprehensive handbook. All the information is up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the author and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic woodworking subject a fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated and photographed volume will quickly become the standard reference and is a must-have title for any woodworker

I am rather disappointed by this book. The information provided is quite rudimentary. Much of the book is dedicated to the building of a router table (a particular design). So if you are looking to buy a commericial table, don't expect to find any help here. In the routers sections, it fails to actually recommend particular routers that are good for router table use - by writing just in general terms instead of citing specific routers manufacturers. The book lacks in going in depth on the various techniques on using the router table.
