One of the best books on shop setups that I've read. Most of some other guides just skim through and assume you have the funds to buy all that you need. Ralph's book focuses on budget and contains many real world practical examples which I appreciate!
I've been a tradesman for more than 30 years so I'm pretty experienced when it comes to what I love to do. Was pleasantly surprised by the tips Ralph teaches in his book. And its rare for me. Also, the list of discounted tool suppliers make this a no-brainer purchase.
This is a very clear, thorough, well-written book. It details many aspects of setting up a small wood shop, from layout to electrical work to insulation and soundproofing. The author also talks about what tools to select and suggests a priority order for people who cannot get all they want at once. It is an excellent source of information for anyone from hobbyists to beginning professionals.
I set up my first shop in a spare corner last week with the help of this book andI must say it has helped me considerably. Many of the tools I've bought withthe list provided has really saved me quite a small fortune."
This book contains a LOT of information and you learn a lot from the photos. There are many practical ideas, is very well illustrated and detailed. Dust collection, electrical supply and shop layout are covered completely.
I never considering buying a book when it comes to shop set ups and this is an exception. The list of tools and places to purchase them was well worth the entire price of the book and much more! Discovered many new sources that I never thought existed.
One friend of mine gifted me with this book. I started to read and find a lot of new and interesting things for me. I think it is very useful and interesting for a reading book that can help many people to improve their skills.
Got Ralph's book yesterday and I found his tips very insightful. I'm currently setting up a new shop in my new home and his guide has been invaluable to me.
Great value for what its worth. Was in the midst of setting up my shop and found many of the tips useful. What I did enjoyed the most were the places to get discounted tools
