Michael Pekovich’s new Benchwork ticks all the correct boxes. In fact, there are few people alive today who could successfully write a book such as this

Benchwork is the result of Mike’s thoughtful approach to creating a shop that is efficient, practical, and (like his furniture) beautiful. Each bit of wisdom – such as his approach to hand planing without a tail vise – is considered and explained. Mike acknowledges that others work differently, and he offers sound suggestions for those who prefer a tail vise. But he also explains his methods so completely that you’ll understand both his reasoning and arguments against it.

That’s because Benchwork is not about convincing you to work like Mike. It’s written with only one idea in mind: To help you make deeply informed decisions about the tools, benches, cabinets, and chests in your workspace. 

With the help of this book, you’ll get to skip many of the mistakes and missteps of beginning woodworkers. You’ll design and outfit chests and cabinets that more experienced woodworkers would struggle with. (How do you begin breaking up the space for your tools in a cabinet or a chest? What’s the best way to store a chisel or a spokeshave?)

And you’ll become the recipient of the years and years of knowledge and experience that Mike has gathered from other woodworkers and his own time at the bench.
