To prevent accidents, keep safety in mind while you work. Use the safety guards installed on power equipment; they are for your protection. When working on power equipment, keep fingers away from saw blades, wear safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood chips and sawdust, wear hearing protection and consider installing a dust vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne sawdust in your woodshop. Don't wear loose clothing, such as neckties or shirts with loose sleeves, or jewelry, such as rings, necklaces or bracelets, when working on power equipment. Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment. People who are sensitive to certain chemicals should check the chemical content of any product before using it. The authors and editors who compiled this book have tried to make the contents as accurate and correct as possible. Plans, illustrations, photographs and text have been carefully checked. All instructions, plans and projects should be carefully read, studied and understood before beginning construction. Due to the variability of local conditions, construction materials, skill levels, etc., neither the author nor Popular Woodworking Books assumes any responsibility for any accidents, injuries, damages or other losses incurred resulting from the material presented in this book.

Christopher Schwarz is the editor of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine and is a long-time amateur furniture maker and handtool enthusiast.
He began working with wood at age eight when his family members built their first home on their farm outside Hackett, Arkansas, using hand tools because there was no electricity. After studying journalism at Northwestern University and The Ohio State University, Chris became a newspaper reporter but studied furniture-making at night at the University of Kentucky and joined the staff of Popular Woodworking in 1996.
In addition to his duties at Popular Woodworking, Chris writes about hand tools for The Fine Tool Journal and has four DVDs on traditional hand tool use produced and sold by Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. He teaches handwork at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking and Kelly Mehler's School of Woodworking.
He lives in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, with his wife, Lucy; two daughters, Maddy and Katy; and at least three cats. This is his first book.
I began writing this book as a manual for my students after explaining for the 100th time why their workbenches weren't working. It was written on the couch at night with the kids by my side, on weekends and in hotels from California to Germany.
Luckily for me, lots of people around me gave their time, effort and goodwill in generous measures. At the top of the list are my wife and daughters: Lucy, Maddy and Katy. They tolerated me being chained to my laptop without a single complaint.
John Hoffman, a fellow woodworker in arms, read every word of this book in both its rough and polished form, helped me shape the narrative and listened to untold hours of me droning on about workbench obscura. Also without complaint.
Louis Bois, a professional draughtsman and amateur woodworker, made all of the construction drawings in this book and also edited every chapter for style and substance.
Gary Roberts, who runs the excellent Toolemera Press web site (toolemera.com) provided many of the old photos and engravings from his personal collection. His web site is an excellent resource for anyone investigating the written record of early woodworking.
Other illustrations, photos and research materials came from a fair number of readers and woodworking friends, including: Michael Gladwin, Stephen Fee and Wiktor Kuc of the internet magazine
