Ideas and techniques for designing and building workspaces inside and outside the home.
Workshops are not just for carpenters and builders. The workshops in this book have been designed for writers, artists, furniture makers, boat builders, gardeners, collectors and those who like to maintain and restore old cars.
And workshops don't have to be expensive - one of the workshops in this book was constructed inside a closet. Even the most elaborate separate building can be put up for a very reasonable cost if you follow the instructions in this book and do the work yourself.
Based on the success of their previous best selling books - Cabins, Sheds and Playhouses You Can Build - the author team of David and Jeanie Stiles have combined their skills and experience to walk you step-by-step through the selection and construction of a workshop that will give you years of enjoyment and add to the value of your house when you come to sell.
Just a few of the other fact-filled chapters in this book include:
Workshops You Can Build is packed with over 300 detailed and beautiful illustrations by the author which show every step of the building process in detail.

We wrote Workshops You Can Build for do-it-yourself builders who are budget conscious, have adequate building skills and a desire to expand or create a workspace for their hobby or profession. Sometimes this means simply clearing out an unused corner of a room, installing shelves or redesigning space in an attic or basement. It can also mean building an addition to your house or even building a structure separate from your house. We have tried to include as many different workspace situations as possible.
Our aim in writing Workshops You Can Build is to take the mystery out of home construction projects and to describe building techniques and projects in a way that makes them easy to understand and build. The book contains detailed illustrations backed up with clearly written instructions and includes a section with photographs of work spaces used by woodworkers, artists, potters and writers, to mention a few. Our goal is for the reader to feel totally confident when undertaking his or her building project. It is written in layman's terms with details, advice and trade secrets that we have learned from our own experience in designing and building.
David Stiles is a designer/builder and together with his wife Jeanie has authored fifteen books.
