Teach me more, I've had a small shop for over twenty years!
Moving to a new house and have to make a single car garage my shop. This would help tremendously!
Trying to downsize the shop...this should help.
I don't know if 20 x 20 qualifies as a small shop, but as I fill it with tools it feels like it! I know there are people with much smaller spaces, but I will throw my hat into the ring to try for the book. If I don't win it, I think I will try to get it anyway.
Heheh...You can buy this book for $0.01 on Amazon. However, winning the book would save the reader the $4.00 shipping cost.
Sounds like a good one.. Check out my remodel progress ;)

I like free!
Do I only need to comment to apply for the contest?
Free is the most novel concept.
Worth a shot.
I need all the help I can get as I'm in the process of setting up a small shop after some years without one.
Working on setting up my small work shop and would love to have this book.
Just starting my small woodshop. This is perfect timing!
Nice, but I don't actually need it. I've got the dvd of Fine Woodworking from issue 1 through 2014 installed on my laptop and can look all this stuff up very easily. I can print it out if I want. etc.
If you draw my name, please find a youth woodworking program to donate the book to, please.
thanks,
Like a lot of woodworkers, I have a small workshop
Still desperately trying to make time to finish getting my shop set up and start seriously making sawdust...
I had a copy of this years ago when I was working out of my dirt-floor garage. Now I have a great shop building, it's even heated! I'd like to have another copy of this book to remind me of how far I've come over the past 30-some years...
Always looking for help when I can get it.
Count me in too, even though I'm sure you have small print somewhere that excludes subscribers outside the US. I guess you count us as an insignificant minority.
Please include me in the draw
My wife would love to be able to get her car into our double garage - currently filled with semi-completed projects and requiring a major re-organisation. Would be great to have some guidance.
I'm never one to turn down solid advice from the more experienced.
I'm good with most anything free!
Thanks!
Happy New Year!!
I'd kill for a 20x20 workshop. The main work area of my workshop is 10x14 in my home's utility room. I just finished an Arts and Crafts dining room table (cover of Fine Woodworking #122).
Sounds like a good book
Merry Christmas!!
It doesn't matter how wsmall small is, you do what you can with the space you have (or can borrow)
Some of the old stuff is the best
Looks like a winner.
This would be a great addition to my woodworking library.
Would love to have this book.

With just 165 square feet I could use all the help I can get!
This would be exactly what I need, as my shop is what used to be a detached one car garage. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas.
My shop space is 80" x 123". Have pity.
Looks like a good book
Well, I am always looking for new reading material. Pick me please.
I can always learn something new and useful. Happy holidays and may your shop be filled with sawdust.
I probably need this book. My basement workshop is about 12' X 12' with a 4' extra space. I get used to moving one thing to use another.

You can never have too many books!
I have this book, and it's got plenty of useful information. My shoplet, 11x11 feet (12x12 if you count the stud bays) has challenged my small-shop-building skills for 42 years.
Since I can no longer afford a subscription to Fine Woodworking, this book would be a welcome addition to my collection.
Sounds great! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Please.

I am currently setting up shop in a 435 sqft backyard shed, and some of the basics in that book would probably be very helpful to me. Please enter me in the drawing for it.

Always looking for another tip in setting up and organizing my shop that has to double as our garage.
Frequently I find time tested, old wisdom tips from books such as these come through on solid advice for many different types of projects and such.

I need to win this book.
i know I won't win but you gotta try
It's will bring back memories of my Dad. My Dad was a finishing carpenter trained in Denmark and was well known in our new home in Canada. This book will bring back those memories....
It would be wonderful to have as woodworking for the enthusiast at that time was less sophisticated than it is today.
As I plan a new shop it would certainly come in handy!
Maybe I'll get the book!
good luck to those with the 12 x 12 sheds
My workshop cmprise two rooms in my basement. This layout makes complex projects more challenging. Hopefully, Ideas from this book will transform my workshop.
What a great book to put back in print
