Magazines

Take Marc Holloway, for example, who works in one of the smallest 'shops we've ever featured; his Egyptian-style dresser shows us that it really ain't what you got, it's the way that you use it, and that's what gets results

Andy King, meanwhile, tests four small and affordable timber prep' machines that are ideal for the small 'shop, while Ben Plewes continues to gather useful storage advice for his basement-workshop in Notes...

Once you've organised your workspace, we'll show you how to use it: build the ideal starter kit with our 14 must-have tools; find out what furniture maker Chris Tribe thinks makes a good woodworker; then get to work with our stylish butcher's table project.

If that isn't enough, our first University Challenge offers five inspiring builds. Hands on buzzers, no conferring!
