I really like this book but I was somewhat disappointed in the fact that there are no diagrams of how to build these work benches in this book I'm in the process of trying to figure out what book I can buy from y'all that will show me how to build these work benches step by step and I'm sure you all probably have one that does that but since it's hard to find those on this page because some of the books do not have more than one or two pictures and I do not know what is in them not hesitant to buy any more books
