Weekend Routing Projects: Easy Step-by-Step Designs in Light and Dark Wood Book

I'm in the middle of planning the layout of my two-car garage workshop and I picked up some great tips from this short, photo-heavy book:

1. Keep duplicate tools at workstations to save time looking for your one screwdriver etc
2. Mobile workstations allow for one central staging area, so tools are brought to projects instead of vice versa
3. Think about workflow. How does the wood flow from station to station?
4. Use magnets to attach metal tools to metal machines and surfaces
5. Find plywood flaws with a strong sidelight
6. In dimensions, the long measurement goes with the grain.
7. Use the triangle marking system to orient pieces for assembly
8. Manila folders make great pattern material for tracing
9. Use an inclinometer to display angles of custom built tilting tables
10. Gather all the intended content for a storage area, allow for new acquisitions, and them create a solution

If you are a reader of Wood magazine, you'll recognize some of these projects, which is a bummer, because I was looking for new projects. That said, there were some pretty ingenious ideas, like building a small outdoor lean-to cabinet to hold sheet goods. The projects are broken down into the following chapters:

Clamp racks
Wood racks
Table-saw station
Drilling stations
Lathe stations
Chop saw cabinet with extension tables
Router table
Mobile tool cabinet
Assembly table

Although I'll probably use a variation of one of the lumber rack designs, most of the book was not relevant to me, since I use non-electric hand tools exclusively.
