Robert Wearing’s “The Solution at Hand: Jigs & Fixtures to Make Benchwork Easier” has been printed and is en route to our warehouse in Indiana. As soon as it arrives, we will discontinue the special pre-publication offer where you receive a free PDF of the book when you purchase the hardback.
After Monday, purchasing the hardback and PDF together will be $30. If you order before midnight Eastern time on Monday, you will get both for $24.
“The Solution at Hand” is a great companion book to Wearing’s “The Essential Woodworker.” While “The Essential Woodworker” gives you essential basic information on using hand tools, “The Solution at Hand” is filled with hundreds of jigs, fixtures and appliances that make handwork a little easier, especially for repetitive operations.
You can read all the details and download a free excerpt here.

Is there a lot of overlap with Wearing’s book -Woodwork Aids and Devices (a great book I already own)? Just curious if this volume would be somewhat redundant or not. Thanks
Yes. There is a lot of overlap between the two books. We picked the best hand-tool appliances from Wearing’s writings. So if you have his two books on workshop aids then you don’t need this book.
I pre ordered the book but I’m still can’t seem to download the pdf.
I get this error message followed by some html coding:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
Any ideas ?
Send an email to help@lostartpress.com and we will fix you up.
I downloaded my copy……it’s a swell book.
Thanks.
Just scrolled the PDF version – very nice, lot’s of neat shop jigs. Can’t wait to get the hardcopy in my hands.
Aahhhh!!!! I missed the window !! I read Monday next week …;((
