Jurriaan Benschop - Why Paintings Work
In Why Paintings Work, writer and curator Jurriaan Benschop navigates the diverse landscape of contemporary painting. He introduces the work of dozens of painters, discusses the themes that can be found in their work and keeps asking the question: Why does this painting work? In what ways does it speak to the viewer? He considers both the visible aspects of painting —such as the depicted motif and the application of paint— and the concepts, beliefs and motivations that underlie the canvas. Why Paintings Work is not just about how we look at paintings, but also about finding a language that suits the art and viewing experience of today. ‘Is there such a thing as the content of a painting?

Build More Stuff With Wood
Build More Stuff with Wood is a follow-up book to Build Stuff with Wood (2017), the first book in the Build Stuff series, which showed beginner woodworkers how to make a great assortment of woodworking projects with a handful of small, portable power tools like a circular saw, drill, and router.

The added tools and new techniques allow you to build a wide range of projects for the home and workshop.

Workbenches
A good, sturdy workbench is at the heart of any woodshop, and every woodworker needs one to hold and support work for everything from stock preparation to finishing. This selection of articles from Fine Woodworking magazine gives woodworkers all the advice they need, whether considering a starter model, a small bench, or a full-scale workbench that will last for decades. Workbenches featured include a classic Shaker bench, a basic bench with built-in storage, and a mini-bench that has all the features of a full-size bench. Besides the bench itself, woodworkers also need accessories to hold workpieces on the benchtop for planing, chiseling, sawing, and many other tasks, using vises and wooden clamps, bench hooks and saw hooks, holdfasts and handscrews. Chapters on tool storage, workbench tips, and techniques at the bench round out the collection for a complete guide to the workbench. With such a wide range of workbenches and workbench accessories represented, this book will appeal to
