Welcome to Workshop Essentials, the home of Steve Maskery's woodworking DVDs and accessories. Here you will find the first two disks in the Workshop Essentials series along with useful hardware that you can't usually find in your local Shed.

Steve Maskery, well-known to readers of Good Woodworking magazine for his ingenious jigs, brings you right into his workshop to demonstrate how to work quicker, safer and smarter by using jigs. All these jigs are tried and tested, and Steve shows you, in his own inimitable style, how to make and use them yourself.

It's a superb collection of jigs, gadgets, accessories and general must-haves for your workshop, brought to you by one of the country's most popular and entertaining woodworking writers.

There are a number of clips on YouTube, the most recent being two which are not on the DVDs.

The first is a short rip fence (click here to view) for the tablesaw, which reduces the risk of kickback, and you can download a PDF of it by clicking here.

The second (click here to view) is a little jig for cutting very narrow strips more safely on the tablesaw, such as when making laminates for curved chair legs, for example. Again, you can get a free PDF of it here.
