Launch Day: Thinking Like a Professional Is Here
Celebrate the November 1 release of Thinking Like a Professional by Dave Kyle. Explore the first volume of The Workshop Library and where to find it.
Launch Day, Thinking Like A Professional Arrives at Last!
Today, November 1, 2026, we are proud to celebrate the release of Thinking Like a Professional by Dave Kyle. Seeing this book published is a meaningful moment for us, and we are excited to share it with you.
Thinking Like a Professional is Volume One of The Workshop Library. It explores the mindset, judgment, and habits behind exceptional craftsmanship. The book looks beyond the steps of a repair to the thinking that guides each decision: how to assess the work in front of you, understand the standards it calls for, and approach it with care and confidence.
Dave draws on his experience in wood touch up and repair to share lessons about awareness, discipline, integrity, and professional responsibility. Whether you are developing your skills or have worked in the trade for years, we hope the book gives you ideas you can carry into your own work.
We also hope it starts a conversation. Craftsmanship grows when people share what they have learned, ask thoughtful questions, and take pride in doing a job well. This first volume is part of our commitment to making that knowledge more accessible.
The book is available on Amazon. If you prefer to order through a local bookstore, you can ask whether they can obtain Thinking Like a Professional by Dave Kyle through IngramSpark’s distribution network.
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged us along the way. We are proud to put this first volume into readers’ hands, and we look forward to hearing what you think.
Today is launch day. Welcome to The Workshop Library.
