Well with everyone building a Roubo workbench, I thought I would make one. I started today and finished the top, solid slab of birch 32″ wide, 96″ long and 6″ thick. The legs are maple 6 by 6 inches and just under 36″ tall with a dovetail and rectangular tenon on the ends. I fit up one leg today and should finish most of the bench tomorrow.
I still have to rebate the stretchers, tenon them off and mortise them into the legs. Then some leg holes, holdfast holes, crochet, grease cup, drawer and chisel rack. No vise on this one.
Kind of fun, and a fair amount of work.
