    Default Knocking at the door with feet

    Hi all,

    this is an expression we use in Italy when we enter in someone else home for the first time and we take a gift on the two hands. I already introduced myself in another post and now I decided to write this new one offering you a plan I recently did.

    You can get it here:

    Roubo workbench plan

    It's a zip file where you will find a pdf plan of a Roubo style workbench (not a full Roubo for the different vise) and its SketchUp file. If you are new to SketchUp (free software) you can watch a video I prepared to illustrate the basic tools to take full advantage from it (please, don't laugh too much for my English )

    That is the workbench I use in my shop and I'm very happy with it. So, I hope you like it too.

    Looks very well put together and extremely functional, I'm impressed. I imagine this one is a little smaller and lighter than the hostirical benches, what are the dimensions?

    The plan you can download from my blog reports the exact dimensions of my workbench and...yes, I find it very functional though easy to build.

    Welcome Luca,

    Solid looking bench, it would be easy to put a shelf under it as well.

    Yes, it is possible, but when I built it I wanted to mantain the original Roubo style, even if it is not exactly the same.
