    Default Roubo bench - Purchase.

    Morning All,

    Just wondered if anyone here in Oz has made their own Roubo split top work bench, or has even purchased one. Am starting to get into furniture making, and whilst I like the idea of downloading plans and making one, the reality is I have a few other projects on the go, so time poor. I would look at making one but haven't found any plans that not based in imperial either. I know I can covert but hoping to not go down that road, also haven't found anyone who can provide the vices

    So if anyone knows where I could purchase a premade bench here, that's Plan A, or could recommend materials/plans Plan B!

    Cheers all!!

    I doubt you'll have any chance of Plan A, but timbernut had a split top bench in this very forum a while back. There may have been others.
