Dan's Blackbutt Roubo Bench
My major project for 2009 is good solid work bench. I've bought my wood - around 170 superfeet of costal blackbutt from Malcom Ward. I've read some books - The Workbench Book, and Chris's Schwartz.
I'm embracing Schwartz's teaching to overbuild... while maintaining your marriage.
Current plan is 9'x2' and 4" thick. 5"x5" legs. Legs are on the corners. Don't think this will last as it makes the leg vise smaller.
Leg vise on the edge. Sliding deadmen to start with plans for a sliding leg vise with the support under the shelf. The new bench crafted vise is expensive... but it looks so smooth and shiny.
Any feedback welcome.
