Hi all, this is my first post and my first serious attempt at a woodworking project. I am a hand tool only worker so it will be slow but hopefully at the end I will be rewarded with a bench that will outlast me.
I am using my own plans loosely based on those by everyone on the internet who has built a Roubo style bench and kindly provided their experiences. The bench will be made entirely out of pine. The following pictures show the timber and hand tools I will be using. The only things not pictured are the hardware for the vices and an electric drill. It will only be used on the metal plates as I do not know of any brace and bit capable of cutting through steel.
