Roubo Type Workbench
Nov 12, 2010
Left side---leg vise, planing stop and stowed holdfasts
Alas—Chris Schwarz’s workbench book did it. Used his minimum of 5′ width (all i had room for) and did a major rebuild of “old” planing bench shown partially in prior post of hand plane chest.

Hi There, like the bench you have there. Noticed it because i'm in the middle of building one myself. I see your into the boats. I build the model ones . Like the divers suit you have on ...lol...looks like something from the Jacques Cousteau era!!
Cheers, nice workshop by the way.. Wish mine was that clean!

Hi Rich
Thanks for the compliment(s)
Pix were taken after a general clean-up.
Yep---lived aboard a 35'ketch off and on for 12 years.
Workshop consists of 1 side of an oversize 2 car garage.
Good luck and smooth sailing on your workbench build.
Post pix of completion.
Cheers
Ken
