For those that don’t have mortise chisels, using a drill bit and a series of holes to drill out the remaining pocket will leave easy work for the bench chisels (regarding the mortise you couldn’t finish with the router near the tail vise). Nice build, I’ve always been jealous of those with benchcrafted hardware and hope to have some myself one day!

As others have mentioned, your video work is as exceptional as your woodworking. I really like that you dull/mute the machine sounds in your videos. No need to hear a screaming table saw to understand what you're conveying. I also like that you're a "hybrid" woodworker, using both hand and power tools in your builds.

Hi , great looking job. I am a retired English gentleman living in France, I am a specialist joiner cabinet maker, A little tip for your router purchase an extra side fence and probably longer extension rods and then you can use the two side fences to clamp your router to your piece of wood so the router slides nice and easy for using the side fences and then you can adjust the side fence rail that connects the router to centralise your router this way the router will not move once you’ve got it locked in position as the two side fences hold it tight, I hope you understand this, PHIL FROM THE MOULIN FRANCE

Found your channel thru this Roubo build. Love me a good Roubo build. Some day I'll have a shop big enough to fit one in. Beautiful bench Shane. 😎 I'd love to see a breakdown of the final cost, showing lumber price and Benchcrafted parts. 😉

@TimberBiscuitWoodworks

Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! The cost was about $1200 for lumber and $1000 for the hardware. Though, some of the lumber I had in the shop for a while, so it might be a little higher than that.

When you tap those threads, you can wax that cutter as well. Less tear out that way. You could probably have saved a lot of time on those dowels if you had a lathe. The problem with the lathe though, is that it is only about 1/4 of the cost of the 'accessories; that you would need to go along with the lathe..... I only have 6 of them....

For this project it would be one with a longer stroke. But a floor model would also give more stability then balancing everything on the bench.

That's a beautiful bench, man. And no, there are never too many clamps. One question, one suggestion/request: Q: You skipped very quickly over the technique using that string crossed over your benchtop to check... level? square? something? How does that work? Maybe a follow up vid on that in detail? S/R: You're the first person I've seen use a hard wax oil on a bench, so I'd be very interested in a follow-up vid that evaluates how well that Osmo held up, and did it make the surface too slick.

@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
