All hand tool users needs a bench and this is mine.

After doing some research and learning from my previous attempt at a workbench I finally got started on my own roubo inspired workbench. I found that with my passion for hand tools and classic joinery growing I would need a bench that would allow my passion to keep growing. I started with some southern yellow pine purchased from the local home store. I was wanting to find some 4x4 lumber but had to settle with 2x6 so I purchased about 6 boards and began to rip them down the middle giving my a lot of 2x3's which I would use to laminate up and create my bench top which is about 3 inches thick 6 feet long and 20 inches deep. I then took the rest of the 2x3's and laminated then up to make the 4 legs as well. The bench is up together in my classic style of joinery using through mortises wedged in from the top. While creating the top I also added a custom built wagon vise containing a solid hard maple wooden screw which I turned and tapped myself. It have a row of dog holes that aid the wagon vise in holding lumber flat on my bench needed for planing and other prep work. I then got started on the custom leg vise created from cherry lumber and another custom turned hard maple wooden screw. I used leather on the jaw to keep from marring wood while using this vise. This provides clamping power needed to work both on woods edge and the ends when jointing the edges and making cuts on the ends. I have been using this bench now for some time and have found that I really love this bench and this have been the best thing I have built to date. It is very solid and weights about 200 to 300 pounds which aids it in staying put when using all my hand tools.
