New addition to the workshop and a new course offering for 2023! The mini Roubo Workbench (chair makers workbench), a more compact version of our larger three day roubo course benches. Perfect for smaller work spaces or smaller projects. This one is 80cm high, 75cm long and 60cm deep. It is made from pine and beech like the bigger benches, the vice chop and parts of the gap stop have been made using English oak. A 120cm (4ft) version is also available to build.

a workbench made out of wood in a shop

Here's how it measures up. 5' long x 20" wide x 37" high (yes we are taller than in the 18th century!) Top thickness 5", legs 5" x 3 1/2", vice chop 7" wide x 2 1/2" thick. Material, 8 cu ft (96 board feet) of German beech, cost £380 (excluding the vice screw). Weight 105 kg (230 lbs), it felt heavier! Time to make 50 hours spread over three weeks. Finish Osmo hardwax oil matt, three coats. Things I would change? Not much, it looks great and I can't wait to start using it.
