RWW 29 The Roubo: Introduction and Initial Milling

This will be the first of who knows how many episodes detailing the build of my new Roubo workbench. Today I detail my ideas for the design, and walk you through the initial milling of several hundred pounds of ash.

Lessons Learned:

• Good infeed and outfeed support is essential when jointing/planing long boards
• Handplanes make glue ups even easier
• Proper planning can save you money
• Furniture is furniture whether is lives in your shop or not: don’t sacrifice quality
