The Portable, Full-Size, Safari-Ready Roubo




Lots of workbench aficionados think they are on the cutting edge of the latest trends in benchdom. They act humble, even surprised that they've unearthed yet another bench design, posting fuzzy and grainy pictures sent to them by self-appointed workbench archaeologists. These people have an illness. Or more accurately, an addiction. They are sick, sick individuals. You know who you are. What is a workbench? For some its rope and a big toe. For others its a robot with hydraulic pistons operated from a separate room by a fat balding man eating Snickers with a knife and fork while watching Matlock reruns. For us at Benchcrafted, there is the ONE bench. The one bench to rule them all. One bench to hold your boards, and in the workshop, bind them.

  3. Classic. Well played by all. I already have a bench, but am collecting and drying the wood for another. I look forward to using your hardware.

    Will my vise hand wheel magically spin like that? Or do you have to buy the Benchcrafted Roubo Wand as an accessory? If so, how much is that and can I get it in curly maple?
