  1. Split Top Hybrid Roubo

    The Back Story About a year ago I got into the hand tool thing. For me it was more of a personal choice so I posted all my power tools on craigslist and sold everything! I didn't really have a grasp on the methods and techniques but with the help of sources like The Hand Tool School, online...
  2. Roubo/Scandinavian Workbench

    Hello. This is the workbench I finished making on November the 12th. It is a combination of both the Roubo and Scandinavian bench designs. It has a shoulder vise, leg vise, and tail vise. The bench is made from hard maple with the shoulder vise chop and sliding deadman made of walnut. I also...
  3. Mr Wolfe's Roubo inspired hybrid workbench

    Mr Wolfe's Roubo hybrid workbench. This is my first major wood project aside from a few small hardwood boxes and some picture frames. I've spent about 150 hours over a period of 5 weeks making this piece. My budget was about $200 on wood (I had the oak), $150 on the vises, the rail and hardware...
  4. Sliding Deadman

    So to add even more work holding options to my hybrid roubo/nicholson workbench i decided to add a deadman. It comes in handy, especially when working with longer stock. Its a pretty cheap and quick way to upgrade your bench to give you a few more options. if you want to check out the entire...
  5. Sliding Deadman for Workbench

    I created the sliding deadman for my workbench over the holidays. It is made out of the same slab of quilted maple that I made the leg vice from. They seem to match up pretty well. Since my hand crank post drill is not up and running yet, I borrowed time on my brother's drill press to make the...
  6. Bench

    Had to add this to my projects (sorry for those of you that have seen this already). I started this bench in 2008 and finished adding the end vise in 2012. This bench only cost around $300 in materials to build, wood is pine throughout. The only parts that aren't pine are the front vise and...

    Getting Started The Predecessors One of the first projects that I made when I first started woodworking in 2010 was a workbench for the garage. All 2×4 construction with a 3/4" thick top of white pine. I made all the cuts on my newly acquired miter saw and actually assembled the thing in the...

    Why I Decided to Build This So after reading Christopher Schwarz's book Workbenches: From Design and Theory to Construction and Use, I decided it was time I built myself a "real" workbench. I've had various bench-like structures that I've used as assembly tables, clamping areas, clutter...

    Concept. I've yearned for a few years now to have my own space, my own small shop and build my own bench. I've been inspired by YouTube contributers such as Paul Sellers, Billy's Little Bench to build my own bench, that I didn't actually need a workshop full of powerful tools to create a...

    Workbench Base Finished I am busy building a split top Roubo workbench and have recently finished the base. The base is built from some left-over African Rosewood I had, while the top will be Hard Maple. The vices and sliding deadman will be made from Leadwood. Next up is installing some...

    Lower rails, leg vise, and sliding deadman First of all I just want to say that I love the term "sliding deadman". I think it's hilarious! As a forensics investigator for the Edmonton Police Service (a city nearing a million in population) I have seen my fair share of dead men, literally. But I...
