Works great! Need to figure out some bugs like some slop in the planing stop fit. It sure is nice to have such a large and sturdy surface compared to the WorkMate. Only just fits in the garage with the cars though…
Your roubo is really great! Congrats! You did a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing. What finishing did you used? The legendary mixture from Chris? Boiled linseed oil + varnish + mineral spirit?
I think the closer you can get your legs to the end of the table, the more stable and less tippy it will be (and more shelf space between the legs!). I left 13″ in case I ever wanted to install an end vice, but I don’t think I ever will at this point.
Yippee! Very exciting. It looks great. Can’t wait to see to see what you do with it.
Very nice looking bench. I really need to get around to building one, and stop staying that I need to build one. LOL
It looks fantastic, very nice work!. How are you finding it in use?

Thanks! I just two coats of Danish oil.
Nice looking bench. I am making a 72″ version and wondered if you altered the dimension from leg to the end of the top.

Let me know how the bench turns out!
