Really enjoyed going through this build. That’s a great-looking bench.
Hello!
I love the Roubo.
I finished a Scandinavian bench two years ago, and now have been experiencing the itch to build another bench. I have resisted the siren song of the Roubo bench so far, but am succumbing now.
I wonder if you might be willing to swap a few emails so I can pick your brain on your Roubo build. By the pictures, it seems you built your bench much the same way that I plan to build mine.
You can reach me here (WordPress) I think, or directly at: madcapwoodwright@gmail.com
Thanks and nice work!!!!
