  1. We got the thing put together but just can’t get the handles on. The pin seems just too big for the hole. Help!

  2. This was easy to put together MyBest.Tools sturdy, easy to store in my Boston Apartment! Definitely giftable to any crafter who lives in a major city or has little to no storage space

  3. Remember those days when you can walk into Home Depot and pick up all those lumber for $60 bucks? Ain't happening now.

  4. I mean its fuckin awesome…. but it seems pretty unnecesary. Whats the purpose of this design? I dont get it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ again, pretty cool though

  5. I'm a complete novice … Is it not important that all of the 2x4s look completely warped??? Even the finished surface appears to dip down on both ends.

  6. Nice bench but you missed one of the basic facets of the Roubo. The legs on his bench were on the same plane as the edge of the bench top. That way it gives you more clamping surface especially when you put a face vise on the bench and need to clamp large pieces.

  7. Real nice job here. Thanks for sharing the experience. I can see why you put the bowties in where the lamination wasn't set to good by the looks of it. Wouldn't it be cool to do all (4) corners this way as I'm thinking symmetry here. That's just me, it really looks good as is too…
