    Roubo Bookstand ~ Part One

    My Blog Entry Here. The Roubo bookstand. It is one piece that truly fascinates me. Why? Perhaps it is the wooden hinge or the fact that the entire piece is made from one section of wood. The curves and the overall shape give it a look the outdoes anything with metal hardware. They are fun to...

    Roubo Workbench - More Progress

    I finally got back to working on the Roubo Bench. So far I've got the 2 back legs fitted into their dovetails / mortises. View image in gallery Lesson learned. Don't use the 100 year old antique Mallet to pound in the legs, that's a job for the 2 pound brass hammer and a 2x4. (I was able...
