For You Lot Roubo Hold Upward Bench Update.

Laminating the move past times was ho-hum progress, i board at a fourth dimension on each one-half of the move past times to ensure no gaps or gum lines. Lie Nielsen bench tops are glued upwards amongst a massive hydraulic clamp all inwards i go, sadly I entirely direct maintain paw clamps.
The 2 halves were sent through the planer for a skim cutting on each side.

The exam fit on the legs inwards the mortices went good for all 4 legs, snug but non also tight.

I checked the 2 halves squared upwards nicely in addition to looked for whatever gaps, I didn't desire to forcefulness them together. The edges needed paw planing at sure as shooting points to better the fit.

Clamp upwards time, authorities annotation the 2 clamps on the ends only to ensure things stayed level.

Normally the nut for the bench screw is allow into the raise of the leg, but seeing equally I direct maintain a 2 1/2" screw tap in addition to die, I decided to tap direct into the leg. Drilling the 2" airplane pilot hole on the drill press.

This is boot the bucket for the bench screw which was taken from my stock.

Here I am tapping the thread which needs a fair chip of force!

The finished thread in addition to the exam fit below. H5N1 picayune tight but that volition shortly loosen upwards amongst use.

I made the garter a snug fit in addition to used Lignum Vitae for its oily, difficult wearing properties.

Shaping the vice chop could endure done amongst a forstner chip but I prefer to piece of employment my French curves for a overnice sweeping curve. These were an antique ready bought from east Bay in addition to larn plenty of use.

I decided to piece of employment a heavier pivot than inwards the past, sixteen mm (5/8") inwards brass. The holes were spaced at 10 mm (3/8") intervals in addition to were staggered. I direct maintain only about to a greater extent than benches to brand in addition to hence I made upwards a thick board create to band saw downward to size.

The peg board was attached amongst a through mortice in addition to tenon in addition to similar the legs this was a flared mortice amongst carefully matched wedges.

The side frames were glued upwards amongst twin Dominoes which are plenty potent enough. The clamp one-half means up, was to fine adapt the slightly flared legs in addition to hence that it was a perfect fit for the mortices inwards the top.
The legs were pre drilled on the drill press to direct maintain the long stretchers which volition endure cutting to length later the legs direct maintain been attached to the top. The underside of the move past times was oiled earlier assembly, it's much easier to create beforehand.
Tomorrow we'll run into if it all fits!
