Edit
Here's a fine in addition to massive Roubo bench made yesteryear Ben inwards the UK. It's close twice the size of mine!
It's 7' 6" (2300mm) long x 29" (730mm) deep x 35" (900) high.
It's made from High German beech in addition to the exceed is 4" thick (100mm) across the total width. The legs are 5" foursquare (125mm). It took 150 - 200 hours to consummate in addition to the fabric terms lone was £800 ($1,300).
The Japanese mode sawhorses are used for to a greater extent than intricate work.
Both vice screws are touchstone ones from Veritas.
The exceed was attached alongside a tenon in addition to a 1:8 dovetail on the outside, although Ben said this was barely visible in addition to he would role a 1:6 or 1:4 side yesteryear side time. I used 1:1 on mine ie 45 degrees.
You'll discovery the dorsum leg was angled inwards gild to render extra back upward at the nurture for the large overhang. It's a dainty send on although he admitted alongside a massive 4" thick exceed it in all probability wasn't necessary. The jaws were padded on both sides in addition to the vice chop is an elegant understated shape.
The sliding deadman is as elegant in addition to slides on an upturned 'V' runner to avoid a shavings trap.
If y'all don't desire to hunt for your dogs, set i inwards every hole!

Rising stops were fitted to each destination of the bench for planing against, keen for both British in addition to Japanese mode planes.
The slats for the undershelf are interesting, i side is at ninety degrees in addition to the other is angled to tally the angle of the get-go nurture leg. With careful mensuration in addition to using an strange publish of slats the shelf was completed without an strange shaped slice at the end. This was indicative of the idea that went into this fine bench. Thank y'all Ben for sharing.
