This Roubo Workbench Design Changed How I Build Forever

In this video, I break down how I rethought the traditional Roubo workbench design to make it stronger, more practical, and fully customizable, including bench length, top thickness, base joinery, and hardware compatibility. If you’re planning a Roubo bench and don’t want to guess at dimensions, materials, or layout, I built a tool that generates a custom Roubo workbench plan based on your shop space and build preferences. 👉 Start your design here: https://www.plancrafted.com/designs/r... This approach is for serious DIY woodworkers who want: • Proper Roubo workbench dimensions (not one-size-fits-all) • Accurate cut lists and material breakdowns • Hardware-ready designs (leg vise, tail vise, etc.) • A bench that fits their shop, tools, and workflow This is not a weekend project plan or a generic PDF download. It’s a system for designing a bench you’ll actually use for decades. 📔 Recommended reading: The Anarchist's Workbench by Christopher Schwarz ► https://lostartpress.com/products/the...
