I built a spilt-top Roubo Workbench from solid red Oak boards. Part 1: The Base.

Beautiful workbench. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

Recycled Oak boards, very nice. This is a must watch again and again. Like the cool aid man says... oh yeah.

@jeffforbes3772 Thanks man, part 2 will release in a week or two. As soon as I get the time!😄

[@bfross1]

That thing has to be rock solid. Bravo!

[@JOATCrafted]

It really is. Wait til you see the top!

[@ItsRedAndItchy]

Good Job, that's looking like a nice sturdy base. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@JOATCrafted]

Sturdy...but HEAVY!

Very nice work. I had a bunch of white oak flooring that came out of a remodel. I spent a lot of time pulling nails out, by the time they were planed down they were 9/16" thick and less than 3" wide. I made a trestle hall table out of them. it came out nice I get a lot of compliments on it. I like that you stuck with it and built something usable and very nice. Congrats!

[@JOATCrafted]

Thank you! I would love to see a picture of your table!

That’s nice red oak

[@JOATCrafted]

That is OLD red oak! I get tickled to see all of those medullary rays!

Good video, voiceover wonderful, obnoxious music not so much. Not sure why youtubers feel the need to play the same 3 cords of music over and over and over. As far as your skills it looks like you did a great job. Please dispense with the music.

[@JOATCrafted]

@Bernardgrubb Thanks for the comments. Point taken on the music. I'm very new to posting, so I'm a work in progress.
