Late to the program, and working my way back through the Stumpy Nub videos. While a great video and very educational, it is also fun to see the changes in your style. Of particular note is how you kind of 'bounced around' a lot (physically) in this and other older videos. Your presentation has evolved in a very positive way. I still enjoyed this one a great deal.

17:45 Those casters work great, and are still available today (2021). I used a set on my bench but I got the optional mounting plates that let you slip the casters on and off so they are not hanging out there ready to snag your foot when working. Plus if you get another set of mounting plates you can use the casters on a second (or third) bench.

Been back to this video a couple of times since originally posted. Great video and humorous as usual! Have since built a recycled lumber hybrid Mini Roubo/ Nicholson (4 1/2' x 18" top with a 6" tray) bench and remembered your demo when I flattened it. Took an old crappy Challenger 5 1/4 equivalent jack plane that I got at a yard sale for $5 and made it into a scrub using your "HF technique." Thanks for the great content!

Our shop has one 24’ x 36” x 6” at 32” high.. the second is just over 40’ long on 12” x 12” timbers cut on our mill and dried for a year in our kiln. This is double width with a 16” valley for tool and materials.. several people can work this bench at once. We’re expanding again but this time to include leather design and sewing stations as well as a drying room.

Stumpy, I'm 75 and I will need to build a new workbench next year, after moving. I like this design and I will most likely build the bench as per your plans, however for flattening the top what are your thoughts on using an electric planer and belt sander to do that job. I doubt that my old shoulders are up to the task of hand planing for several hours. I also have a thickness planer with a helical head so I would start out by planing the top in 2 halves, then finally glue and clamp the 2 halves together, then do any flattening if needed. I think that the helical planer will likely give me a suitable bench top right away but I wont know until I get to that point.

Stumpy I agree with the Roubo being a utilitarian bench. I to do love to see the beautiful benches being created today. The time, exotic wood and fine joinery are awe inspiring. But in Roubos time the benches would have been built out of scraps and cheaper stock. Granted there cheaper stock would have been one solid piece where we have to do massive glue-ups. It is a tool meant to be used and refreshed to square with planes. A wonderful show full of all kinds of great information. Carry on my friend. You are doing a fine job!

I'm going to be making a workbench, so I've been watching a lot of videos. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned, at least not explicitly, is that most people need both a workbench (narrow - usually about 2' wide) and an assembly surface (as wide as you can manage). Given that most workbenches have a "front" (with the vise) and a back, I'm planning to put a fold-up assembly addition on the back - just 3/4" plywood. Thoughts?
@StumpyNubs
@StumpyNubs 3 жыл бұрын
Workbenches are traditionally narrow so you can reach across it from one side. But I see no reason why a fold-up/fold-down could not be added.

OK Stumpy, I have watched a lot of Roubo videos and am ready to make my own bench. Here is the issue i am struggling with. Do i make it with 2x4s or 2x6s? I have decided it all comes down to the hold-fasts. So my question to you is: Do hold-fasts work better in a 2x4 or 2x6 hole? If they hold better using a 2x6 then i would make my top out of 2x6s. If they hold better in a 2x4 they i see no reason not to make it out of 2x4s. Is there a difference?

According to you own dimensions the bench top is 24 inches from front to back. Yet in your links you provided the end vice is actually only a 12 inch end vice. Did you swap out the factory internal faces with longer ones to match your 24 inch width?

+Stumpy Nubs (James Hamilton) Thanks for the reply. A vice is something I have never purchased before and was unaware of this feature. Thanks for clearing this up. I'm currently shopping for vices for my upcoming Roubo bench build. I was originally looking at a leg vice for the front face but I'm thinking a quick release vice like you have used here would be much nicer to use. Tnx agn.

I can't believe how every KZbin video on planing shows people putting their planes down resting on the blades. In my formative years nobody did that, they put their planes down on their sides so the blade tips didn't hold up the plane's weight.
