I love to see how the log gets slabbed down to so many usable pieces. Slabs a bit wider front-to-back and a bit thinner top-to-bottom would make great bar or counter tops. I'd love a hardwood slab bar in my home if I had space. I see people build custom Lego tables with plywood. I wonder if you'd be able to make a laser-etched pattern of Lego baseplates into the surface of a hardwood slab and then epoxy finish them into usable Lego studs. Have Lego buildings come right out of the tabletop! Impractical for sure, but I bet it would get a ton of views and love as a convention piece!

I built my Roubo a few years ago after I retired....but it is sure tempting to obtain a 'kit' from Matt....I've been very satisfied with my bench from reclaimed Fir....but one in Maple....Whew!! By the by....if you are considering building a Roubo bench, I found it a great experience and the absolute heart of my shop. I had to put mine in a left hand corner, so the vise is on the right as one faces the bench....but I have found this non-traditional location has not been any sort of a problem. Perhaps because I am 6'3, who knows. As to the height....I followed Paul Sellers' lead (he is also 6'3) and made it 39" high....and it sure is kinder to my back. Take the time to fit the sliding deadman....it's a nice touch appearance-wise and I use it frequently. Get your holdfast from Crucible Tool....I ended up with two and use them both at times. Luxury, eh? One other thing.....if you put linseed oil on the top...do NOT get any down the dogholes....it will be months before they hold and will never be as crisp as they were dry. Yeh....experience. -Veteran '66-68

Matt: all that rip-saw work with the chain saw. Do you set the teeth different? I looked them up last year (2021). The makers of rip chains don't want to sell to anyone not working professionally at it, pretty much in a shop setting. As they explain it, it is just too dangerous. You made it look like it's no particular problem, the chips were long and neat, speed seemed reasonable. Redo-ing our chains to the "rip-angle" was more than we wanted to do, considering we'll probably never do another like that. Not into danger, anyway. We aren't pros. Took down a cottonwood that was threatening a house. That butt was so big and heavy, we had to cut it into quarters - and our chain-saws (or the chains) weren't really up to it.
