mkrusen Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Finally finished my Roubo. I took pictures of the whole build but I won't bore you all with another Roubo build. However, I'm very happy with the end result and felt obligated to share! Cherry, walnut, and curly maple. As always, the folks here were instrumental to my success with their instruction and advice. Thanks everyone.My router jumped on me while flattening the top when it hit a knot and took a pretty nasty bite so I had to take a lot more off the top than I had hoped. Oh well, still looks good and is just slightly under 4". Edited November 2, 2015 by mkrusen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Come on man, that's a total bench porn tease. You can't start all like "I'm going to put roubo in the title" then only post three pics..We're visual folks. . Give up the play by play.

You can't start all like "I'm going to put roubo in the title" then only post three pics..We're visual folks. . Give up the play by play. agree with Brendon. "Bore us with the details of another Roubo thread?" Are you serious? Don't you know your audience??? More pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkrusen Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Alright Brendon you asked for it. Here's some pics from throughout the process. Thanks for the comments everyone.Bringing home the goods.My shop partner claiming the lumber as his.This glue-up convinced me to buy more clamps. Not that I really needed much convincing!End-cap installed and tail-vise cavity routed.Condor tails. These were fun to make.Top completed. The project stayed at this point for FAR too long. Stupid job got in the way...Dry assembly of the base.Me and the pups finally done. Sore back and time for a beer.

shaneymack Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Great pics. I love the one of the dog on the pile of lumber. We should start a new thread instead of "feet up" it could be " dogs on lumber" Could make for some entertaining pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
