CStanford Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think the "Triple H" sounds a mighty fine bench, I'm thinking I'll call my the "Devon Hillbilly" :-) My kitchen table has four legs, four rails, and a top. Could it be that I have a Roubo kitchen table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes, "Dutch" is a corruption of the word Deutsch which described the Germans who settled in Pennsylvania, as in sprechen sie deutsch? They were not from the Netherlands. I didn't know that...nice factoid. I always assumed Pennsylvania Dutch meant they were Dutch people who settled in Pennsylvania. I guess that's something I should have known, given my last name is Deutsch. And no I can't sprechen sie Deutsch...I'm Amurikin. Thanks for the history lesson!

CStanford Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 If it has a crochet, I'd say yes! I might just add one. And maybe a high Janka dog strip while I'm at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I might just add one. And maybe a high Janka dog strip while I'm at it! Yeah dude. Live the dream! A wooden hand screw can also turn a kitchen counter into a decent workbench... ... A photo from about 4 or so years ago when I was first learning to cut dovetails...before I had a dedicated workbench. It has drawers so I guess that makes it Shaker.

Tpt life Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 When I left the fatherland I started spelling in English or else I surely might have typed Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch. Or we could scream back and forth about Georg Händel vs George Handel. I tend to write about people the way they talk about themselves. You could try to crawl into ole Guerney's grave and tell him he was mispronouncing it. I would like to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 ==>In that case, I'd name it after my dad not a dead Frenchman. Not sure what point you're trying to make... As common practice, when identifying my fathers/grandfather's bench as being French(Roubo), Scandinavian, German, etc I'm speaking in terms of taxonomy*.... Woodworkers normally associate certain properties as derived from an ancestral form and associate benches incorporating those properties to a given taxa (Roubo, Shaker, etc)... My grandfather's bench was clearly derived from Plate 11, but he removed the crochet and installed a leg vise -- similar to Fig 3&4. My dad derived his bench from his father's, but added a tail vise... So now, you've got Plate 11 with both a leg and tail vises --- strikingly similar to Benchcrafted's non-split-top-Roubo... My first bench was derived from my father's, but I substituted a Veritas Twin-screw vise... Which was a mistake... My current bench is an implementation of Benchcrafted's Split-top Roubo... Hence I call my bench Roubo, recognizing it's ancestry... *derived from shared descent from common ancestors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
