Denette Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looks fantastic. I'm entertaining the idea of doing a roubo myself, and was wondering what a project like this runs you price-wise from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the cast hardware instead of machined (which I regret, only because the machined is so so so sexy). Lumber cost me about $700. And yeah, by the time you add in router/drill bits, holdfasts, etc. I was probably in the 1750-2000 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Brian or @Tom Cancelleri - looking at the plans it looks like the chop only clears the floor by 1/4". Is that the case, and if so, it doesn't leave enough room for anti-fatigue mats. Have you guys noticed this problem with yours or did you do anything different to leave more room for mats?

Tom Cancelleri Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I did about 3/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenb Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah I did about 2". It doesn't really affect anything. As long as the two crisscross mortises line up and you have some meat below the mortise on the chop side you can do whatever you want with regard to floor clearance.

Did you guys shift up the whole mortise that amount or just the bottom by that much? Since I'm doing standard bench height I didn't know if I could actually shorten the mortise.

BC has minimum clearance recommendations in the crisscross installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
