Cheeset202 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yeah, I thought about drilling out the waste with a 1/2” forstner bit then cleaning up with a chisel but any excuse to add to my router bit collection works and it’s not like I didn’t have a bunch of other work to do on the bench, like making up the leg blanks!

I get it but any chance for some ribbing in a roubo bench build shall not be missed. It's on the welcome sign. It's looking great so far.

Popular Post Cheeset202 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Got back in the shop this weekend after spending a week visiting my folks in Philly. Damn I am glad I live in Idaho, way too many people in that part of the world. I went over to York to tour the Harley Davidson plant, very impressive facility. Anyway, back to the Roubo build, finished up the condor tails and got the top finished up, installed the vice and made 14 dog blocks. I had a little trouble with the rails on the vice as I routed the groove a hair too deep so I had to add some shims to get it just right. Works smooth as silk. I got the leg blanks made up so next is cutting a bunch of mortises. Ended the day burning some of my scrap wood and enjoying a nice glass of Mcallan Scotch! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeset202 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Great weekend in the shop, got all the joinery done on the base, everything went smoothly, love me some mortise and tenons! Onto the leg vise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim DaddyO Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Looking great. Nice progress. I still don't have the material sourced for the base of mine. I am still mulling over whether a shorter stub tennon or the full double tennon/dovetail tennon will be used. What were your thoughts on going with the shorter tennon into the top? I just can't seem to make up my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't seem to make up my mind. Pretty much following Marc’s video instructions. You really don’t need much of a tenon when joining the base to the top given the weight of the top slabs plus it is anchored with 3/8” screws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on that is that I have never done it before and the challenge of cutting it is both intimidating and holds a lot of interest.

To caveat my statement, I wish I had planned to do it from the very beginning, and planed/cut the joint into the last slab boards and leg glue up before final assembly of the slabs. I wouldn't go back on an assembled slab and cut the rising dt. Getting the very corners of the mortise to be a sharp edge to support the tennons all the way down on those angleswould be very difficult. For me at least. Planning from the beginning and cutting/fitting the joint with the ts just requires doing it earlier in the milling stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
