Workbench
Cillian is doing woodwork in his Kindergarten and requested a Workbench for his 6th birthday. There was a proposal to buy one, but I thought that we could do better in building a proper one together. Time will tell the wisdom of this :)
Design
Stumbled on Roubo workbench projects from Christopher Schwarz, based on designs of André_Jacob_Roubo. I will try and implement some version of this.
- 5“ thick legs 2)
- 3½ thick top
- Recomended height - where your knuckles rub on surface (for me that is ~72cm) this allows you get your body mass over the part
- “Dog holes” along length of bench to clamp boards on surface with some type of end clamp
- “holdfast” iron clamp - bang down to hold, bang sideways to open.
- 3/4” dog holes (19mm)

3/4”(19mm) hole - Veritas Wonderdogs 110mm (Brass - wire spring to hold in place) (wonderpup 60mm if bench is thinner than 2“ - mine is bigger ⇒ wonderdog) Dog should be thicker than bench so you can push it up from below the bench
Need a hole all the way through the bench (else can use spring loaded “prairie dog”)
