Man I really enjoyed this. Im thinking I'm going to make a roubo for my little shop sooner than later and appreciate you taking the time to put this together.
As others have mentioned, your video work is as exceptional as your woodworking. I really like that you dull/mute the machine sounds in your videos. No need to hear a screaming table saw to understand what you're conveying. I also like that you're a "hybrid" woodworker, using both hand and power tools in your builds. I have a split-top roubo underway, and your build video of this project is a great help. Thank you for the great content, keep it coming!
For those that don’t have mortise chisels, using a drill bit and a series of holes to drill out the remaining pocket will leave easy work for the bench chisels (regarding the mortise you couldn’t finish with the router near the tail vise). Nice build, I’ve always been jealous of those with benchcrafted hardware and hope to have some myself one day!
Absolute TRUTH!!! I had NO IDEA what you were talking about most of this & last build video. But.. to watch you drill, cut, chisel some pretty dope & large pieces of wood it was enjoyable to watch!!! Exceptional joinery Man. Plus we're BFF's Shane so you know, I ain't going no where, LOL!! Freakin awesome workbench Bud. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out again!!! On to da next video!!!
Hi , great looking job. I am a retired English gentleman living in France, I am a specialist joiner cabinet maker, A little tip for your router purchase an extra side fence and probably longer extension rods and then you can use the two side fences to clamp your router to your piece of wood so the router slides nice and easy for using the side fences and then you can adjust the side fence rail that connects the router to centralise your router this way the router will not move once you’ve got it locked in position as the two side fences hold it tight, I hope you understand this, PHIL FROM THE MOULIN FRANCE
Hi Shane, I'm really enjoying your content. The video and sound quality is excellent and your builds turn out great. Since i'm sitting home with a broken foot, i now have a lot of time to watch your videos. Keep up the great work! Kind Regards and Happy Holidays Max
I’ve been looking for this kind of workbench for a while now. Your design seems amongst the most comprehensive. Will you be offering the plans on your site?
Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to making plans for this one, but it’s still a good step-by-step guide if you do purchase the hardware from benchcrafted and adapt that plan a bit.
Quick question I was wondering what the cutter length is of your half inch spiral up-cut router bit was ans where you were able to secure/get it. I have seen 1 inch/1.5 inch and 2 inch cutters all of which were half inch shanks Really enjoy watching your build
Many thanks for the reply/router bit.Can i assume that the 5/8 inch plunge bit is also from whiteside/if i order both dont have to pay for shipping@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
I was on the fence about the dewalt thickness planer, but now that I see how it's able to handle what you are putting it through. It's next on the list!
Beautiful workbench! I’ve been wanting to build a split top roubo for a while but keep putting it off because of the material and hardware costs. Maybe this will be the year! By the way, you’re camera work and editing look great! Did you learn from doing your UA-cam videos or do you have a background in videography?
Incredible build! Charles Schwarz would be very proud ;-) Seriously, your video production is top-notch too. some of the best out there. Really really well done
I saw on other videos people recommending to let the miter saw blade stop spinning after cut before lifting, otherwise you risk the off piece getting sucked into blade and causing a kickback. Great videos!
Yeah, on some saws the brake is slower then others. But that’s also so you don’t run back into your workpiece with the teeth of the blade. It’s a good idea either way I’m just impatient. And thanks!
Nice series of videos on the bench build. I have a jay Bates bench right now but am wanting to build a new bench from Marc's plans. I have access to cherry and walnut and was wanting to do pretty much exactly what you did. It looks great. I do plan to switch the leg vise to a inkliend vise though. Great editing and voiceover. You should get a large sub count in no time.
That's a beautiful bench, man. And no, there are never too many clamps. One question, one suggestion/request: Q: You skipped very quickly over the technique using that string crossed over your benchtop to check... level? square? something? How does that work? Maybe a follow up vid on that in detail? S/R: You're the first person I've seen use a hard wax oil on a bench, so I'd be very interested in a follow-up vid that evaluates how well that Osmo held up, and did it make the surface too slick.
Thanks man! Yeah, I’ll put together a shot or something that shows the process a little more clearly for checking the bench top for flatness. I only used a very thin coat on the whole bench but it’s not overly slick, it’s just enough to protect the surface.
Really great build. I am hoping to start a STR within the next six months. Question: You do a fair amount of ripping on the band saw vs. table saw. How come?
Glad you enjoyed it! I love using the bandsaw for ripping. I feel like it is a lot safer than the table saw since I don’t have to worry as much about the internal pressure grabbing onto the blade. And in the instance of this bench I had a few boards that were close to my final dimension so the thinner blade allowed me to conserve more material.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The spilt top allows for more clamping positions when holding workpieces in place since you can pop a clamp thought the middle of the bench. The board in the center is also a planing stop for holding smaller pieces in place. It's pretty surprising how useful the gap is once you get some time with the bench.
I did actually use some for the ledger strips. I’m thinking I might use them for some other smaller shop projects since that where they were destined to be.
I’m just in the middle of building my gap stop. Is there a reason you didn’t make slots in yours for handtools? PS, I’m about ready to release my second video on my Roubo bench build as well! Great build and video Shane!
Is there any way you could take some quick rough measurements of one of the three knobs on the Glide leg vise? That would be incredibly helpful for me.
So sorry to have to ask another question The only whiteside 5/8 up cut bit I can see also has a 5/8 inch shank which is too wide for my router collet Perhaps I am looking for the wrong 5/8 router bit on their website would you happen to know the model number that whiteside uses so I can order one
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I thought there was one that you used that was incredibly long. Is that the one? I can’t find the part now, but it was a really deep through hole.
Great question! With the pieces being so thick it’s better to take smaller passes so the blade doesn’t bite and kick the board back. A sliding miter saw works a lot better that way.
When you tap those threads, you can wax that cutter as well. Less tear out that way. You could probably have saved a lot of time on those dowels if you had a lathe. The problem with the lathe though, is that it is only about 1/4 of the cost of the 'accessories; that you would need to go along with the lathe..... I only have 6 of them....
Good question! It allows for a lot of clamping flexibility as clamps can go through the center of the bench and the plane stop helps for working with hand tools. You could also use it as a tool well and for other jigs.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Awesome! love the channel man, keep up the great work, I'm just getting set up for woodworking hopefully as a living, the tools you have..... I'm so envious lol, great set up,! great craftmanship too
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks absolutely!! if nothing else man watching you bull through it all helps remind me that I don't always have to have the ultimate shop to make stuff, just get it done right? lol great work
The jointer only allows you to flatten one face and square up one side. In order for two sides to be co-planner you have to use a planner or your workpiece won’t come out square.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Yeah as a novice, I'm just confused. How the planer can substitute for a table saw but the jointer can't at this stage. Need to re-watch/research.
It just has to do with what each tool is designed for. The planer thicknesses boards down by reflecting the downward facing side when you plane. So if there’s any discrepancy in your board face, it’s going to be reflected on the other side whenyou plane it. The jointer is designed to flatten that bottom face so your workpiece is flat. The jointer will also allow you to get a 90° angle on one edge and one face then you can take those to the planer and thickness them down knowing they’re going to be exactly 90 on that opposing edge and face as well. I hope that makes sense.
Found your channel thru this Roubo build. Love me a good Roubo build. Some day I'll have a shop big enough to fit one in. Beautiful bench Shane. 😎 I'd love to see a breakdown of the final cost, showing lumber price and Benchcrafted parts. 😉
Thank you very much! The cost was about $1200 for lumber and $1000 for the hardware. Though, some of the lumber I had in the shop for a while, so it might be a little higher than that.
The tool you called a rasp @ 7:45 looks like a file to me. Is it some alternative make of rasp with teeth that resemble a file? Also, nice job & good-looking bench. I've wanted to purchase Benchcrafted vise hardware for years but man it's expensive.
Your comment about having a nice drill press when building this hit home for me. It was a pain point in my build too. Good looking bench you built and look forward to seeing it get put to use.
Absolutely amazing bench!! I literally finished my first bench yesterday. Paul Sellers bench. Much more in my wheelhouse as far as skill required. Hopefully one day I can upgrade to a split top roubo. You got a new subscriber. Great narration and great work!!
cutting leg mortises and tenons video-time of 3:28 where you explain the 2 deep hole method then back/forth.From the image you are doing the 5/8 wide mortises and then a little bit further in your video you use the 1/2 bit to mortise the single 1 inch wide on the other face of the leg It is so kind of you to help me with this
Oh! I’m sorry so in that situation, I’m taking two passes with the 1/2” bit. My apologies for the miscommunication, all the bits I use are Whiteside bits so I just assumed that’s what it was. And it’s not a problem, I’m always happy to help.
Love this channel; makes great projects that are approachable for us mortals. Best of all, he’s not trying to sell tools in every upload. I don’t begrudge a sponsorship, but some channels are ridiculous with all the product placement and clickbait. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I like to try and showcase woodworking in a non-intimidating way so it feels less risky. I think a lot of people get overwhelmed with complexity and when you break projects down into digestible chunks it makes for a more enjoyable experience. I appreciate the support!
That's a beauty!! After building something even a little close to that, i would have a hard time with actually using it since i would want it to stay pretty. (I know, not its purpose.)
Fantastic work and craftsmanship. As for what to use the scrap wood pieces for I suggest anything but 😬 cutting boards😉. Oh and thank you for not turning those nice walnut boards into an epoxy project.
That's a mighty fine looking workbench you made there. I knew this was going to be a big bench, but seeing the finished project made me realise just how long/massive this bench really is. I said it on the previous video and I'll say it again, I really like the contrast between the cherry and walnut 👌 the buttery smoothness of the leg vice is also extremely satisfying to see.
Hey, I really appreciate it man. It definitely takes up a good chuck of real estate in the shop but I planned for that. She’s a solid tool, and I can’t wait to get some projects going on her.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks looking forward to seeing your future projects. I think the small real estate sacrifice is worth it though. Don't know about you, but I'm always a little short on finding a place to temporarily put something down and work on another piece haha
"The ultimate woodworking project" "Saw till is absolute genius" "The best tool storage cabinet" "The perfect wall cabinet" "Amazing Japanese bench" "Stunning bar stools" I'm sorry, but I can't get past the hyperbole.

Try adding some sawdust to your glue up to stop them from sliding
I’m not a big fan of that trick. I find that a little slide back and forth between the workpieces works just as well.
That is a awesome looking bench thank you for sharing
Thanks! And thank you for watching!

Your collection of parallel clamps alone is worth more than my entire shop.
Now’s the time to get em. Black Friday sales are where it’s at.
Is there any way you could take some quick rough measurements of one of the three knobs on the Glide leg vise? That would be incredibly helpful for me.

53/64” OD at taper start
Hope that helps

Thanks!! It's made by Fisch, here's the link: amzn.to/3WHXkYN
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Added to my Amazon wishlist!
Nice!
Fabulous bench. Are the plans available?
Thanks! Not yet, I’m still working on that.
You can never have too many clamps...
Ain’t that the truth.
So sorry to have to ask another question
The only whiteside 5/8 up cut bit I can see also has a 5/8 inch shank which is too wide for my router collet
Perhaps I am looking for the wrong 5/8 router bit on their website would you happen to know the model number that whiteside uses so I can order one
No worries, I am a bit lost though. Sorry it’s been a while since I did this build. What time is the 5/8” bit reference?
What is the main way you learned all these woodworking skills?
I’m self taught, so reading books and forums, New Yankee Workshop, and trial and error.
Great bench!! Do you mind sharing what long drill bit size you used?
Thank you! If you’re referring to the bit for the dog holes, it was 3/4”.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I thought there was one that you used that was incredibly long. Is that the one? I can’t find the part now, but it was a really deep through hole.

What constitutes a better drill press?
For this project it would be one with a longer stroke. But a floor model would also give more stability then balancing everything on the bench.
12 full days of how hours a day, 8?
Between 7-8 hours a day
2:07 question given you used the planer in place of a table saw could you have stayed at the used the jointer?

Fantastic work and craftsmanship. As for what to use the scrap wood pieces for I suggest anything but 😬 cutting boards😉. Oh and thank you for not turning those nice walnut boards into an epoxy project.
🤣😂🤣 thank you! No epoxy projects here, though I did do a cutting board a few years back. 😬 So don’t worry, that’s been crossed off the list.
That is so freaking awesome
Thanks man!
That's a mighty fine looking workbench you made there.
I knew this was going to be a big bench, but seeing the finished project made me realise just how long/massive this bench really is.
I said it on the previous video and I'll say it again, I really like the contrast between the cherry and walnut 👌 the buttery smoothness of the leg vice is also extremely satisfying to see.
Hey, I really appreciate it man. It definitely takes up a good chuck of real estate in the shop but I planned for that. She’s a solid tool, and I can’t wait to get some projects going on her.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks looking forward to seeing your future projects.
I think the small real estate sacrifice is worth it though. Don't know about you, but I'm always a little short on finding a place to temporarily put something down and work on another piece haha
Yes! Horizontal surfaces are a huge commodity in the shop.

I'm sorry, but I can't get past the hyperbole. No matter how good your content is you go on my "do not recommend" list because of this silly overblown nonsense.
Cool, sorry you feel that way.
