The lab workbench
A Roubo-style bench built to a 32″ working height: drawbored mortise-and-tenon joinery, a leg vise and a face vise on the left for a right-handed worker.
The heart of the lab. Thick top, drawbored joints that stay tight without glue, and vises set up for real planing and sawing work.
Every joint is filmed overhead, so the build doubles as a set of plans.
