My guess would be that he slipped out of the sweater, got the camera, then slipped back in, and snapped one for demonstrative effect.
Another good reminder to use your guard and watch your sleeves and shirt tails…

Things already build and crossed off the list are:
A sofa that was detachable at the center in order to make it onto a NYC elevator.
A Cajon drum/side table
A 5’ diameter ceiling light fixture with 4-60watt bulbs
Wedding centerpieces out of painted Holly branches with an entry piece of a hollow log self standing shelf system
An Ipe Ofuro style Bathtub

Things still on the to-do list:
A new harp, requested by my harpist sister
A rocket ship for fighting aliens, request of my nephew.

More requests to come I am sure.

Great furniture quality I like to see in a box. Good attention to detail such as reveals, hinge design and grain direction, and varied dovetail sizes.

Time to put that new Roubo Workbench to work! I am thinking of building one for myself. I would appreciate it if you would answer a few questions about it. I watched the video series. Great job btw. Roubo is making a splash.

1) There is no end cap. How do you then prevent cupping? What is the thought behind not having one; extra beefy top perhaps?
2) The top is bolted down with 2 at each end opposed to just one. Won’t that cause an expansion problem? One to hold is down sure, but two seems likely to put the top in a pinch.

I am worried about building it in the dry winter only to have to flatten it when humidity rises. My main shop is not climate controlled.

What a beautiful bench and great design. This is defiantly the next bench I am going to build. I can guess what the wood materials costs are but can you give a ballpark as to how much the hardware costs? I don’t want to filch any secretes, but an answer would help me fit it into next years budget. I’m sure others in the FWW community would appreciate it as well.

And the winner is....

looks like fun! I think ill try the long faced version on some scrap later.
