I picked up bench #2 in March from Dan. I had a great time putting it together. Joints are very tight, and tolerances are close. The leg vice works like a dream. This bench has lifted my woodworking several levels. I also bought 2 hold fasts which were a bit tight, but with a little use working great. Far exceeded my expectations. Could not be happier. Thank you, Dan!
Dan was telling me about these benches when I visited him this past summer. Been buying and trading tools with him for several years, He is a great man to work with. He has a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share it with you. One suggestion I would make is plane about a 1/4" chamfer on all 4 bottom corners where the bench sits on the floor. Then if you ever have to slide it on the floor it will not chip the wood out. Glad to see you purchased one of his benches. Wishing you many, many years of happy wood working on that fine piece of work. Jim Light, Goshen, Ohio
I bought bench #2 from Dan. The joints are so strong, you don't even need to drive the dowes into the hidden tenon of bench top. This is the best bench I have ever worked on by far. Its extremely stout with a 5-1/2 inch thick bench top that is perfectly oriented and flush with the undercarriage, absolutely no apron, perfect for clamping your work from the legs to the bench top. Exactly what I wanted!! Thank you Dan, you built a fantastic Roubo!!
Hey Jason, today I bought Dan's new premium workbench for riven stock. You gotta buy one!! It comes with a detachable leg assembly with two sets of legs for standing and sitting work. It comes with a Beautiful, sturdy Moxon vice, and last but not least, I bought mine before you bought yours 😂

That is a pretty good deal for 1500. I like it
We think it is an excellent value, and expect it will become a very popular bench as folks find out about it.

Fantastic! I will be calling Dan in the morning for #3 I Hope.
Also, Dan's new green woodcraft bench makes a great bench slave. 👍🏻
I recently got one of the new benches and am just starting to use it. Looks promising!

Beautiful wood. Great looking bench👍👍
Nice
Looks like a very durable bench. Easy assembly. Would like to see some of the additions to it. Would look good in my shop.
We will be posting more videos of this bench as we finish the planing stop and add bench hooks and other attachments.
Ordered mine last week with a leg vice. I am waiting by the phone for the call to come pick it up!
Did you get it?
Not yet. I ordered a leg vice also and it is taking a while to come in.@@pmacc3557
