    I'm working on a Roubo bench, my first "major" WW project. It's going slow mostly because I don't have a lot of time to work on it, but also because a few times I've gotten "stuck". And I'm a bit...

    Derek, thanks for posting this. I wasn't an Internet woodworker that far back so I have never seen this, or heard of Steve. Sounds like he was a fun and interesting guy.

    Paul, if you look at the specs for your press it lists the spindle travel at 2". That is extremely short and limiting, as you have discovered.

    Years ago I used that stuff to stabilize some rotted window sills. I think it was called restoration epoxy or something like that. I'm certain I bought it at HD, but that was 20yr ago.

    Kees,

    I'm curious why you started out with a round bar instead of square? Perhaps you didn't have any square around? It seems it would be easier to create a square tapered section starting with...
