All,
With lots of help from lots of folks here I completed my Roubo-Holz bench with the benchcrafted vice. For the past year I have benefited from the questions and answers on workbenches posted by many folks here. So far, the bench has been a real joy to use. Lots of lessons learned in this project. For me is was quite a journey. The bench ended up at 7 ft 6 inches in length. The top is 4 inches thick. Thanks for looking.
Regards and thanks,
John
