7 Day Workbench Class - SOLID TOP

The workbench is the heart of your shop. In this class you'll build the workbench of your dreams and the last one you'll ever need (unless you decide you want more than one). Over the course of 7 days, with the help of some heavy duty machines and basic hand tool techniques, you'll build Plate 11 Solid-Top Roubo with a Dovetailed End Cap and Benchcrafted hardware. Though we don't typically have time to make standard accesories like The Sliding Deadman, Gap Stop or Shelf, we will build the bench in such a way that ensures they can be added later with no additional work to the bench.

This is a physically demanding class, but the effort will be well worth it. Here's what you'll learn:

- Preparing boards to create large laminations

- Hand and power tool methods for cutting large scale dovetails

- Drawbored mortise and tenon joinery
