My friend Mark Hicks has been very busy building me a bench for my booth at WIA, he has been chronicling the build on Instagram and Twitter both handles are @markbuildsit. The split top Roubo is a great bench for shows as it can be broken down easily for transport. Its inspired by older design that Jameel at Benchcrafted made a few years ago. There are some custom aspects that make it my own, and the Leg vise chop and sliding deadman are left to finish by the enduser.
I can’t wait to get this bench; it’s truly first class craftsmanship. While this unit is already sold to me, there is another unit that Mark is building for sale that will be in his booth.
Check out Mark’s benches here, and other furniture work here.
