Build a Chair Makers Workbench
Build your own Chair makers workbench (mini Roubo) in three days!
Perfect for the smaller workspace or for smaller projects these two new workbench options are smaller versions of the existing Three day Roubo Workbench.
They feature the same simplified knock down construction, pine frame, leg vise and chunky beech top with gap stop as the larger benches but in a much more compact footprint.

The 75cm Chair makers workbench
Available in two sizes: 75cm by 60cm and 120cm by 60cm. The bench heights are as usual to suit the bench builder
As with the larger Three Day Roubo benches 1-2 months notice is needed to allow David to gather together the materials plus prepare the timber. However as these benches are smaller and the components easier to store in the workshop to acclimatise it should be possible to fit in two small workbench builds per month if necessary.
