This is a follow up to the previous RFC on a roubo style wood bench.
I’ve drawn up the plans, and done the pricing at the local borg store for lumber and vises. I’ll be attaching the plans in the next post. Total is going to be $750, which allows for some fudge factor for when something goes wrong.
Lumber total is $300
Workbench Lumber List
Bench Top Laminant - qty 17 2x10 - 8’ (ripped in half) $10 per = $170
Legs - qty 4 2x6 - 8’ cut in half $5 per = $20

Eclipse quick release 10" bench vise - $160

Also to be very clear, the total requested is $750 for lumber and hardware. I think that got lost a bit in the original post. I hope to get under that, but you never know.
This is the request for a budget to build a woodworking bench for the woodshop. Bumping this since there seemed to be some people who had missed it before the meeting.
