The Roubo-Style Woodworking Workbench plans include a 17-page detailed PDF document including a detailed cutlist and a SketchUp file. If you have any questions during the build, you can email me and I’ll do my best to help.

What materials do I need to build this Roubo-Style Woodworking Workbench?

For this Roubo-Style Woodworking Workbench build, I used eight 12 foot long 2x10s from my local home center. The cost of the wood on this build was roughly $100, at least in my area. With the vise hardware and finishing supplies added, the total cost is roughly $500. This is still much, much cheaper than purchasing a workbench like this.

What are the dimensions of the Roubo-Style Woodworking Workbench?

This workbench is what I consider the perfect size, and was designed to manage most furniture builds as well as smaller builds. The top is 72 inches by 25 inches and the total height of the workbench is 33”. This sizing is totally adjustable though, and, with the included SketchUp file, you’ll be able to adjust the workbench to suit your needs.
