In the 18th century it was common for the workrooms and living areas of a home to share the same space. A workbench, for example, would not be out of place in the front room of the house. Even if you don't intend to claim some space in your main living space as a bench room, this workbench has a lot to offer.
The Roubo workbench, one of the best-looking workbench designs, is also the simplest to build and most useful, no matter if you have a love affair with your plunge router or your router plane.
