Building Schwarz's "Herculaneum" Low Roman Workbench

I need a new workbench for greenwoodworking, and I think the low roman style bench is the perfect fit.
My last bench was a shorter one with only four legs. This time I'll be following the instructions in Christopher Schwarz's 'roman workbenches' article, eight legs and all.
I'm starting with a large board of merbau, just over 2m long, 300mm wide, and 45mm thick.
I'm going to add workholding to the bench only as needed, so expect follow-up videos whenever relevant!

Please, video 2! I built this bench and my self esteem sky rocketed I used your video as a reference, thank you so much

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

That's great! Part two was supposed to be adding workholding to the bench, but to be honest I never did apart from some dog holes and the planing stop.

@jackw9034 2 месяца назад

Really like the top surface wood, looks like mahogany, and planes nicely.

@NoOne-fe3gc 13 дней назад

15:44 flats the whole surface true, first hole splits the wood. classic

Video 2 please!

Did not want this build video to end! Excited to see more of how you will put it to use. I have this nice slab of 2 inch thick by 6 foot white oak sitting in the corner of my shop. I have seriously considered using that for my low bench, except that it’s only just over 8 inches wide. Not sure if that would provide enough work surface.

@jones_trees_and_treen 2 года назад

Thanks mate! A skinny one could definitely work if you Mostly use it for planing and sawing, occasional joinery. My advice is to make it as wide as you can comfortably straddle and no more.

@AaronTWas 2 года назад

Thanks, I’ll likely mock it up by clamping it to some chairs and see how it feels. Most joinery I do at a standing bench with a vise, but I’ve wanted a low bench for sawing and rough planing, as well as other green woodworking tasks as you have built yours. Great work again, thank you for your videos and responses to comments and questions!

That lathe is friggin' DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE show a video build!!!!!!!!!!!

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

I don't have any footage of that, but there's a story highlight about it on my Instagram @littlebear_sloyd

@Rossco242424 4 месяца назад

I have a similar style combination square, I think it's a stanley no. 21. I have no idea where I got it, and I have not seen anyone else with one before. Anyway, inspirational video, thank you for making it!

@JohnColgan. Год назад

I plan to build a variant of this. I'm disabled and 90% of the time need to be seated, so the bench is ideal. But I will put a raised platform one end and make that a portable workbench aka Pask Makes at a more suitable work height. Most of my work is small scale 16in/model/ornament size

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

That sounds like a great idea. Best wishes with it. Feel free to email me if you need any guidance.

@DesconectadoOaxaca Год назад

You can clamp a simple box onto one end to have a higher workspace if staying super simple is your goal. You could even clamp a piece of plywood with a bench vice screwed into it

@rawr2u190 Год назад

So nice

sweet, how do you deal with neighbors regarding the impacts from the mallet and sound in general? sweet lathe!

@bubbajimemmons8388 Год назад

Please do a video on the tool chest on the floor at 19:43 and 22:55 time stamps

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

What about it?

@bubbajimemmons8388 Год назад

@@jones_trees_and_treen It is a good looking tool chest in a style I normally see as a larger upright version. Looks like it has great access and storage and could go on the floor or bench or be lugged into a car seat. I bet even a simple short video will be very popular for you. Thank you.

@ferenclazar7215 Год назад

nice toolshelf in the back

@cocodij 2 года назад

I have seen this style of bench. According to you, do you think the eight legs add something compared to four ? Nice video by the way, always happy to see a new one :)

@jones_trees_and_treen 2 года назад

Yes it's significantly sturdier! Much more support for things like mortising, or what I often do which is splitting and riving logs with a froe and club.

@cocodij 2 года назад

@@jones_trees_and_treen That's interesting ! I might try it one day, but I will have to explain my wife why I built another bench :D

@scott8351 Год назад

Still using and liking your bench? Would you make any changes? I have a taller bench but thinking of adding this since I got some free slabs by luck and I like the idea of sitting for some tasks, looks good for alot of things I do standing. That was a great build.

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

Thanks! Yes I'm still married to this concept of bench. I haven't ran into anything I couldn't do. I even made a second slightly smaller one.

@ratatatat7173 Год назад

Has anyone made a shave horse setup that removable for the workbench? I need both and it would be great to not have two pieces to store

@orbitalair2103 11 месяцев назад

yes look at the 'unplugged woodworking' use of bench pt 2, near the end. he made the shave horse parts removeable.

@ronin2963 Год назад

Can you link the plans you used?

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

lostartpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/roman-workbenches-1.pdf Not exactly plans, more of a discussion and and example.

@wesleyyoung4063 2 года назад

What wood did you use?

@jones_trees_and_treen 2 года назад

Merbau for the top and spotted gum for the legs.

@awshelley 8 месяцев назад

I groaned in sympathy when the top cracked.

Some speech (English?) might be helpful. Measurement too!

@jones_trees_and_treen Год назад

All the explanations and measurements you could need are in Chris Schwarz's articles, one in particular is available free of charge as a pdf. I'm not reinventing the wheel!

@chrisbagley8104 Год назад

@@jones_trees_and_treen Thanks, I was unaware of that. Some audio would be welcome however. Apart from the sound of a saw etc!
