I&#8217;m always searching for some new ways of presenting the work that I do. I&#8217;m just never happy with the photos that I make, almost. One day, going through a bunch of fantastic Instagram photos of different cabinetmakers, I realized that they are fabulous even when they showed WIP. Still a process, but such a beautiful one. And I thought &#8211; what do I have? Just a green cutting mat, a lamp, that&#8217;s it. Even my beautiful ginger cat would never fit in. :))) Nothing cute really. And I&#8217;m a fan of cute things! :))) <\/p>\n<p>After all, I thought, why not a workbench? It would look like a real workshop. I knew nothing about workbenches, so I bought one of Christopher Schwartz books. And it was quite exciting reading! <\/p>\n<p>I was so impressed that I decided to make a Roubo workbench, well, its modern version. You can find a lot of drawings on Internet, so I didn&#8217;t waste my time and picked one. <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin! I start with a top (we have two parts). You can see dovetail joinery on the sides of it. I used steamed pear wood for the contrast. <\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/23972003184\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Roubo workbench in 1\/12 scale - WIP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1686\/23972003184_e71c21c059_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"308\" alt=\"Roubo workbench in 1\/12 scale - WIP\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/24600142135\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Roubo workbench in 1\/12 scale - WIP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1495\/24600142135_cc5615f8b0_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"404\" alt=\"Roubo workbench in 1\/12 scale - WIP\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On the photo above you can see the dowels, and while gluing you should leave a space for the legs.
