I make a great mobile workbench using Oak boards and Ash posts that have been drying for four years. My design is loosely based on the roubo style (split top) workbench and will have castor wheels, making it mobile. In Part 1, most of the work is focused on selecting the wood, dressing the wood using my DeWalt thickness planer and Delta Jointer; and, cutting the dado and rabbet joints in the legs. Part 2 coming soon!
