A Roubo workbench is a type of woodworking bench that is inspired by the designs of 18th-century French furniture maker André Jacob Roubo. It is known for its sturdiness and functionality, making it a popular choice among woodworkers. The Roubo workbench typically features a thick wooden top, often made from hard maple or beech, which provides a flat and stable surface for various woodworking tasks. It also has a solid base with strong legs and stretchers to ensure stability. The design often includes vises or clamps that can hold the workpiece securely in place while the woodworker carries out their tasks.
