What a lovely little kid . It's really great to see a young guy take an interest in woodworking.

Wowww, if Rex K is watching and is impressed, I got to subscribed as well. Just getting into the hobby after retiring at 60yo. Inspired to see the younger gen getting into hard manual labor work!

In a world fillef with either cheaply constructed or high quality Roubo workbenches, the Roman workbench is a fresh air of choices for beginners to use

[petercoates]

I love your little pegboard thing that fits directly into the notch without wedges. Nice idea!

I'm building my second workbench along simpler lines thanks to Ethan and to Rex. So clever how well this works

[scottbrown]

Wow thanks for the lesson! I'm 69 and returning to my love of woodworking after a working forty yrs in a dairy. I learned a lot and will watch your video again as I build my own roman bench.

Great job on your bench! I like the crochet hook and the peg attachment to support the other end of the boards. Keep up the great work!

Lovely work on the bench, you are nailing it, this is woodworking, not a fancy show off piece, I love it.
Wonderful to see how you use your tools as tools.

I have a long and low bench for my cut-off (miter) saw. I've also found it is a good height for
using my worm drive "skill" saw for ripping boards and cutting sheets of plywood, as I don't own
a table saw. I've used a worm-drive saw for decades now, and feel it to be relatively safe because
of the smooth operation of the motor and blade, the heaviness which is useful to control it if it should
jump, and the fear that comes with such a loud and mean sounding saw that I am certain I won't be
absent minded when operating it.

Great bench and very nice work on your part! Keep up the content. Well done!

[GaryKlineCA]

Awesome! I've been thinking about making a low workbench as well, and it's good to get several opinions from people who are using them. Thank you for posting! As for crosscut sawing board against the two bench dogs, have you tried kneeling on the board with your right knee? This allows you to put more of your body weight on the board itself to hold it in place.

It’s been awhile and you may already have encountered this, but I’d suggest looking into “hold fasts” for work holding. I would suggest bolting boards under your existing work holding device holes and drill down further to make deeper holes. Hold fasts will grip better. Also, when sawing, have the blocks behind your piece, not in front. The sawing motion is pulling back, this pulling the piece away from your stop blocks. Get the stop. Locks behind the piece and the sawing motion will pull the piece into the stop blocks. Much kinder to the work holding hand. 🤗 love your bench. You’ve done awesome with it. Subscribed!

Since you have the peg holes in the bench top maybe a hold fast clamp for those sawing needs? Did you make the turning saw from Rex's series too? Very nice. A note on planing plywood. The fiber reinforcement between the layers & the crossing grain might be really hard on the plane blade. Mostly the resin & fiber make that an issue.
