Split top Roubo woodworkers bench I am getting close to finishing. It is based on the design of a 1700's French woodworker and carpenter design. Benchdogs ordered yesterday and next up will be the cabinet for chisels and other smaller woodworking tools that will rest on the bottom rails. The top is a 7' piece of a 21' long hard rock maple shuffle board table is was given and the legs and base are from some 80+ year old 23' x 13" x 3' rough fir beams taken out of the same church the shuffle board came from. There than the vice hardware, the only thing bought for the bench so far is the one cherry board I laminated up for the outer jaw face on the end vice. The rest is all reclaimed wood anywhere from 50 to 100 years old. I have enough material to build two more and I will sell them when they are done.
No the Victor 500 was a "thumper", or single cylinder (upsized 441), and there was a Trophy 250 single. The Daytona was a 500cc twin, little brother to the Bonneville 650.
Just added the two on top to my growing SAA collection.
Beretta (Uberti made) Stampede, smoked nickel, 7.5" 45LC,
Uberti Cattlemen, case hardened, blued with brass frame, 5.5" 45LC,
Ruger Vequero, bright stainless, 4.75" 45LC.
I just need some rigs now!
