Child-size Roubo Workbench Complete!

Base Frame complete.

Leg Mortise & Tenons done.

Done!  (just needs poly)

2 coats of Water-based Polycrylic + Paste Wax

I think this took 2 weeks total.  Not too shabby for me.  I usually take a lot longer to make stuff, but Christmas is fast approaching.

The leg joint is really tricky to mark.  Wow.  What a pain :P  Took me a couple days to get the four legs fitted into their mortises and I was really surprised they fit as snugly as they do.  I expected more gaps.

I'm not sure if I'm going to add a vise.  Maybe I'll put a planing stop on one end.  Carolyn didn't care for the idea of drilling holes for pretend holdfasts.  But this'll do as a:

• multi-functional
• toddler-sized workbench
• drawing, Play-Dough, LEGO, arts & crafts, general activity table
• a standard, adult-size bench that can be repurposed for general use after my two sons get tall
