The Benchcrafted brothers have officially opened registration for the French Oak Roubo Project II, which will be held Nov. 8-14, 2015 (that’s next November).
If that’s all you need to hear, click on over to the Benchcrafted site here and register.
The seven-day event costs $4,800 – that includes the incredible ancient wood, the blacksmith-made hardware, access to the world-class machinery of Bo Childs, lunch each day and all the assistance you need to build the bench. While I know there are those who will scoff at the price, I dare them to offer this sort of class themselves. The Benchcrafted folks (and the assistants) do this because it’s fun – not to make money.
I’ll be there (building a bench for a customer) and helping out all week. I can’t wait.

I am already signed up and have been selected. Glad I read your post today though, somehow I did not catch the fact that the class is in 2015. I was thinking it would be in a couple of months. I guess I need to pay more attention. I think it is going to be a blast.
The participants will probably need the time to workout – those slabs look massive.

psst…anyone wanna buy a kidney?
Is it one of yours? Because I know how those have been abused.
As a old friend told me, beer drinkers do not get kidney stones !
I have had them and they are no fun.
Yeah, but I’m Irish. We are equipped with special kidneys to handle the abuse (and we come equipped with a lot of blarney).
This will be a terrific project, Chris! I am sorry I will be unable to make it.
Whatever that lucky customer is paying you, it is not enough.
Oh, to be 30 years younger to get the use that the bench deserves !
Ditto! Our age sometimes has its disadvantages.
For those who have signed up….Welcome to the loooooong wait and anticipation prior to the event! I only had about 4 months or so to wait and it was pure agony. But the wait was worth it!
This has got to be some kind of record!
where is the class site?
