Thanks for considering my bench for your monthly feature. As for a few more details, the benchtop itself is made of white oak and measures 57 1/2"x18 1/2"x3 1/4". The bench itself is 35" high. I used poplar for the legs and cedar for the bottom shelf and stretchers. For the chop I used quarter sawn white oak and it measures 32"x8"x2". For the finish I used a mixture of one part boiled linseed oil, one part mineral spirits, and one part cherry stain. And I applied two coats. I can only guess at the weight, but I would estimate somewhere around 250 lbs. or more with the two vises.
I'm somewhat new to woodworking and probably like a lot of your customers, I was inspired by Christopher Schwarz's article in Popular Woodworking on the Roubo bench. If you are interested I documented the whole process on my blog at http://brokenriverjoinery.wordpress.com/category/roubo-workbench/ There's some nice shots of the chop and leg vise there.
Thanks again, and the leg vise kit is lovely piece of craftsmanship.
