To be clear, the walnut will work fine for the base. Better than fine. Ash would be optimizing, but it is guilding the lily and any hardwood is going to do the job. Similar for the top - if i had a stash of stock that I wasn't going to use for anything else, I'd use it there. If I were starting from scratch and deciding what the buy, I'd do something like the ash/maple combo.

For a Roubo, I'd do ash for the legs for strength and flexibility, and maple for the top for hardness.

Makes me think of @Hopstretch

Sorry for the NY Post link, but apparently suicide: https://nypost.com/2022/12/14/stephen-twitch-boss-cause-of-death-revealed-following-autopsy/

Doing a lot of hand tool work, particularly planing down boards, will put a lot of side to side pressure on a bench. The advantage of the Roubo design is that the legs through the top helps prevent racking. I have a Sjoberg that is poorly designed in that regard, that needs to be re tightened regularly, and that is probably going to fail soon. But if you aren't hand planing, then it is not really a big deal.

I think the Tritons might have that feature. I've not used one so I don't know how well it works.

Can't speak to either of those, but I would look for one with built in micro adjustment. And perhaps for something even smaller (1.5HP) since weight is a factor.

At least I'm consistent 😀

@TorpedoI should be more specific that I was listening to the abridged version.

Also, screws with some sort of hex head rather than Philips.

Happy birthday!

I have one of these. It's been fine, though quiet is relative. Quiet compared to other air compressors.

Probably about 70lbs

Tapped holes with machine screws would also work.
