Make an 18th Century Roubo Book Stand

with Daryl Rosenblatt

$600

$575 tuition + $25 material fee

About this Workshop

Andre Roubo designed and built more than his famous workbench. In this two-day class, students will use mostly hand tools to build, out of one piece of wood, a folding bookstand complete with hinges. Participants will start with a smaller cell phone stand, then go to a larger piece of wood capable of holding a full-size book, perfect in the kitchen for recipes. If time permits, bring along a small, beautiful piece of hardwood to make that special gift for someone who still loves physical books (although the stand will also hold a tablet).

Key Points

  • Build a traditional Roubo-style folding bookstand
  • Learn hand tool techniques for shaping and joinery
  • Create functional hinges from a single piece of wood
  • Build both a cell phone stand and a full-size bookstand
  • Apply the techniques to future bookstands and other projects
