Using my Roubo workbench

I've used the workbench for a number of projects/tasks so far and it's an amazing two-thumbs-up! What a great bench. Planing on it is a dream. It holds well and never shakes or shudders. I showed my wife a holdfast in operation and she was wowed... (put a metal rod in a hole and it clamps something when you tap it with a hammer?).

Today I did a glue-up on it. It's really the only large flat surface I have so I put a large sheet of cardboard on top and use it for glueups. However, I hadn't done a few of the tenons right (as usual) and had to stand on the workbench and beat on the table to get it to seat. No problem. At one point I picked up the table and slammed it on the workbench to seat/straighten it. No problem. What a bench!
