Oh roubo, how I love you so. But that’s a giant space between the top timbers - will that be a rook well?

It will be a tool well! I was thinking on leaving the box edges 3/4" lower so I can have a removable plywood cover.

The adjustable?

Haha yeah I use it in that chair as a weight to keep the timber still while I work on it. I think they're pretty cheap these days.
