About this ebook
The workbench is a traditional woodworker’s most important tool. Changing the workbench can be quite a daunting task. Join Ron Aylor as he trades his tall workbench for a mini-Roman workbench, all while building a 17th-century style carved box.
Ron Aylor
Ron Aylor, a resident of Lilburn, Georgia, is an unplugged woodworker. Without electricity and using traditional edged tools, he specializes in 17th-century mannerist carving and Colonial American furniture. The bulk of his work is of 17th-century style joined stools, carved boxes, tables, and bookstands. This work follows techniques and methods from the period. Ash, cherry, pine, poplar, maple, and walnut are his timber of choice.

I would like to, first and foremost, thank Connie, my bride, my best friend, my editor, and my number one cheerleader. Without her, none of this would have been possible. Secondly, I would like to thank David Walton for the inspiration to build a Roman workbench. Thirdly, thanks go out to Peter Follansbee for inspiring me to start 17th-century mannerist carving in the first place. Lastly, thank you to all of the followers of my website, on Facebook, and on Instagram for
