Who is André Jacob Roubo?
André Jacob Roubo was a French cabinetmaker and author. The son and grandson of master cabinetmakers, he earned that designation in 1774 through the publication of his masterwork treatise on woodworking.
He wrote a highly influential complete treatise on woodworking that covers practically all the associated trades. This multi-volume work, L'Art du Menuisier, published between 1769 and 1774 by the Académie des Sciences, contains sections and illustrations on: building carpentry, furniture making, and precious woodworking, carriage making, and garden woodworking.
Ruobo's design for a workbench has proven to be popular amongst some modern woodworkers.
