In this video, I build a workbench in my garage. I moved into this house a few months ago and trying to do any project without knowing where my tools are has been annoying and a waste of time. I want to customize it with drawers and add shelves to the top of the wall but I'm not 100% set on the layout. For now, I took some scrap wood from my old house, made a spot for my new miter saw, and finally got organized.

With the cost of lumber and hardware, ( looked like he used an excessive amount of screws) I bet this bench cost much more than the miter saw that sets on it.

One of the best free things that someone can do to support a RU-vidr in the RU-vid algorithm click-through rate (CTR) is by clicking and playing the video, all the way through, the very first time you see any of their video thumbnails. Don't save it for later, play it through right away, and if you don't have time to actually watch it right then and there, save it to the watch it later playlist, and then go back and watch it again.

Really enjoyed this! It reminds me of watching my dad work in the garage when I was a kid. He had it all organised in a ‘60’s era way. Screws, nails, hinges etc were in jars attached to the underside of his shelves. He made his own bench with a shelf underneath. It had all sorts of boxes with his tools and old light switches, telephone parts, door handles etc. I was an inquisitive girl and ended up being an okay handywoman! Tnks for your great content.👍🏼🇦🇺

Hey Matt, I have a great idea for you! Since I know how much you love spray foam, you can use spray foam to insulate behind the pegboard walls. Just pop the tip into each hole and start spraying!!!!!!

My garage is covered in pegboard. I would not have put it there but wow, after having lived with it for 14 years, there is NO way I'd rip it out and put up drywall. It holds SO SO SO many tools. All easy to see, easy to reach. In a few places I screwed strong magnetic bars onto the pegboard to hold tools more compactly. There are some old upper cabinets on the wall also, all with no doors. In places I wanted to store items not on pegboard hooks, I just screwed boards onto the wall and used nails and other holders to store shovels, racks, hoes etc. Pegboard here has turned out to be incredibly useful! I might have a different opinion if it was the stuff with the smaller rather than the larger holes. These hooks are stout and have no problem holding more than one hammer or F style clamp. It is easy to rearrange the tools countless times. I leave no odd holes in the wall and I only have to touch the exact items I wish to reposition. The magnetic bars are where I put screw drivers and small pliers on edge, allen wrenches, cold chisels, nail sets, paint can openers. There is one workbench with doors and drawers and some plastic drawers on shelves but the vast majority of tools are all within view and reach and I love it. I have benches on both sides of my saw and learned fast that, no I can't mount a vise on that left bench, no I can't put something tall by the end, no I can't have permanent storage ON the bench that comes forward more than the fence on my saw, etc etc. Your floor looks much like most garage floors, it only has to hold stuff. Garage work spaces only NEED to be functional and are one area of a home where aesthetics seem much less important than function! Can't imagine where your comment about IF you have to spend thousands and rip it out came from. Looks perfectly normal from here!

@bobdriggers6111 3 дня назад

Great video The number one thing I would recommend is your saw setup. Add one more stud centered underneath the table and then, instead of screws, use nuts and bolts. That will give less vibration and lead to better cuts with less tearout.

@zxborg9681 6 дней назад

I had a 30 inch workbench a while back, and it was really awkward to reach for tools hanging on the wall behind it, so I cut it down to 24. But your bench looks great, really solid, and it's great to have loads of surface area!

@darkfactory8082 4 дня назад

Since temporary becomes permanent, you did the right thing and built a very nice workbench. I would consider putting on top a layer of formica or something similar, just to avoid grease and oil to be sucked in, if you place some piece of machiney on it. It's easier to clean too. =) Cheers.

If you store the shop vac right next to the saw, you can cut a hole to pass the hose up to the back of the saw and the power cord up to the outlet.

That's a nice solid workbench. I went through the same thing when moving into my house a few years ago. Garage was a huge mess until I installed the old kitchen cabinets and countertops. When you said you got a new miter saw and were building a workbench around it, I was sure it would be a Bosch axial glide. Those save you a good 12 inches of depth from not having those rails sticking out from the back.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 6 дней назад

I didn’t do a ton of research on saw options… I just passed by this one so many times at Home Depot that I had it in my head “I’m gonna get that saw one day” kinda like Wayne in Wayne’s world with the guitar. 🤣

I left a hole under the back of my slide miter saw so most of the sawdust falls into a trash barrel. I have tried different ways to collect the dust, but the dust collector hose interferes with cutting. I think the best solution is to create a box to direct the sawdust into the barrel.

Awesome build!!! I like your style and your work process. You remind me of myself during my years as a carpenter/ builder. One thing I noticed right away was your use of proper terminology regarding plumb and level. Often I watch DIYers who regard any use of a level as all things vertical and horizontal is referred to as level. It's as if the word Plumb did not exist. I worked in the building trades for 8 years building apartment buildings and many other types. In addition I worked in an Architect's office for 21 years. So I know quality tradesmen when I see it.

Kick Ass Work Bench. Golly, you sure have a lot of "guy tool stuff"! You could have made a whole other video just showing how and why you organized it the way you did. I love a good organization video. Hope you're putting shelves across the back wall to get some stuff up/off the bench for more work surface. Let the projects begin! The area above the garage, as awesome and huge as it is, I would think putting a work shop up there wouldn't be that practical. I wouldn't want to carry materials, supplies, projects up and down the stairs and always needing someone to assist, Having it in the garage, ground level makes so much more sense; better than in the basement. Nicely done!

The only 3 differences. 1. I used an existing wood plank top. 2. No concrete foundation. 3. Skil, not a Dewalt. Was so strange seeing you building it so similarly.

@95dodgev10 6 дней назад

Drywall is much cheaper but you might consider doing plywood walls. You could do a nice plywood and seal it with poly or something, or do a cheapish plywood and paint it. Plywood is way more durable, can handle a bit of water splash, you can hang anything anywhere, you can unscrew it and change or add electrical or whatever, and you don't need to tape and mud the seams. Idk how this plays into fire code since drywall offers some protection whereas plywood certainly doesn't. But it's much more utilitarian. I wouldn't use osb though even though it's cheaper you'll obviously have a rougher finish that will cling onto dust and whatnot.

@lindaroyal8161 6 дней назад

I was thinking T-1-11, don't know the cost comparison, but it's strong and can handle a lot more than dry wall.

@95dodgev10 6 дней назад

@@lindaroyal8161 not as much holding power with that stuff. It's 3/8 thick which is OK but 1/2 or even 3/4 plywood would hold anything he's ever going to want to hang up with proper hooks to do so. He can do a french cleat system for storage bins and tools, he can get some large heavy duty metal hooks for thing like bikes or gardening related things. Options are great just just a cheap option these days. If/when I finish out my pole barn I want to run 3/4 ply atleast on the bottom 8ft, the other 6ft of height could be a different cheaper material since I'll likely never hang anything that high.
