Welcome to my Amazing Compact Mobile Workbench build!
This video is right up your alley if
1. You are a woodworker with limited space
2. You need a one-stop-shop for your main power tools that can be setup and broken down easily
3. You don't care about woodworking but enjoy watching dorky guys try to explain things
This mobile bench holds your table saw, miter saw, router and more yet is only 26" deep (roughly the width of your standard compact table saw). It has a lot of handy features including fairly-well-thought-out dust collection, sliding doors, a very useful adjustable utility shelf and an extension wing for your table saw. Best of all you can use the free plans to modify it and make it work for you!
I sincerely hope you get something out of this build; it's been a great bench for me and I'm really happy with it.

Rarely does this happen, but the RU-vid algorithm has clearly failed. Given my history, I can't believe that it took 2 YEARS for RU-vid to suggest this for me. This is absolutely PERFECT for what I need. Bigger than a microshop, but not as big as a cabinet saw, and I can still park the car in there. Thank you!!

@withJordanFrank 2 года назад

Down with the algorithm! :). Glad you found it, may it bring you more joy than it does tears. just kidding, it's not That hard to build. Just check your measurements as you go and in no time at all you've have a little Octopus to call your own.

@pauldevlin84 4 года назад

Hi Jordan, stumbled across this video. Great work. I’m trying to work out of a single car garage myself so space is at a premium and I think I will definitely have to try this out. I tend to use the out feed side of my table saw cart as an assembly table (and use it a lot more than my workbench) so making it all bigger and getting rid of my workbench might free up much needed space. Love your modesty and humour too👍

@Freddy_K_TV 4 года назад

I have a large 4x5ish cart right now, but I've been looking to downsize to something a bit more functional for my space, this might be what I'm looking for. Love the design!

I have to say based on the editing, production quality, build, humor and even free plans (they're not terrible) you are awesome and TBH I thought I was watching videos from a large full time RU-vid woodworking channel. I've watched all four videos twice as I am in the process of rebuilding my bench in a similar manner. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to your next build!

@Not_TVs_Frank 4 года назад

Came from Shop Nation and was not disappointed! The adjustable utility shelf is what really got me excited. I have wanted a modular-ish system to simplify using various tools on my bench. Clamping down a Kreg jig isn't that fun or reliable. A utility "side-car" like this makes it possible with many other tools as well. I'll be finding a way to do this. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you! Travis @ Shop Nation put a big shout out to a few great resources, you were one of them. Thanks for using "regular" tools and nothing super crazy or expensive. I've built a whole store 2k sqft shelving (125 sheets 4x8 white birch) and now find myself needing a "temp" set up since we have 2 cars that live in my shop too, normally, here in winterland Wisconsin.

@daveknott4563 4 года назад

@@withJordanFrank Looking forward to it! I keep dreaming of 2x4' sections all on castors that can go against the walls, with various flip up/downs such as planers, or other items. Though not much for the woodworkers as an all around husband/home owner I need to get a multi-vice for holding and pounding some serious metal or the like. I will watch for more of your videos. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this, and also sharing your plans. I need to get onto doing more sketchups vs straight paper and pencil. That way I can share with others, and also have more cut sheets for time savings. keep it up!

Thanks David, it is a real honor to me that people have actually built this thing. I appreciate you letting me know, and please reach out if there's anything I can clarify or whatnot (I definitely forgot the step where you attach the wheels - so when you notice some wheels on it in the plans you just go ahead and put those bad boys on)

On my RU-vid rabbit warren on work benches at 2 am in the morning I stumbled on this series. Firstly, well done sir, you brought a smile to my face with your humor. More importantly with your plans and ideas I now have new project to take up the next few weeks of my life :). Thanks Jordan for putting the videos and plans out there.

Very kind of you Rob. I'll be literally nodding off at my computer trying to do work or edit or something, and then it's "okay, better go to bed", and then it's "Wait, Four Eyes just put out a new video, I should watch this" and then it's "Oh my god, I just watched RU-vid for two hours and now it's 3am and the morning is going to suck, but also that fourth video gave me a good idea, so...".

@malcommc 2 года назад

Jordan, I built this last summer and have gotten so much use out of it. It is used in just about every project of mine. I have received so many compliments about it. I did make some changes by adding a black formica top and several drawers. I haven't given it a name or a logo, but since it's mostly a much darker version of yours, maybe "Evil Twin?" Seriously, thank you for such amazingly detailed instructions!

@maxyoutube904 3 года назад

Thanks for this awesome idea! I am brand new, and this is my first build, and it's been a lot of fun. I thought I'd enter the race for "dumbest mistake ever" so... I just finished basic construction and went to put my saw in it's place. It seemed too big. Then I realized I have the 7491. That was a whole lot of effort to end up in this spot, but I learned a ton along the way! Just wanted to share my little mishap in case you get a kick out of it like my wife did! Thanks agin!

@withJordanFrank 3 года назад

Oh Max, that's both hilarious and also hilarious. We've all been there, and that is definitely not the dumbest mistake ever. But it is pretty dumb. Welcome to woodworking. :). Seriously though, were you able to adjust to get it to work?

@withJordanFrank 2 года назад

That's all you can do my friend... little bits at a time. That's advice that floats around and I think is solid: buy the tool you need for the project at hand, and then slowly your shop will grow as your skills develop. No need to rush out and get crazy. A bench like this you can totally do in parts; the basic setup is not too difficult, then you can add shelves, doors, router spot, etc down the road as needed.
