DIY Amazing Compact Workbench - Part 2: Miter Saw Shelf, Utility Shelf, Dust Collection, Boxes 

You went way over the top on those drawings. Unreal what you did for anyone who wants to build this. Free? Free? Are you serious? Free? Nobody does this any more. You have a heart my friend. Thank you once again.

Your sense of humor made me push air out of my nostrils a few times. Well done.

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

Dad jokes and real instruction? I AM IN!

Loving the build and the humour 🙂.

10:16 Fun music! :-)

Dude, you’re amazing! I’ve downloaded about 15 different plans and videos trying to figure out what to do and combine different ideas. This one takes the cake! My hats off and I would have easily paid for these plans! If I were in your area I would be buying you a beer or three! Cheers!

I like the idea of using a tent as a spray booth. Awesome design for the bench!

Great build! Thank you for sharing. Exactly what I was looking for

I’m trying to figure out how to make this project work for my table saw and miter saw. Thanks for all the great ideas.

Awesome very funny and great work Jordan.

LOL him doing the stencil and commenting "OHHHH, SO CLEAN!" , love the dry humor , make more videos please!

Just made the brackets. Rivets are awesome. Thanks again for sharing the idea.

Jordan! Not bad at all. I enjoyed the process! Semper Fi

This workbench is amazing

I'm extremely impressed. That's not easy.

I am going to add the miter saw shelf to my rolling work bench. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

great job, awesome humor. I subscribed.

I like your style of editing, it's very efficient and easy to watch without feeling bored.

Looked at the plans, they are great I bet they took ALOT of time to create, thank you.

finally made mine based off your plans! turned out great, made a few changes but thanks for the plans!

Keep the videos coming. I'm kind of a geek myself so keep the humor coming; it's appreciated.

Nice work, great video!

I like your idea, compact and efficient

SOOO MANY GREAT IDEAS!!! you just gave me like 5 solutions for my workshop and workbench. THANK YOU :)

So entertaining!

Thank you for a well detailed and well drawn plan. It is truly an amazing plan. Great job and video tutorial. Your cabinet, detailed plan, video tutorial are all amazing. I'm very impress with everything. Thank you very much and keep up the outstanding job you are doing.

Love this bench! I have been looking for ideas to make something for my shed. I am going to use this design, but change certain parts to suit my needs. Love the utility shelf. Great video series as well.

Nice video

French cleats & locator pins on interchangeable shelves is slick!

I made an April Wilkerson inspired fold down table about 40 years ago.

cool bench man! My only suggestion would be to put the rectangles for the miter saw on T-track. other than that, my favorite part is the adjustable shelf with the cleats on it.

Jordan I love this build series. I recently purchased the Rigid's Big isolating spindle sander and absolutely love it! The table in front tilts and you have the choice of different size spindles or the belt sander. It is a heavy item and it would only fit your bench if it was fixed to it or just build a table for it. You also get Rigids great warranty they have on their products They sell for about $289.00, but I bought mine when Home Depot had their black Friday sale and got it for $189.00. That is a huge saving. I kept my old Craftsman sander with the 4" disk and the 4x36" belt sander in one. I keep the belt in an upright position and use it just for metal. This is the time of the year where many of the stores have sales. Just a thought.

You had me at #10 finish washers. Subscribe.

What if you put t track on the miter shelf for your stops. Have a knob in the middle of your box to tighten. No clamps and you could probably put a measuring tape down too

To make a clean lines and stencils when painting tape stencil down and then paint it with the base coat a couple coats what that does is fill up the fine gaps in the stencil the pait the color you want and when you untape stencil or designs/line you now have a flawless job thats a painters tip

I am impressed with the number of features you were able to incorporate into this workbench. Just curious how easy to push it around. Min is much smaller with no tools on it and its heavy to move it

Great videos. I would love to see more on the utility shelves.

A LONG SQUARE....Funny!

Came for the woodworking. Stayed for the "uncomfortable gesture." (0:41)

6:06 Jodan's wall of Awesome!

Wow... love your workbench videos! Entertaining with some great ideas. Too bad I just found your channel but you got a new viewer now. Keep it up!!!

FYI to anyone making this. Its not for the faint of heart... Its time consuming, and id say easily at the intermediate wood worker phase :). I have plenty of experience with power tools, and 3d printers, lasers, etc, and less with wood working, and its been extremely fun, but challenging. My table top was not level, at all, so I ended up shimming that, which made the metal side adjustable shelf not level either... Its been a thing. However Im not working on dust collection... Im probably 15 hours in. So this isnt a short project either. Very fulfilling tho :)

WE NEED YOUR ROUTER FENCE BUILD

Keep going man. Put some links to the stuff you use in the description for the rest of us.

Love it you have a ton of the elements of the one I built years ago. That was before the internet. Just a question. My old table saw was very similar to yours. Have you ever tried a simple hard board kind of funnel shaped enclosure below the saw directed into your dust collection? You use the slick side of the hardboard. On mine I doubt the bottom sloped 15 degrees. And the sides were at a 45 vertically as they narrowed toward a 2" dust port. If I didn't turn on the dust collector 80+% of the saw dust made it to the collection hose just by gravity and slick surface. It took very little vacuum to keep it clear. I made 2 little gates (just hardboard slides) one on this 2" and the other on the 3" like the 4" you used then connected them with a 3" y. By a little fiddling with the gates to get it balanced it was almost perfect. If you did that you could use 3/4 of the upper box shape for blade and jig storage. Jig storage has always been my shop issue. I mentioned in a reply to a comment. Your French something hold downs for the adjustable shelf is awesome. I had the same idea but I made a storage unit for the main tools I had built the shop around. By using the french whatever (sorry I have never known a name for this technique) As far as I knew this type of tool storage was my own idea. I had never seen anything like it. Back to the cabinet. By playing tetrus and getting creative with placement of the tools I was able to cut the space used by at least half. I had tools going in all directions. I even had that same pocket jig hanging upside down on the cabinet ceiling. The big vise took some reinforcing but that shelf was mounted vertically to use the space at the side of the bandsaw. The bandsaw was mounted 4" off center to allow room for the vice. You get the idea. I had to treat every wasted inch as a personal tragedy. We only had a one car garage and If my wife could not park there at night Momma was not happy. Great design I really enjoy your videos

Do you have a video and/or plans for your tablesaw sled? It looks amazing.

Put holes at 1/4 inch marks and use dowls behind your stop block. This way you Can do repeat cuts in case your clamps move

This is great! Do you have the plans for the fold down assembly table?

There's just no way I'd ever put a power tool like this on a shelf like this. Everything about this is great besides that, I don't mean to be a hater, but I just can't even. :V I'm not even close to qualified to judge anything else, but I am a safety freak and this terrifies me.

Jordan, not to be greedy, but I'd love a video and or plans on how to built your table saw sled. wink wink, nudge nudge

So far I've only found the magic tent in Red, is it also available in blue or gray? 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

Great job and well done video. Is it possible to make the Sketchup file available for download? It’d save me a lot of time having to redraw it. Thanks Jordan!

"it probably took me 15 minutes to come up with the idea of a rectangle..." LOL

man oh man, I am looking forward to being miserable while trying to tackle this masterpiece

Hi. Awesome build. You seem to have very little dust coming at you on the crosscut sled. What's your secret?

Hello Mr. Frank...I was attempting to download your plans and the link seemed broken. Is there and updated way for me to get them?

Did you build the table saw sled? If so do you have plans for that? I use the same table saw.

Where can i find the brackets of part 3 awesome videos

Hey Jordan. Love the videos and am about to build this workbench. Going through I noticed in the video you said, “4 inch to 2 and 1/2 inch reducer”. However, in the plans you have listed a 4 inch to 2 and 1/4 inch reducer. Which is correct? I’m assuming the one in the plans but I’m unsure. Thanks!

How would you adjust the plans for a heavier 12” miter saw?

Where are the plans for this it’s great

Do you have info or a link to the brackets for the folding shelf?

Can I ask why you went with the brackets instead of a more traditional French cleat system for the side? I’m considering building a workbench and love the flexibility of the side shelf, but was going to go with French cleat - now I’m questioning my design. Furthermore, it seems that your tools are already stored on the wall on a French cleat… But there may be something I’m missing. Thanks for any insight!!

is you magic tent a special painting tent or just a regular beach tent for kids?

Where did you come by the brackets for the mitre saw shelf?

Where can I buy the folding brackets for the miter saw?

How heavy is your miter saw? Mine is a 12 inch hitachi coming in at 49 pounds.

When cutting on the table saw sled, isn't it dangerous to keep the right hand stop block in place like that? When the cut is complete, you have a loose piece momentarily trapped between the stop and the moving blade, and if it moves slightly into the blade it can be pinched and hurled out. I'm pretty sure I've seen Mathias Wandel explaining it once, and I've always seen other RU-vidrs use the stop block to set the length of cut but then flip it out of place, or to have a hold-down for the cut piece.

WHERE DID YOU BUY THE FLIP DOWN BRACKETS FOR MITRE SAW SHELF?????

Tell me about that tent

I found a copy of the original family Handyman article docplayer.net/28130746-do-it-all-mobile-workbench.html

Jeff Goldblum is that you?

Plans dimensions are off

"...one cord to power the whole bench." Why did a certain movie scene pop up in mind as SOON as you even started that sentence??😂🤷🏽‍♂️

It's like a fuk1ng joke! I'm watching your octopus construction while chopping a real octopus!!
