In this video, I will be making a multipurpose workbench from 2 by 4 and plywood.
All my woodworking plans gumroad.com/diycreators
Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. I keep two toolboxes underneath for my most used tools. Being able to hang drills and measuring tapes on the side is very handy. My favorite part is being able to store tools I want in the shop, but do not want to build a workbench for. The T-Track on the side works great for holding materials. This workbench is made from 3/4in plywood and 2by4. Get the plans here gum.co/gfKwe

Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. It's simple, but really makes an impact. I have plans if you would like to build to the spec I have. gumroad.com/diycreators Thanks for tuning in!

@wdubduece8913 4 года назад

For a future project, could you build a collapsable work bench? I don't have a ton of space in my garage but still need a good sized workbench

Finally a sturdy and easy DIY bench that DOESNT require a planer. Too many of these "Beginner" diy workbenches the first step is planing all your 2x4's to have perfect edges. You did a great job and made a great bench for those of us who only have a circular saw and drills.

Thought you should know, I watched several videos to determine what my workbench will be like and yours is the closest to what I built. Watching it over again and having it in use for a couple weeks I realize how important 'accessories' are and will begin that this weekend. Very much appreciated and I love watching your videos.

@kelpf0rest Год назад

This is by far the most thoughtful instructional video I've seen on building a work bench! From the "Where I'm At" window, to filing down the corners of the aluminum track, to reinforcing the end grain on the legs for the casters... you can absolutely tell this guy KNOWS his craft. This was super helpful and I can't wait to adapt this to my garage!

@fobbitoperator3620 3 года назад

This bench is right at my skill level to make. I love that jig you used to drill the angled holes for your joints. That bench looks quite strong, & doesn't appear to "jiggle/wobble" around when leaning into work with some stout elbow grease. Thanks for sharing this creation!

When the "Where I'm At" graphic first popped up I kind of chuckled, but even on a build this quick and easy it really made understanding what was happening better. Great job!

One thing I did learn is that depending on the width of my hand held drill, I may want to hold off on installing the middle 2x4's so that I have enough elbow / drill room to drill in the legs and side brackets.

Thanks for a great workbench idea. I should have written this a few months ago. Since I first saw this video, I have built one for my garage/shop, and three for my sister-in-law. I am starting another one today. These workbenches are solid, strong, and give me all kinds of options for using it as a workbench, or a place to store water bottles, and gas cans. The fact that it is on casters is also a BIG plus! Being able to roll it around the shop, or combine with my other workbench for a big project, makes this workbench very versatile. I even used your concept and built a 'heavy' outdoor 'heated' habitat for our community cats. The pocket hole jig that you introduced in the video sure makes a strong and solid structure. Thanks again for your creation. I would recommend anyone interested in building a solid workbench, to give your idea a try. They will not be disappointed!
