Modular Workbench & Mobile Tool Stand Build (Ep.1) 

Modular Workbech Plans: bit.ly/2V1VzaS

The irony of using a workbench to build a workbench. 😄 Nicely done!

This modular design has a lot of practical use in ways not considered. My wife is a habitual sewer, and between her need for storage, a place for cutting cloth, ironing as she goes etc, these boxes would be ideal. Work heights would need to be adjusted of course, but there is a real need... and of course when spending $ on themselves, spending money on cabinetry like this is a no brainer. Happy wife, happy life.

I've adapted this into single units. Instead of having two cabinet boxes and a wide frame, I do a slimmer frame and just one box for a bank of drawers. I put them all around the perimeter of my shop and just put a continuous top down them. For a miter saw, I simply connected the top to the sides to provide a lower platform and its amazing. I don't make mine quite as deep (deep enough for a couple systainers and a few drawers. My workshop looks awesome thanks to your design. I even went so far as to paint the "legs" in festool dark blue, the cabinet insides and drawer fronts in festool gray, and the draw pulls are painted in festool green. It looks like I have a festool super shop. Best money I ever spent getting the plans for this design. Thank you Paoson!

I believe that I will change my plans for building a workbench after watching your video. Very impressive. And those clamps are quite nice.

I absolutely love the modular benches and the table saw/router bench. They are incredibly well built. I’m just starting out and will first make something more basic with the ultimate goal of making some of you beautiful pieces.

I've been searching for something like this for ages. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I love this way you made the frame from strips of ply... I'm looking forward to the continuation of this build.

So...where to begin. First of all, thank you for making the video - it is obvious it took a lot of work. Very useful design - like the shots showing how it works, and how you leverage your existing workbench. Amazing quality in the build and workmanship. really impressive - great attention to detail. Great production quality in the video - just enough to give us an idea on your process and steps, but not long winded or overly drawn out on unnecessary scenes. thanks for sharing.

Very clean and precise work.

Just wonderful! Fantastic job!

Mit Ideen und wenigen technischen Hilfsmitteln, geniale Ergebnisse zu produzieren, das ist eine wirkliche Kunst ! Chapeau ! Gracias, para regalar tus ideas y salud.

I've been playing about with designs for a new bench, with ideas ranging from flip top parts for tools, MFT style holes, drawers etc ... and then I finally came up with the idea of making multiple smaller benches which could be joined together in various ways to suit the application. Then I find your video of exactly what I've been playing about with ... you beat me to it by a good few years. Interesting, I've designed my drawers exactly the same way as you have, including the sliding mechanism ... however I'll be using laminate for the base of my drawers which will provide a smooth sliding action. I like the method building the frame, simple, easy and immensely strong, with the advantage of using material which is all the same thickness and type ... my design uses a mixture of ply and pine ... I like your method better! Many thanks for sharing :)

Отличная работа,шикарные столы у тебя парень!👍

Excellent workmanship.

I hope part 2 will be coming soon this is a great system for shop cabinetry. thanks for your videos.

Finally someone who's not ashamed to use a biscuit joiner!!! ;-)

Very nice work. Nice to see it being done without a shop full of very expensive tools.

I am building a workbench. It will not be like yours, but I congratulate you on the thoughful consideration you have given to every aspect of your design - not to mention the simple precision of your bench's construction. Well done and thank you!

Extremely well designed and well thought out. Of all the bench builds out there, I like yours the best. All of your designs and executions are outstanding.

Massive fan of your design and work

Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.

I admire your work and look forward to trying again! Thank you so much for your hard work!!

Can t wait for the next part 😇 thanks to share your excellent project

Very thankful! I have built a workbench by this work

A really successful job. Greetings from Germany.

아~주 좋아 굿~~~

Amazing work as always! Your work bench’s and shop are truly exceptional with beautiful sense of design and craftsmanship. Very inspiring to see one of the best on RU-vid.!

Andrews vise is a badass!!! Nice little bench buddy

Fantastic design.

Muito bom. É extremamente prazeroso ver seus trabalhos. Muito capricho. Estou aprendendo bastante. Obrigado.

And again a wunderfull build. I take my hat. Robert

Awesome. Thanks for the video.

Un proyecto divino de la muerte,un banco de trabajo impresionante, esperando impaciente el próximo video,los subtítulos en español me encantan,me entero de muchas más cosas,mil gracias,un saludo y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón ( Galicia)

Fantástico proyecto. Me encanta como trabajas. Felicidades. Esperamos el siguiente video con impaciencia. Saludos desde Gines.

Muy buena idea, gracias por compartirla

I always love your videos, they are easy to follow and detailed. I purchased your plans for the band saw and have the frame together. I'll do a video on finishing it.

la prolijidad con la que trabajas es envidiable. Felicitaciones. Voy a inspirarme en tu idea modular para hacer una nueva mesa para mi sierra de banco...jejej

I really like woodworking. This is a nice tutorial. I want want to make it on my own Thanks for this. We also have VIDEOS Regarding Woodworking but without the use of high priced tools. :)

I really like your bench it's beautiful

Love it. 👍

It's been a long time glad to see new video

Great job on the mobile tool stand Suso! Thanks for sharing the video with us.💖👌👍😎JP

Important and useful information

My partner sent me your TikTok video and I have NEVER gone on such a subscribe hunt in all my life! You are impressive and your plans are game changing. I needed to tell you this and now I must get back to your site to order plans. 😂

Hi...I'm your new subscriber. love your job and I'm learning it.

Very interesting video!

Suso, I really like your big bench build but do not have the space for something so large. Very excited to see this build! I can fit this

With the help of your plans and the videos, I started building my first workbench as a beginner! The frames are ready and I try to use regional 3-layer wood for the body ... but it's hard to get at the moment! Kuno von Odenbach in Germany

Thanks!

Cool !

As always great work :-) seheuch

My first workshop table was a 4ft x 8ft beast with drawers and the same levelling feet as this one. I’ve started to feel it’s a bit too large for the majority of general assembly work so I’m considering making 6 of these, two for a mitre saw station and the other 4 to be able to assembly into a 4x8 workstation for breaking down large sheets but then allowing them to be pushed up against the wall of the shop to create an open floor plan area for other tasks when needed

*Great Design, Cool!* 👍👌👏😎 *Can't wait for next part!* 👍👌

very good.

Bravo 👏👏💪💪👍👍🇫🇷

I'm absolutely sure. If you sell this modular workbench into an affordable price you could make a very big business ;-)

Muy agradecido! he construido uno inspirado en este trabajo

Редко выходят ваши видео 👍👍👍.

Estupenda idea.. como me gusta verte trabajar... sigue así enhorabuena. A ver si empiezo con el banco portatil para poder luego hacerme la mesa fija con ruedas :-(

Well, I doubd, I make something like this, but very intrestimg! Thank you!

Hi. I just recently purchased your planes for the Modular Workbench and find it very organized and lots of detail however, as a suggestion, if you were to label the individual parts in reference to the exploded views I think, it would improve the figuring out what part is what and were does it go dramatically. I enjoy your channel and your very clever cabinet making style! Thank very much for sharing!

I like the modular nature. I can't decide whether to build two of these or one big one. My concern about the modular one is that when connected together you couldn't use all the dogs for making perfect 90 degree cuts. No matter the connection type I think the error would be too great vs one big cnc/parf cut top. For small pieces and clamping it's great though. Really like the benches.

I love everything this guy builds and I’m intrigued..but at like 5:30 mannn my wood working dreams when down the drain when I saw he made 4 of those frames so perfectly.. like I can’t even make one straight frame 😢

Сусо, когда же вы покажите пожалуйста оператора, который успевает заснять процесс работы с клеем📹🎥👍🙂. Супероператор, а вы скрупулёзный мастер.

Hello, do you have a video on how you made the long back edge stops with the t-tracks in them. I like your design very much and goes go show how smart you are.

I love this idea! How does this bench perform compared to workbench made out of solid wood?

I really like this design and I bought the plans as I will be building it, probably 2-3 of them. My only concern is if I want to use a couple of the work benches as an assemble table - will the be dead flat and on the same plane? Assuming that each bench is built same size and accurately and that the floor is level.

Wow

Hola. Cuanto tiempo! Tardaste en publicar pero cuando lo haces es a lo grande. Que pintaza tiene este banco y para los que no tenemos mucho sitio viene muy bien. Además, trabajar sin un banco el trabajo se torna complicado y es tan necesario como la mejor de las herramientas. De momento, no puedo meterme con este futuro proyecto. Ahora estoy en plena faena camperizando nuestra Citan y sin un banco!!! Una tabla y dos caballetes. Lo peor de lo peor. Pero bueno, tardo más porque soy bastante tiquismiquis en el resultado final. Por cierto, hace unos días un cliente al que le reparé un equipo electrónico sabiendo de mis aficciones por trabajar la madera, me dijo que me iba a enviar un link de una persona que era un fuera de serie en esto de la carpintería. Bueno, pues el link era tu canal. La persona que me envió el link la conoces, Andrés de Bomoble :-)

I can't wait to eventually have a space that I can build something like this, one question I have is how would you lock all 4 wheels if you put 4 together as you won't have access to the wheels in the middle, I get you can do all 4 on 3 of the benches but the 4th would have a wheel left unable to be adjusted, do you have a solution for that? or when 2 are together and placed against a wall as I have seen you have in other videos, how do you adjust the middle back wheels? Huge fan of the builds.

Thinking about doing this, but doing 1/2" ply for the middle layer since I'm going to make 4 of them, to save on material costs.

I have looked at many designs and videos and I must say your modular unit is something I was thinking of. So when I found yours, I was very happy. I'm intrigued whether you plan on designing more units with the same modular setup? I have a mitre saw and a bench saw that I'm planning on integrating into my workbench, some varients on your modular system. Maybe a router station too. If you are planning further additions to this series, please let me know as I'll hold off my current build to see what you come up with? :) Many thanks for sharing your amazing designs and informative videos. So glad I found your channel.

Great video! One question though: what gauge of nails are you using when making the frame laminations?

Man thank you so much for such incredible content and design inspiration. Everything you do is beautiful. What can you tell us about the wrench/comb tool you use to quickly adjust those casters? Sorry if this has already been asked, and thanks again!

👍🏻

Fantastic design - plans ordered and waiting on materials to arrive. Quick question - what are you sprinkling on the glued joints?

Hi Paoson and thanks a lot for this wonderfull work. I've just bought the modular workbench plan and I'll try to make one of my own soon. A little question, what's the lengh of your nails? I have a 18V Makita nail gun using 0,6 mm headless nails. There are : 15, 18, 25, 30 or 35 mm. Thanks a lot, Thomas.

Es gracioso estaba pensando hacer este mueble de igual forma, pero no había visto que era con contrachapado, primero estoy haciendo algo para la mi sierra circular de banco, con la misma idea del contrachapado por que tenia unos retazos.

Hi nice work. Could you tell me about clamp you used for clamping, their band?

👏👏👏👍👍👍

Oh man, J just finish the big one and now you are coming out with this...?!??😂.Great tut as always if I can ask where do you find those clamp...?

Hey there.👋 awsome built. One question. How long did it took you to finish one of these units? At the moment I would like to built my own workbench and yours is a big inspiration👍 keep up the good work

Just got round to watching this, it looks fantastic. Would something this small work for handplaning work (or two joined together)? Or do you think that it would not be stable enough? I could replace castors with solid feet for my needs I think.

Thanks for the great vid. Is there any reason this couldn’t be made from OSB?

Paoson - bon journo. I just purchased your plans & look forward to building a few of these for my workshop. I intend on making two (2) identical units and a third one a few inches shorter for my miter saw. Great job designing these beautiful cabinets & thank you for sharing. At 9:45 in your video, you shake something on the glue. Is it salt? And what is this done for? Grazie mille! ps. I just looked it up on internet. apparently, salting glued pieces minimizes slippage of the glued pieces. thanks for sharing this tip.

I didn't catch if you said how many of what size sheets of birch ply would do one bench? Thanks !!

Ok so I have purchased both the plans for this and the larger bench and plan to make them all. What brand of hinges and drawer slides do you recommend for these? After the larger table is made do you ever use a miter saw again? If you do. should I make one of these to mount one with a dust shroud? Do you find it easier to use a tablesaw or the track saw? Is a tablesaw needed in the shop anymore? I am limited on space and looking for compact yet customizable designs that flow with the evolution of my shop.

Bravo, super travail, mais à combien revient un module Parce que le contreplaqué, c'"est super cher !

where do you go to acquire the build plans? Also I think I found them but what is the US dollar conversion? How many variations are in the build plans specced for this project?

Great work on these benches. Love them. Is the height for these the same as your Mobile Workbench with Table Saw & Router Table. I want to use these as additional workspace in conjunction with the workbench.

What gauge and length brad nails do you use to make each part of the frame?

Good job! May I ask u about wheels? Rather know where I can order sames. Can u share link? Thank you!

Like 👍👌🖒

I really like those clamps. What is the brand of the clamps? Where can they be purchased?

Hello, I'm interested but I would ask you if you believe you can build it without a lot of tools, making the cut in parts store. I just approached the world of wood and I have no workbench currently use two wooden sawhorses and a board. Thank you and congratulations you are very good

like those clamps can you tell us where you get them?

Are you sprinkling pepper on the glue when you widen the leg mounts for the wheels? I'm assuming it's sand or something to help the piece but slip around?

How many sheets of plywood do i need? I have 2,5m x 1,25m sheets.
