I tirelessly searched RU-vid and Pinterest for workbench designs, and after taking into account the tools I have and the types of project I work on, there were essentially three main features I needed:
1. Mobility - Hauling tools in and out of a garage is tiring and it eats up time during a build. Plus, if you’re like me, your garage is not quite a full-time woodshop, so being able to store a workbench to the side is a must.
2. Size - I needed a workbench that could accommodate the largest material I might find myself working with: a 4’x8′ sheet of plywood. It takes a large workbench to act as a decent out-feed table for a table saw or to provide an adequate work area when assembling larger projects.
3. Modular - A good workbench should be able to change with your needs, so I designed this workbench to either be two smaller halves or one big work area. I also built-in a slot to accommodate a variety of fixed tools such as a miter saw, pocket hole jig, router table, etc.
I have to give credit to Steve and Bob for providing me the inspiration on this workbench. Be sure to check out their videos:

Thanks for all the great comments. I just added plans and cut list on the blog post. Check it out: gadgetsandgrain.com/2018/03/13/diy-mobile-modular-workbench-to-bring-your-shop-to-the-next-level/

@kevintowery8910 5 лет назад

What do you estimate your wood cost to be?

@TomBodet556 5 лет назад

TY so much for the plans/cut list. I've been thinking of exactly what you did for the miter station and am happy to see it work out well.

@hiking7521 4 года назад

Love the plans! Thanks for taking the time and not nickle and some us for the plans! Ha I'm going to build this with a few add on. I'm adding and router table and a table saw. Have you added and thing to you table?

@hiking7521 4 года назад

you commented on making a new video for the storage. i can find that video. i love my new bench!!!

@nalbertgerber9930 4 года назад

Man i bought and built bobs bench which is great, but i wish i would have seen yours because i need to build a miter saw station, and yours would have killed 2 birds with one stone for me. Nice build man

@andretreurnich4012 Год назад

Love the magnet idea to lock the benches together!

@abbii1661 4 года назад

nice of you to use the text of wood to show what you are doing. it is a great help for my understanding of your project

@krista3686 4 года назад

I love this table. When I first starting watching my first thought was that I didn’t need a work bench that big but it’s perfect. I also like that you plainly explain the construction and all of the materials used to build it.

@veizour 5 лет назад

Of course, when I have an idea, there's a video already completed on it. Thanks for the walkthrough. I like your method of having the "what's happening" written on the project pieces as you're doing it. Keeps it simple and yet explains what's happening.

@adm61299 3 года назад

So, I got the plans and worked on my implementation of this great workbench. it turned out just as great as how you have it. it serve me very well because of the width. the 24" is perfect for my garage and I opted to keep the half with the Miter saw as a "permanent" Miter station to be moved only if I need to cut large sheet of goods. I changed the way they lock together by using a clamp lock instead of the magnets. I just felt they would have less movement this way, and could get the magnets fast enough :). I am now in the process of adding a Miter fence after changing the height so that the saw sits flush withe surface instead of above it, and a dust collection system of some sort. I have also added a small cabinet where I installed my Ryobi table saw on and added caster to make it the same height as the workbench, again for large sheet goods. So, basically with your great design, I was able to establish my woodworking workshop that I always wanted. all thanks to you for the great concept and ease of design. Thannks

@ZacJones 6 лет назад

Awesome spin on narration Jeremy, I liked reading what the different pieces were. Thought that was pretty unique, I hope you don't mind me replicating this for my shop haha!

@GadgetsandGrain 6 лет назад

Go for it! I’m still trying figure out the best way to make these videos. Just subbed to your channel. Loved the cutting board. See you ‘round!

@AdamEadens 3 года назад

I'd been thinking of building something modular with magnets just like this but with a Paulk top. Picked up several new ideas watching this one. Great work and thanks for sharing!

@ronevans8238 3 года назад

This is probably one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen for a workbench! Definitely love that it can be a space saver, but also adapt to a large workbench if needed.

@getenlightened 5 лет назад

I like the modular miter saw section. I need to incorporate something like this in my bench design. Thanks for the video.

@theleveretts4179 4 года назад

I’m definitely enjoying the edits and the instruction written on the material. I’ve been researching videos for my workbench and it’s been getting monotonous with all the other videos. I appreciate the variety 👌

Love the concept. I’m starting with the miter saw bench today! Thanks for posting the pans below.

@privateuploads-geo2625 6 лет назад

Nice and simple. I like that you show us how to build a work bench, and are not working on a work bench to build it, since that is what most people needing to build a work bench will have to deal with! I'd like to add in a jig to hold a fence for when you might want to use the cross cut saw in lieu of a table saw for ripping certain pieces. Excellent. I think this may be the bench I build.

@GadgetsandGrain 5 лет назад

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

@arnieselectric007 5 лет назад

Gotta love those safety shoe flip flops while handling some of that heavy stuff, LOL... 😂

@douggoff5784 9 месяцев назад

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

@richmillsap3541 4 года назад

I have had this plan in my head for a long time and to see someone else put it together is a great help. I can see things I haven't thought about and others I would change for my situation. Thanks for putting this together.

@talm2891 11 месяцев назад

Awesome! This is definitely the winner, hoping my skills are up for the task, but going to attempt this as the first project for my workshop upgrade. Thank you!

@BronkBuilt 6 лет назад

@sarahjaneroecker9166 5 лет назад

Best design EVER! Now my car and my workshop can co-exist in my one-car garage. Thanks for your clear directions. Very easy to follow.

@nathelm 5 лет назад

Outstanding video. I've been looking for a bench design to fit my garage. This one will do perfectly. Thanks man!

@tonyzurbriggen8702 4 года назад

This tutorial video and the actual work bench is insane!!! So awesome how modular it is!! Best one I’ve seen yet

@sigpi222 3 года назад

The split design and the sunken miter section gives me ideas for a swappable miter/jobsite saw section. The back half of the table then can rotate to be an outfeed table already at the right height. I will say however, with the price of lumber right now, that doubled up 3/4 ply top is not a cheap option.

@ErraticPerfectionist 5 лет назад

The funny thing is that today I was coming up with a similar idea to use magnets to join a couple of smaller workbenches together when I needed it, and then while looking for small workbench design ideas on RU-vid, I came across your video which not only shows that it can work, but your design is possibly the best I've seen all day. Thanks for sharing your design and building process with us!

@GadgetsandGrain 5 лет назад

Thanks! And good luck on your build. Let me know if you run into any questions.

@patelkrunal311 5 лет назад

Dude. Great f'in idea. I'm in your shoes as well, I have to put 2 cars in my garage. Splitting up the bench makes A TON OF SENSE. Thanks for the idea!

@mkwriath 4 года назад

Thanks for the inspiration here. I have a garage that is used for other things too and, not just a workshop and being from across the pond from you, in the UK, its not really the biggest of areas to work and, I have been pondering over possible solutions but, coming up empty until I saw your video. Thank you so much dude and, giving a cut list too, is the icing on the cake. thanks again.

@jonathanbanuelos6811 4 года назад

@johanderuiter9842 5 лет назад

That convertable mitre saw station is the best idea I've seen in a while!, you're a genius. Thanks for uploading.

@bigray2859 6 лет назад

What a fantastic video!!! Having a big bench is great!! I love mine!! Yours is 100 times nicer! I also have 2 sheets of plywood for my top, I screwed them together w/o glue, this way when the surface gets boogered up I still have 3 sides to go. I figure I'm good for 10 to 20 years. My shop is no showpiece, but maybe with a little practice, I might make a few pieces to be proud of. Great music too!

@how2q 5 лет назад

We learn more from your mistakes than all the successes. Nice work around on the magnets. Thank you for ALL the work you put into video and cut list!!

@1averageamerican 5 лет назад

I am planning a mobile work bench with 3 integrated flip stations. Now I'm thinking just build the 3 flip stations and use magnets to stick them together. Awesome idea! Thanks.

@GadgetsandGrain 5 лет назад

That sounds awesome. If you can, shoot me over some photos when it’s done.

@1averageamerican 5 лет назад

@@GadgetsandGrain Sounds good. I'm clearing out my 2 car garage and making it a dedicated woodshop - smithy. It's a bit of a challenge fitting both in 20x20. Looking for more good space saving ideas. Thanks again for sharing.

@lukaround 3 года назад

@wingman358 4 года назад

I like the modular saw section. And the table splitting and tucking under the lumber storage racks is nice.

@waynemiller6070 5 лет назад

I've been putting ideas together for a mobile work station. I almost laughed out loud when I saw you using a banquet table for assembly etc, (since that's what I use too) I built a table/stand for my job site table saw so I can use the banquet table for my outfeed table. The table saw stand when upside down allows the saw to fit inside for easy transporting or storage. I too still like to actually park in my garage. Lol. Nice build. I enjoyed the video.

@SpareroomWoodworking 6 лет назад

@ehamilton8686 4 года назад

I was just thinking about building a work table that I can separate and have a multi purpose use. Love your video. It’s perfect for my table saw, miter saw, router and my jigsaw.

@pikubird 5 лет назад

Great build man! 1 suggestion if I may! Try the flip top so you don’t have to remove the miter saw and have to put it back

@bugnator 5 лет назад

@randyrice7214 2 года назад

This is my new favorite design. I had 1 main question: how do you account for uneven garage floors effecting the benches joining together for a smooth top? I would imagine the 2 tops wouldn't align well which could throw off builds that needed both tops. Also, thank you!

I am absolutely going to make a variation of this. I've been using Steve Ramsey's basic mobile workbench for a while and it's served me great, but I'd like to address the shortcomings with my existing setup and this looks like it does.

@sloboatazmesa309 4 года назад

I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to say this gave me some good solutions for a shop in a 40' container. 12' will be framed and insulated for reloading, batts and electric (for solar), and water pump and tank. That leaves 28', but my convertible will take up 17' when we are traveling. This design will allow me to use a section for an out feed, another for my miter saw, or side by side for glue ups and push against the wall when done or push them to the center of the container to get my car in. Thanks.

@michaelkulman7095 2 года назад

I'd store the mitersaw on a waist high shelf or hang it from french cleats on wall rather than bending down so far. One advantage of this set up is it's easy to take the saw to a remote site and set it on sawhorses with planks across them. Also as you say you can make other inserts.These two reasons, other inserts and remote work keep me from going for a rotating set up. Thanks for the detailed plans!

@pablopedrocca7308 3 года назад

There are two components on these how to videos: first is the content (in this case the workbench - very cool, and I am stealing some ideas). But the other thing is the making of the video itself (i.e. making it clear, to the point, and entertaining). Not talking all the time but instead writing what you're doing on the materials is another level of brilliant.
