Workbench from Reclaimed Wood | Plans Available

This rock-solid workbench is made from some reclaimed wood I was able to source locally. While this workbench weighs an absolute ton, it is rigid and loaded with functionality to help change the way I do work in the shop. In this video I walk through the process of how to make this bench and even provide a few vairations of how it can be used to hold work pieces. There are also build plans available if you're wanting to build one of these yourself.

🤩 Reclaimed wood 🤩 Love the sustainability of this project!

[@EigenDesigns]

Thanks Julie! These Timbers were great quality wood that just needed a little bit of work to reach their full potential. 😃

[@craigwesson1788]

Love it. Great wood find ! 😊

[@EigenDesigns]

Thanks Craig 😃

[@DudeSawdust]

That is one sweet bench! Great job on the build and fine craftsmanship. Also, I was quite impressed with how your video production has improved. You really outdid yourself on this one!

[@EigenDesigns]

Thanks Logan! I am really working to improve the video quality. Maybe one day I can be a good RUclipsr like you 😄

[@DudeSawdust]

@@EigenDesigns but once you catch up to me I’ll still be one step ahead of you once again….but it’s worth a try

[@EigenDesigns]

@@DudeSawdust I accepted a long time ago that the path to RUclips success will be filled with your footprints.

[@JPToto]

Turned out great, Mark!

[@upnorthoffcuts929]

Great looking build there sir. Your shop is looking good as you progress in your ventures. Thanks for sharing. John.

[@EigenDesigns]

Thanks John, I appreciate your support 😄

[@b3ardedbarbarian]

How did you find out about that lumber. There’s a couple shipping ports close by and I’d like to see if I could get any lumber from them

[@EigenDesigns]

One of the guys in our local Facebook woodworking group worked down there and shared that information with the broader group.

[@mikesimpkins7919]

What are you using for your hand drill press?

[@jonbooker1050]

Being a new woodworker, I learned a lot of new techniques from this build. What I do want to ask is what is the drill press type device you use in conjunction with your drill? Thanks

[@EigenDesigns]

Hey Jon, I bought the drill guide from WoodPeckers. It's top notch in terms of quality and has allowed me to drill perfectly straight holes anywhere in my shop. This is the one I use in the video: amzn.to/3UUTTAg

[@jonbooker1050]

@@EigenDesignsthank you!

[@chrisbuttrey]

hi

[@EigenDesigns]

Hello there! 😃

[@gk1841]

you could not add the sizes of the wood you are using, what a shame!

[@EigenDesigns]

Maybe I can help - what sizes are you after? The rough lumber or the surfaced lumber?

[@billrichardson2580]

Nice
