Great stuff, Brad. You forgot one option for the top drawer front: use two pieces (as if you have two drawers, like below) of scrap with the grain running how you like. One big drawer that looks like two and you use two pulls.
I came here to suggest the same thing.
Great suggestion!
That dowel clamp hangar is a great idea. I've been thinking about attaching vertical storage to the side of a metal tool cabinet for my clamps, levels, and the pipes I use for torque multiplication. I'll definitely use dowels for my clamps. Such a simple and effective solution.
thanks!
Workbench getting sturdy fr 🕺
Soooo heavy now
Looks good but the one thing that you missed was the one attachment that I find most useful - a narrow tray that allows me to quickly grab a pencil (and, in my case, an eraser) without having to open any drawers.
As far as the edge banding goes - I have a future project where I will need to apply edge banding at a right angle like that. Your few seconds of video showed me exactly how to do that, which is something I wasn't sure of. So, the fact that you gave in and applied the edge banding not only means it won't bother you, but was also helpful to a random woodworking subscriber. Thank you!
So glad a few of RUclips subs are scheduling video drops for Christmas! Thinking of hitting my shop to build something small today myself. Merry Christmas!
Neat project and entertaining video. For the top drawer, what about just a simple tray shelf that rolls from side to side, maybe with some kind of magnet stopper in the middle to nestle it back to center. Just spit ballin' in my head.
as someone who is waching the office right now i love all the cips you added
😀
I will NEVER get sick of that Office scene.
New bench is looking great and I'm sure way more functional than the last one. Now you've got me thinking of ways to upscale my bench with drawers and more storage. Keep the inspirations coming. - Chris
Thanks, Chris!
Nice addition. I recently added a boom arm to the back of my main bench for hose and cord control.
That last part, "back atcha buddy" had me rolling 😂😂😂
Chuck and Mountain Dew in a can in the first minute. Greatest Christmas ever!
I'm still calling for a Mountain Dew sponsorship!
We're waiting for it....
Clearly a cup holder mounted on the side of the workbench is needed!
If you are ever going to stack plywood like that, you can go ahead and have the CNC carve in dowel holes to align everything. Makes everything easier.
Came here for the workbench content, stayed for the Chuck cameo. As a fellow Vol, can you PLEASE make Chuck an Alabama fan?
I mean let's be real...could be any SEC team really, lol
It’s a beautiful thing when everything is in reach. I can see why you have so many subscribers your just a pleasure to watch and chuck he’s a cool dude
On my assembly table, I put a divider across in the middle with a drawer on the side of one end, and beneath it, I put a slide-out drawer in the end for my belt/disc combo sander with a curtain in front to keep most of the dust out. The side beneath the drawer and on the other end was boarded up, and has yet to see use. On the other end, I divided it in 2 lengthwise with 3 shelves with slightly raised front edges on one side for tool boxes, and on the other side, a drawer for gloves at the bottom with a shelf for random bigger parts above it. On the end, I mounted holders for spray cans at the bottom, and I plan to find some solution for holding speed squares and the like above them.
Ha - your videos are always so excellent and instructive, but somehow they are getting even more entertaining with time. So glad to see your well-earned subscriber count continue to grow!
For a perfectionist - how about two pieces for the top drawer. Kind of faux two drawers but actually pulls out as one? Could also then match the line going down between the other drawers.
Brilliant, Brad! Fantastic work!!! 😃
But hey, when finishing parts that still need to be glued up later... Blue tape! And no guess work. 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
I thought about that, but didn't want to waste the tape 😀
@@Fixthisbuildthat Damn! You're worse than me! 😂
I totally understand!
it turned out excellent Brad! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks, Scott. Happy New Year!
You could do a pull out shelf, drawer without a face, put a lip around it so things don't slide off.
This is a pretty good use of space. I like it.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brad! (And I guess Chuck.... 😂)
Same to you! And Chuck says "back atcha"
I expect the perfectionist in you to address those misaligned drawers. Good to see youtube "pros" mess up too.
Before watching your version of this workbench conversion, I watched another RUclipsr's version. In that version, he skipped an important step that, you did not skip. That step was test fitting the box under the workbench before proceeding with the rest of the build. He had to force fit the cabinet into the workbench, but, at the end of the build, it looked every bit as nice as yours does.
You have gonna be smiling for the perfect part. That's so true and Who can say it better👍😆
Another great video. Well done. The drawer installation tip by flipping it on its side was nice. 👍
Love how you get excited when something works!
I had a slightly different take on the hose holder - I thought it looked just like one of those "cat's rear end" towel holders, and now I can't unsee that! Great solution though.
I love that work bench and all the draws! Thanks! Merry Christmas y'all!
Thanks for pointing out the flaw in the plywood. I couldn't stop looking at it and my OCD was kicking in.😅
Doing adjustments to my work bench as well. Thanks for some great ideas.
I also did clamp storage at the end of my outfeed/assembly table. Now they are always at my fingertips when I need them.
Great Christmas morning watch - I am in the middle of building my workbench and will no doubt grab (steal) some ideas 🙂..
I like that, Brad. That’s great.
I really like this bench Brad! Also the tip about the plywood wedge clamp is one I'll be using! Thanks
Thanks, Michael! Merry Christmas!
I need to build something super similar for my outfeed table. Just not sure if I want drawers or just shelving. Like you, the perfectionist is hard to fight off.
Merry Christmas Brad, to you and your family
Easel is somewhat limited CAD system, but that makes it very intuitive to learn. And it's free! Somewhere on a server farm, Easel is storing a petabyte of pipe-dreams for me; most of which will never be carved.
Huge fan! Thanks for all the videos Brad! You inspired me to start my own channel.
I like your design, and your Craftsmanship!
Well done!
The comic relief on this one was on point. More chuck!
Love this video - super helpful for the bench I just built, had no idea what I was going to do down there beyond a slab of plywood on the base. This gave me lots of inspiration! Thanks!!!!
Oh man I love these videos! (And I just realized you’re in Franklin. I’m right next door in Thompsons Station!) Great work as usual.
The holder for the sander is going to put uneven pressure on the sanding pad, warping the pad over time, which will cause the sander to create swirls and sand things unevenly. Random orbit sanders should always be stored resting on a flat surface.
Love how this turned out. I need to enclose the base of my workbench so this gave me some great ideas......thanks for this and all your great video's. I watch every one! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
Love the setup for the storage!!! Great video too! Thanks!
Good project
Another great video. Can’t wait to start building my own bench and storage.
Merry Christmas 🎄 and Go Vols! GB🍅!!
Return of Chuck! Yessss!!!!
So organized for the new year!
I hang my bar claps using two uprights of angled slots that the clamp bar fit into. Can sent pics if you are interested.
8:16 That is a brilliant way to store clamps!
Fun twist to this video. Thx for mixing it up.
Another great project.
OMG Brad, yes the second hose holder is more offensive! LOL!!!!! That was great dude.
as a carpenter of 55 yrs all is i can say is cute. very cute.
Nicely done Brad! Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well... 👍👍🌲🌲
Great video!! Building my first "Forever Workbench" 🥰... ok yeah...I'm in love with my wood work...nevermind. Subscribed! 👍
Merry Christmas Señor to you and your family. Awesome build gonna get me some plans!!!!
Feliz Navidad!
Two down at least ten to go, come on now, let’s build another. It did turn out great though.
Workbench’s are so much fun to build, high return on the money too!
Great project, great work bench and love to humor mixed in! I need to get down to the garage and do some projects. From JC, keep up the good work!
Very enjoyable video, and great finish to the workbench build. Thanks for tips along the way too frfr
Any time!
That's great, Brad. Of course, you had to get the "me" nails in there. It's good that you were able to somewhat overcome your ECD to finish this. You'll probably find Chuck sleeping on top of the bench now (lol). Merry Christmas.
Bill
Loving the sick voice. Nice, deep, and slightly raspy! Lol
Great end result as always!
Happy Holidays to Fix That Build That
Thank you, you too!
Q1: What do you intend to do with the tiny dust around, dropping down to tools in open spaces below the bench? A curtain maybe? Q2: Why is there 1 mm misalignment in right and left drawers horizontally? Q3: I've watched too many bench videos and could be wrong, but I think I saw a very similar project before. Overall, I really like your projects and products.
very nice .... think I will do pretty much the same thing.
Mele Kalikemaka (Hawaiian for Merry Christmas). One of those 70 Woodcraft stores is in Honolulu so I got a source for my projects.
Aloha ... and take the rest of the day off and enjoy your family.
That's awesome, didn't realize they had one there. Happy New Year, Tom!
Merry Christmas bro. Love your channel
Don't cool hose, half it, or make a serpentine hanger track off the ceiling with a drop-down length to do your work and never play with its length again! Columbus Michigan
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
That vacuum is likely going to want more breathing room. Compare it inside and outside the cabinet to see the difference in vacuum effectiveness. (Its airflow is also the cooling system for its motor)
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brad.
02:30 lol @ looking at imperfection😂
Not really related, but your obsession with cleanliness had me thinking: what's the best way to keep a small shop dust free?? My last shop had a film of dust on EVERYTHING
The best christmas present
Merry Christmas!
Great addition and lots of useful add-ons. Merry Christmas to you and yours
You are my favourite woodworker RUclips pro! I was wondering if you would have any interest in planning a work bench that incorporates a job site table saw and a miter saw that’s also for a garage and mobile? I can’t seem to find one that is just right and I know you could do it the right way, with perfection! Never hurts to ask right?
Glad I'm not the only one who trips over the sander hose
So freakin' hilarious!!! Well done video! And the information presented is stellar as usual! Cheers!
Finally someone did a simple clamp rack, mines like that and I get annoyed every time I see someone build a complicated clamp rack or use a store bought solution also over complicated designs usually.
At the end, reminds me of Funkhouser Racing, Cousin Ricky. hahaha
I’ve watched a few of your videos, great camera presents, organization, fun, editing.. I’m aspiring to start wood working and have tools but my space is terrible. 1 car garage that I’m sharing with other storage so it’s been frustrating working on projects when you have to move things 100’s of times to stay kinda organized. Anyway, I’ll keep at it. Keep up the good work.
*presence* not presents 🎁 😅
Appreciate the Super Thanks!
Looks great..!
Nice bench, I like it
Pretty nice my friend! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas 🎄😀
I need more cowbell. I mean red arrows. ❤
Was going to go for a third, but come on...I have standards
😂right back at you buddy 😂
Merry Christmas Brad!!!!!
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos, dude......and oh yeah...GO VOLS!!!!!!!
13:02 As a fellow perfectionist, I may have a drawer front solution here that passes muster, using your existing materials. Your wide top drawer is above 2 banks of drawers with a vertical gap between the left and right. How about cutting 2 similar pieces from your piece in this shot, each one half the length, and mount those on the front of the long drawer, so as to make a _faux_ 2-drawer false front, with its vertical gap aligned with the actual vertical gap below it? You could even make them a bit taller, cut back that horizontal divider below it (you know, the one with the, _errg, cough,_ flaw in it) by 3/4", and have them hang down in front of it, so as to also have a matching horizontal gap between the bottom of the long drawer and the tops of the 2 below it.
Well, did I pass the perfectionist challenge? 😎
Clever solution!
That's a great idea.
Go Vols!!
The bird at the end, lol
Merry Christmas
