Yes, I can relate to how you work and I find that encouraging.

This was the most brutally painful build I've ever witnessed and I salute you, fully. And the sheer reckless chutzpah of using OSB - OMG! All that wood dust and wood chips from something made of wood dust and wood chips, I feel I need to break out the wet/dry vac in my office just from having watched this. Great video. Thank you.

I have never done woodworking, but with my father under hospice care, the 4 months of RUclips videos seems to have calmed me. I am about 70% done clearing out the overstuffed garage and temporarily storing everything in the back yard (hoping it doesn’t rain). I watched your RUclips video early Sunday morning and laughed at myself through your insight. I haven’t even started my woodworking yet, but can see myself in many situations as I go through the next year. Thank you for your humor and reminding me to enjoy the ride. : )
I hope your father is doing well! 🙏 Woodworking is a journey, enjoy the wins and move on from the mistakes. But also learn from them 😆. Hope it doesn't rain!. Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment I appreciate it. 🦆
The video and this comment really resonated with me. My dad passed 6 years ago and left me a garage of woodworking power and hand tools. After retiring and moving into a new house, I set up a bay in the garage and began to practice what I’ve tried to learn on RUclips while still working. Now nearly 2 years later I’m getting a little better and enjoying this work immensely. But I find my plans and outcomes are often not quite the same. So I really enjoyed how you went out building this bench and honesty of showing all the “learning opportunities”. I have a learning opportunity every day. Thank you.
I'm glad my videos can help you in some way! It's cool that you get to both honor your dad's memory and share in a trade that he enjoyed to. Woodworking is an amazing journey to be... With highs and lows. 🦆
At last, an honest video! I think most of us weekend woodworkers are thinking, that’s me. I love it that you don’t try to hide the kind of mistakes that we all make and in doing so, you can help us not to make the same mistakes. At the end of it you have a useable workbench, objective achieved.
Thank you! One of my main goals with this channel is showing my own journey as woodworker. But more importantly, show other woodworkers on the same journey they are not alone, mistakes happen... Learn from them. Get better each day. 🦆
Even after reading several other comments from other people saying "thanks for showing your mistakes". I still must say, thanks for showing your mistakes. You have some of the best qualities a man could ever have. Humility and humbleness. This is my first video from you ive ever seen and i'm liking and subscribing instantly
Awesome! Thank you so much I'm honored by the kind words. But I can't take credit for any of it. It's the Holy Spirit that works through me. I'm glad the video has resonated with so many people. It's nice to know you're not alone in this woodworking journey. 🦆
I often start to build a protoype,, and then use it until it fails. I think this will last you a good long while and if you are like me,, as long as it is working,, no rebuild needed, and the additions to the plan will keep coming and when it you do have to, it will really be something.. Can't wait for that one,, Great job.
Thank you! That's me too! The OSB/MDF top to a MDF/MDF top is the major change I want to make, that way the wings will be easier to take off and re-install. But better nothing else is going to be replace till it need to be, and even after that it still might take me a year to do it. LOL.
You’re 100% right about plywood costs, I’m in Australia and it’s the same. Sometimes you get lucky and get hold of packing sheets or seconds. I’ve built a few benches over the years and one thing that is consistent is no matter how well you build it there’s always something that you wish you’d thought of afterwards. I’ve got a vacuum extractor attachment for my Makita router and it does save a lot of mess when hooked up to my shop vac. It’s not perfect, but gets most of it. Same with my other power tools. You’ve built a pretty decent and useful bench. Great job!👍🏻
Hopefully one day the prices will finally come down. I need to buy or build an attachment to deal with the mess. Right now it doesn't bother me, but in the summer time I am covered in sweat... Which just leads to the dust being glued to me. Thank you and thank you for checking out the video!
i would have suggested using melamine covered particle if you were going that route. add an edge band or glue/paint edge finish, and your bench would last a lot longer when exposed to oils/liquids that would expand the cells of the particles in the board, leading to warpage down the line. you can get around this by occasionally blocking down the work surface, or buzzing it with a sander, but dipping in the surface is also resultant. more scratch/wear resistance is a plus as well. all these benefits for a moderate price increase in material.
Very true! I thought about using melamine, but for the life of me, I can't remember why I didn't 😅. it might have come down to the fact I had almost a full sheet of MDF already to make the top and the wings. and I don't have mel on hand for the project. I do plan on sealing the MDF with shellac and wax.
I love your enthusiasm and honesty as you narrate your building of this bench. It's given me some great ideas for my new bench. thanks for putting this out on YT
I'm an intermediate woodworker in a small basement shop. I found this video helpful, entertaining, and most of all VERY WELL MADE. I will be watching all you videos, good luck and we're out here with you building stuff and getting better!
@@fiveduckstudio Spencley Design Co. on here ran into the same problem in his "you've been lied to for years" video. Took a massive bevel out of the bottom with a 60° chamfer bit.
That's liable to make the T-track clamps even more unstable (and possibly destructive to the worktop's underside) than is already the case. On top of that, it would reduce the depth of the hole which would drastically reduce its resilience when used with bench dogs or holdfasts. Speaking of which... You'd probably have a much better time of it using holdfasts/hold down clamps than those slot clamps. Sure it's another thing you'd have to buy, but radically more convenient, frees up the T-slot clamps (or ratchet clamps) you'd otherwise be using, and _way_ more stable/trustworthy to hold. And as long as there's a little chamfer or bevel on the hole edges (and the holes are at minimum 50% deeper than wide), the worktop should stay in good shape while offering myriad ways to handle clamping, bracing, and jig handling, all via tooling that plugs firmly into those holes. If you make the holes more shallow, you're likely closing the door on a lot of common options that can later enhance overall utility - at least until you go back and reinforce or rebuild the top.
You did a great job with the materials that you used. I repeatedly had issues with that cheaper material many years ago same as you experienced. So I never used MDF, OSB or Particle Board for projects ever again. I spent the extra money for the best of materials. And for me it was the right decision. I found I spent less time putting out fires and trying to overcome the limitations of my materials choice. And the end result was a better finished product. I'm making a tool chest top now. My material for that is 2" X 9" X 8' Construction Spruce. I will make it smooth and flat. It will be burned, wire brushed and stained with bright red and blue Unicorn Spit. And finally treated with Wipe-On Poly. The edge will be hit with a round over router bit before the finishing process. The tool chest is finished except for my drawer fronts. It's all constructed from 4' X 8' X 3/4" Sanded Pine Sheets.
Great Video! For adjusting the extenstion use a through bolt that has a nut locked where it keeps the bolt top flush, but can still spin without the top moving, then you can simply turn the bolts from the top to adjust the level, instead of sticking things into it.
It's refreshing to see a RUclipsr admitting the mistakes they've made. I'm fortunate in the Ron Paulk lives near by me in Florida. Of course, I would not knock on his door and ask him endless mind numbing questions but you've done a great job answering mine. I just subscribed to your channel and look foward to your projects. I like how you added a little of the outstakes like Fishers Shop invented.
I built a workbench from Ron Paulk’s plans while working as a trim carpenter 13 years ago. It’s 1/2” AC plywood with polyurethane. It’s amazingly handy and I still use it today. It’s been setup in the backyard for 4 months now while I build a shed.
great video! I'm from a professionnal woodworker family and it please me to see a youtuber who shows his mistakes! When you make mistakes you have to be a master in fixing it, and it's a part of a being great woodworker ;)
In 1987 I built my workbench modeled after the heavy bench I had admired in my Grandfathers shop as a boy. I began with 6 - 4X4 legs with a 2X4 frame. A double stack of drawers down the middle & 2 large bins on either end for power tools. For the top I used 2X12 X 8ft long. This bench has served me well thru 3 houses & enumerable projects. It is heavy enough to support a big vise on one end. !
I made the base of my workbench the same way about 3 years ago, except I used 1/2" plywood. I liked the laminating strips and bridal joints so much that I built a sewing table the same way for my sister. For the top I doubled two sheets of 3/4" MDF to make a strong and flat top that could be cheaply replaced. Nice job, and I hope it serves you well.
Great build! I'm going to use some of these ideas on my upcoming workbench. Quick tip: to counter-sink over an existing hole with a forstner bit (like you tried to do around 12:00), first use the same forstner bit to drill a hole in a piece of scrap wood. Then clamp the scrap over the spot you want to drill. The hole in the scrap will act as a guide to keep your bit steady while you drill.
I have learned some good ideas from this. Will certainly come back for more. I just made a workbench and then took it apart and redid it again. I dont have all the machine room tools, I am just a home DIYr, working in my room. I am going to take your extension idea to a more extreme level. I am going to build a unit just to fit the my mitre saw and replicate that unit to create extensions so I can add an extension to cut various sized cuts or a workshop bench. Each unit providing stability and working area as needed. I particularly like the side extension idea
That sounds awesome! Please share the results with me at fiveduckstudio@gmail.com or send me a message on Instagram! I would like to see what you come up with. 🦆
Nothing goes perfect the first time. The second try includes everything you learned the first time. Thanks for sharing the mistakes with the successes.
I just found your channel today, thank goodness I did. I feel like I must have cameras in my shop and your videos are based on that footage. It sure feels good to know I’m not alone. Now I need to watch the rest of your videos to see what else I’m about to do next in my shop that may be sketchy. Thanks, Ed
Hi from uk. So an upgrade improvement. The centre filler piece you had to fit... This should now be a sacrificial strip when doing any cross cuts with your track saw. A couple of Dogs that are in the right place for the track to push up against so the blade is over the centre of that sacrificial piece, you just might need to add those dog holes. Or.. put in a couple of threaded inserts and some blocks with bolts to drop in instead of dog holes
Great build and great video! It has everything; Star Wars, OSB, near fatal accidents and round overs! Looking forward to the many projects that will be born on the new bench!
Hey Scott! How are you doing? Thank you! Hopefully no more near fatal accidents! 😅 I got a lot of projects I'm working on this summer. Can't wait to share them with you!
Regarding the extension wings. I like the second set with the lock plate, in wood working “really secure” wins the day keeping costs low and making sure all my fingers are in tact.
The doses of reality in this video mixed with the humility supplied make for an effective remedy to my penchant for getting involved in projects beyond my pay grade, thanks, blessings, and Shalom
Great project. I admire your honesty in showing things that haven’t turned out planned. Helps the rest of us feel better about our own little excursions from the plans 😁
I really like how you did not edit out your blunders. It's refreshing to see some authentic and raw realism. You're like the Scorcese of woodshop youtubers.
@@fiveduckstudio FYI, No woodworker in history (in this or any other galaxy) has ever owned enough clamps. It's a fundamental, immutable, physical law of the universe... as we can understand her.
@@fiveduckstudio If I could post images, I'd show you a picture of the massive wooden painted sigin that hangs in my shop right next to racks and a giant heep of clamps. It says in 14 inch tall words: "You can never have enough clamps!"
Clamp some scrap above an area you need to counter bore and it will act as a guide. Best dust collection for routing cutouts is a jigsaw ;) Your wings are called corbels. Great video and project please keep it going!
I like the work bench kooks great finished I ave seen thinking of making some shop drawers out of OSB since a full sheet of OSB is $16 and BB Plywood is $65..Keep up the good work. 😃
I haven't laughed this hard with an instructional video, ever. Nothing like watching someone make the same mistakes you have, and offering hilarious commentary at the same time. I've been doing woodworking for nearly 50 years, much of it as a professional, but I'm now setting up my last shop, and you've offered some great insights. Thanks!
Another great video showcasing the value of OSB and how to overcome all those obstacles a lot of creators don't include in their videos! You really have a gift for explaining the process and the sly little jokes inserted everywhere Joseph! I too need to continue to remove the "Human error which is me" from my builds! Love it!!!
Awesome video… entertaining, educational, and real! The authenticity in your videos is captivating and refreshing! Well done grasshopper!!! The workbench looks great!
I wanted to take a moment to tell you I really appreciated this video and it made me smile because I can relate to a lot of things here. Started college for Forestry & Wildlife Management before switching to Network Systems and Security because I knew there weren't enough jobs for the amount of students in the classes since I had several friends in the line of work and knew there wasn't that many to be filled. Working IT, while far from wealthy, I certainly had more money then I do now since I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis at the end of 2017 and ended up on Disability. So lack of $$ I have followed very closely with my father's teachings of the "Just make it work" principle. Being a couple years older then you (currently 41) I had already made the comment of "Work/think Smarter, not Harder" in my head with the mental picture of Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tails loudly in my mind. Then hearing you say it followed by the Duck stickers made me smile even brighter which is impressive since I've always been a rather monotone straight faced kinda guy. So thank you and I look forward to watching some more stuff by you!
Thank you for choosing to share some of your story with me. I'm honored that my video could make you laugh. Making it work with what I have is a pillar of my wood working journey. Which translates to life, and appreciating what you have. I hope you are doing well these days. I'll say a prayer for you 🙏
Chamfering the dog holes top and bottom can help to get the clamps in. I think I have watched Scott Brown Carpentry build some extension for hid Paulk style bench like those in the past. Not sure though. Parallel thinking is a thing.
Prefect idea! I'm definitely going to be doing that. Is 100% possible, I search the best I could online, but could find anything. But I'm sure some one else has done this already.
I really enjoyed this video!! A master builder that is able to share information in a way most can understand. I appreciate your sharing of mistakes- I learned a lot that will apply to other projects!!
Hello! It was fun watching your workbench build. It's the first time I've ever seen one made from OSB. I particularly enjoy the DBZ sound effects you edited all over the video. I wanted to share a quick tip for countersink holes with a forstner bit after you have already drilled out the screw/bolt hole with you! You can try to make a jig out of a piece of mdf/plywood that has a hole already drilled out of it with the forstner bit in the size of your countersink. Then, you can position the plywood/mdf with the hole over the spot where you want to drill your countersink, clamp it down to your work surface, and then use it to keep your forstner bit aligned and prevent it from wandering.
Dude! I love the extension wing idea! My shop is almost the same width (11.5 ft W x 18ft L) and have the same problem with space. I have a general 6ft workbench along one wall but no good surface for assembly and outfeed. Really dig the idea of having a modular surface, you could totally make all kinds of different wings that have specific features like slots, holes, mount points, rollers, etc. Very cool idea!
For the countersunk holes you can take a piece of sacrificial scrap and put it over the hole, drill in to that until it hits hole creating your countersink.
Check the workbench from Scott Walsh. He had the same issue with the clamps in the dog holes and had an easy solution. Just champfer the holes from the bottom.
Impressive effort. Like the frugality with OSB. The wings make a lot of sense and V2 should be a big improvement and V3 will be even better. I'm in a similar situation in trying to figure out how to manage workspace vs tool space against limited floor space. Everything is on wheels to make it easier to remodel as needed.
Thank you! I'm really glad I went with OSB first, I learned a lot from the experience. I really like the opening in the front wings. They act like a side table in the shop.
As a fellow beginner. I loved the humility of your lessons learned, and felt each one in my gut. Look forward to seeing more of your woodworking journey. Can you share a link to the leveling feet?
You know, that gap in the middle you could use a shorter bit of mdf in there and fasten it down some other way and use that as a cut channel so you can have a replaceable insert where you can use your track saw on. You might have to fabricate a hinge for your kreg track, but it might be a nice feature to add. I like the build.
I thought the idea of the removable wings was fantastic. Here is hoping you one day soon can put a really nice top that is even without shims......I find that if I have to do a bunch of extra assembly to do 1 or 2 things, I say "The heck with it" to "save time" (which sometimes make it a longer harder process.) A nice flat top with universal wings will end up saving you time and money in the future.
You hit the nail on the head, sometimes the extra work isn't worth it! Which is why I have not removed the wings since setting them up 😂. They are very helpful when you're assembling things, especially table legs.
Glad to see someone else thought about combining Ron Paulk's upper design and Dennis from Hooked on Woods modular cabinet design. I am in the process of building out my dream workshop and have designed interchangeable drawers for a miter saw station, an assembly table, and an outfeed table for my table saw. I have been using a pair of 6ft plastic banquet tables (side by side) as my cheap outfeed table for about 12 years. They work, but no organized storage underneath. I look forward to your version 2.0
Sweet bench! Get yourself an extra long Allen wrench for the levers and cut off the L portion then, chuck it in your drill and you'll have powered adjusters. Before buying any lumber at the big box stores check with your local lumber yards. In my area most of the lumber yards have equal or better product for less money. I have a hardwood lumber yard near me that sells birch plywood at the same cost as HD; the only difference is that the lumber yard's birch plywood is the old school 13 ply with a much thicker veneer vs HD's 7 ply and tissue paper veneer. Avoid the cabinet grade trash at HD at all costs. I used it to make 2 tall cabinets and they warped bad; also, after a coat of primer and 2 of paint they both have some bad bleed through.
Just came across your channel. Great presentation style and enjoyed it. It has also given me a couple of ideas for my own bench so thank you for that. From the UK (where plywood is also extortionately priced).
regarding level floors: I put rolling wheels under my bench. They can be locked in place and then ratched up or down individually so that wherever I'm using the bench I can level it.
Got lucky when I built my work bench 50 years ago. Recycled 3 pieces of 20' long ( had several split spots ) 3 by 10' where I got 3 six foot long pieces and only had to purchase two 4 by 4's for the legs. Found a rusted piece of 4 by 4" angle iron in work that I used to secure the top to the legs. Have a good size vise that does not move the extra heavy work bench. Had two large window air conditioners on top while a friend was repairing them. Put masonite on top to provide a smooth work surface.
Looks good to me, I am all about cost awareness too. One thing you might consider is adding a thin outer skin of plywood on your legs to increase strength and bending resistance. Plywood is quite good for that sort of thing.
Brother... This work bench is awesome!! Love your sense of humor. Thanks for showing us the mistakes you made. Most of all, thank you for the scripture and for wearing that shirt. Be blessed my friend and keep up the good work!!

Just found this channel, love the way you edit it and you include the mistakes, it looks a lot like my builds, and little mistakes we al make. It is and always wil be a learning curve, and for us amateurs at the end it looks better as it was build by the “professionals” and the feeling that you made it yourself….

You’re 100% right about plywood costs, I’m in Australia and it’s the same. Sometimes you get lucky and get hold of packing sheets or seconds.
I’ve built a few benches over the years and one thing that is consistent is no matter how well you build it there’s always something that you wish you’d thought of afterwards.
I’ve got a vacuum extractor attachment for my Makita router and it does save a lot of mess when hooked up to my shop vac. It’s not perfect, but gets most of it. Same with my other power tools.
You’ve built a pretty decent and useful bench.
Great job!👍🏻
Hopefully one day the prices will finally come down. I need to buy or build an attachment to deal with the mess. Right now it doesn't bother me, but in the summer time I am covered in sweat... Which just leads to the dust being glued to me. Thank you and thank you for checking out the video!
i would have suggested using melamine covered particle if you were going that route. add an edge band or glue/paint edge finish, and your bench would last a lot longer when exposed to oils/liquids that would expand the cells of the particles in the board, leading to warpage down the line. you can get around this by occasionally blocking down the work surface, or buzzing it with a sander, but dipping in the surface is also resultant. more scratch/wear resistance is a plus as well.
all these benefits for a moderate price increase in material.
Very true! I thought about using melamine, but for the life of me, I can't remember why I didn't 😅. it might have come down to the fact I had almost a full sheet of MDF already to make the top and the wings. and I don't have mel on hand for the project. I do plan on sealing the MDF with shellac and wax.
Love the sense of humor and humility about mistakes!! _Priceless!_
Hilarious! Informative! Fun!
Diggin' it Duck!
Thank you kindly! 🦆. Appreciate the kind words and you're watching!
I love your enthusiasm and honesty as you narrate your building of this bench. It's given me some great ideas for my new bench. thanks for putting this out on YT
Thank you! I'm glad you got some ideas from it!
I'm an intermediate woodworker in a small basement shop. I found this video helpful, entertaining, and most of all VERY WELL MADE. I will be watching all you videos, good luck and we're out here with you building stuff and getting better!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the support! 🦆
I love this. Gives me timber biscuit vibes.
For your clamp issue, add a large chamfer on the underside of your mdf and that will clear the hole
Thank you! Great idea, cause removing the screw each time is going get old fast!
@@fiveduckstudio Spencley Design Co. on here ran into the same problem in his "you've been lied to for years" video. Took a massive bevel out of the bottom with a 60° chamfer bit.
That seems like the only way to do it! Thanks!
That's liable to make the T-track clamps even more unstable (and possibly destructive to the worktop's underside) than is already the case. On top of that, it would reduce the depth of the hole which would drastically reduce its resilience when used with bench dogs or holdfasts. Speaking of which...
You'd probably have a much better time of it using holdfasts/hold down clamps than those slot clamps. Sure it's another thing you'd have to buy, but radically more convenient, frees up the T-slot clamps (or ratchet clamps) you'd otherwise be using, and _way_ more stable/trustworthy to hold. And as long as there's a little chamfer or bevel on the hole edges (and the holes are at minimum 50% deeper than wide), the worktop should stay in good shape while offering myriad ways to handle clamping, bracing, and jig handling, all via tooling that plugs firmly into those holes.
If you make the holes more shallow, you're likely closing the door on a lot of common options that can later enhance overall utility - at least until you go back and reinforce or rebuild the top.
You make some very good points! Thank you
You did a great job with the materials that you used. I repeatedly had issues with that cheaper material many years ago same as you experienced. So I never used MDF, OSB or Particle Board for projects ever again. I spent the extra money for the best of materials. And for me it was the right decision. I found I spent less time putting out fires and trying to overcome the limitations of my materials choice. And the end result was a better finished product.
I'm making a tool chest top now. My material for that is 2" X 9" X 8' Construction Spruce. I will make it smooth and flat. It will be burned, wire brushed and stained with bright red and blue Unicorn Spit. And finally treated with Wipe-On Poly. The edge will be hit with a round over router bit before the finishing process. The tool chest is finished except for my drawer fronts. It's all constructed from 4' X 8' X 3/4" Sanded Pine Sheets.
That sounds cool, let me know how it comes out!
Dollar tree sells shower curtains. I wouldn’t recommend them for showering but at $1.25 they’re great for glue-ups.
That an awesome idea! and would work great. Thank you!
I love that idea, thx
1000%
Great Video! For adjusting the extenstion use a through bolt that has a nut locked where it keeps the bolt top flush, but can still spin without the top moving, then you can simply turn the bolts from the top to adjust the level, instead of sticking things into it.
Awesome! I love that idea, I'll have to try it. Thank you. 🦆
It's refreshing to see a RUclipsr admitting the mistakes they've made. I'm fortunate in the Ron Paulk lives near by me in Florida. Of course, I would not knock on his door and ask him endless mind numbing questions but you've done a great job answering mine. I just subscribed to your channel and look foward to your projects. I like how you added a little of the outstakes like Fishers Shop invented.
Thanks for that I appreciate it! I have a lot of projects planned for the rest of this year, can't wait to share it with you!
I built a workbench from Ron Paulk’s plans while working as a trim carpenter 13 years ago. It’s 1/2” AC plywood with polyurethane. It’s amazingly handy and I still use it today. It’s been setup in the backyard for 4 months now while I build a shed.
That sounds like a solid build! 🦆
great video! I'm from a professionnal woodworker family and it please me to see a youtuber who shows his mistakes!
When you make mistakes you have to be a master in fixing it, and it's a part of a being great woodworker ;)
Thank you for the kind words! Woodworking is a journey....with highs and lows. But it's a great journey to be on! 🦆
In 1987 I built my workbench modeled after the heavy bench I had admired in my Grandfathers shop as a boy. I began with 6 - 4X4 legs with a 2X4 frame. A double
stack of drawers down the middle & 2 large bins on either end for power tools. For
the top I used 2X12 X 8ft long. This bench has served me well thru 3 houses &
enumerable projects. It is heavy enough to support a big vise on one end.
!
That's awesome! You've definitely put that bench to good use! 🦆
Entertaining. And that is the best compliment you can give a presenter.
Thank you! I'm glad you think so!
I made the base of my workbench the same way about 3 years ago, except I used 1/2" plywood. I liked the laminating strips and bridal joints so much that I built a sewing table the same way for my sister. For the top I doubled two sheets of 3/4" MDF to make a strong and flat top that could be cheaply replaced. Nice job, and I hope it serves you well.
I wish I would have done a 2 layer MDF top would have been the right way to go. Thanks I'm going to start putting it to the test tomorrow!
Nice work! I have a feeling it's gonna work better than you're expecting, and version two may not happen for a looooong time.
Hahaha maybe just the top... I have an idea on how to do it and one that any dog hole bench top can do... When will that happen... No idea 😂
Great build! I'm going to use some of these ideas on my upcoming workbench.
Quick tip: to counter-sink over an existing hole with a forstner bit (like you tried to do around 12:00), first use the same forstner bit to drill a hole in a piece of scrap wood. Then clamp the scrap over the spot you want to drill. The hole in the scrap will act as a guide to keep your bit steady while you drill.
Great tip! Glad you enjoyed that video!
Love your outlook on wood working. Your sense of humor is great. And your wings are .... well .... brilliant.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words! 🦆
I have learned some good ideas from this. Will certainly come back for more. I just made a workbench and then took it apart and redid it again. I dont have all the machine room tools, I am just a home DIYr, working in my room. I am going to take your extension idea to a more extreme level. I am going to build a unit just to fit the my mitre saw and replicate that unit to create extensions so I can add an extension to cut various sized cuts or a workshop bench. Each unit providing stability and working area as needed. I particularly like the side extension idea
That sounds awesome! Please share the results with me at fiveduckstudio@gmail.com or send me a message on Instagram! I would like to see what you come up with. 🦆
Nothing goes perfect the first time. The second try includes everything you learned the first time. Thanks for sharing the mistakes with the successes.

Hi from uk. So an upgrade improvement. The centre filler piece you had to fit... This should now be a sacrificial strip when doing any cross cuts with your track saw. A couple of Dogs that are in the right place for the track to push up against so the blade is over the centre of that sacrificial piece, you just might need to add those dog holes. Or.. put in a couple of threaded inserts and some blocks with bolts to drop in instead of dog holes
That's a great idea, I totally need to do that! Thank you!
Thank you for showing the mistakes. I always make errors when working on projects, and it can be discouraging. Knowing its normal helps out
Mistakes happen, it's what we can learn from them that makes them priceless. 🦆
Great build and great video! It has everything; Star Wars, OSB, near fatal accidents and round overs! Looking forward to the many projects that will be born on the new bench!
Hey Scott! How are you doing? Thank you! Hopefully no more near fatal accidents! 😅 I got a lot of projects I'm working on this summer. Can't wait to share them with you!
Regarding the extension wings. I like the second set with the lock plate, in wood working “really secure” wins the day keeping costs low and making sure all my fingers are in tact.
Can't disagree!

@@fiveduckstudio FYI, No woodworker in history (in this or any other galaxy) has ever owned enough clamps. It's a fundamental, immutable, physical law of the universe... as we can understand her.
@@fiveduckstudio If I could post images, I'd show you a picture of the massive wooden painted sigin that hangs in my shop right next to racks and a giant heep of clamps. It says in 14 inch tall words: "You can never have enough clamps!"
Very true 😂😂😂
That sounds like a great sign! I'm looking to make one that says " we do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be" 😆
Clamp some scrap above an area you need to counter bore and it will act as a guide. Best dust collection for routing cutouts is a jigsaw ;) Your wings are called corbels. Great video and project please keep it going!
Thanks for the tips! Thanks for checking out the video! 🦆
I like the work bench kooks great finished I ave seen thinking of making some shop drawers out of OSB since a full sheet of OSB is $16 and BB Plywood is $65..Keep up the good work. 😃
Thank you! Yeah for shop furniture... I'm not big on spending money on it.
I also am glad that you left your mistakes in - perhaps the best part!
Thanks! We are all learning. 🦆
I haven't laughed this hard with an instructional video, ever. Nothing like watching someone make the same mistakes you have, and offering hilarious commentary at the same time. I've been doing woodworking for nearly 50 years, much of it as a professional, but I'm now setting up my last shop, and you've offered some great insights. Thanks!

You can drill a countersink size hole in scrap wood and use it as a guide for your trying to countersink a pre-drilled hole. Works every time
That’s a great way to do it! Thank you 🦆
Awesome video… entertaining, educational, and real! The authenticity in your videos is captivating and refreshing! Well done grasshopper!!! The workbench looks great!
Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙏 I don't know how else to be but me 😂
I wanted to take a moment to tell you I really appreciated this video and it made me smile because I can relate to a lot of things here.
Started college for Forestry & Wildlife Management before switching to Network Systems and Security because I knew there weren't enough jobs for the amount of students in the classes since I had several friends in the line of work and knew there wasn't that many to be filled. Working IT, while far from wealthy, I certainly had more money then I do now since I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis at the end of 2017 and ended up on Disability. So lack of $$ I have followed very closely with my father's teachings of the "Just make it work" principle. Being a couple years older then you (currently 41) I had already made the comment of "Work/think Smarter, not Harder" in my head with the mental picture of Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tails loudly in my mind. Then hearing you say it followed by the Duck stickers made me smile even brighter which is impressive since I've always been a rather monotone straight faced kinda guy.
So thank you and I look forward to watching some more stuff by you!
Thank you for choosing to share some of your story with me. I'm honored that my video could make you laugh. Making it work with what I have is a pillar of my wood working journey. Which translates to life, and appreciating what you have. I hope you are doing well these days. I'll say a prayer for you 🙏
Chamfering the dog holes top and bottom can help to get the clamps in. I think I have watched Scott Brown Carpentry build some extension for hid Paulk style bench like those in the past. Not sure though. Parallel thinking is a thing.
Prefect idea! I'm definitely going to be doing that. Is 100% possible, I search the best I could online, but could find anything. But I'm sure some one else has done this already.
I really enjoyed this video!! A master builder that is able to share information in a way most can understand. I appreciate your sharing of mistakes- I learned a lot that will apply to other projects!!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful! Mistakes are the quickest way to learn sometimes 😂
Hello! It was fun watching your workbench build. It's the first time I've ever seen one made from OSB. I particularly enjoy the DBZ sound effects you edited all over the video. I wanted to share a quick tip for countersink holes with a forstner bit after you have already drilled out the screw/bolt hole with you! You can try to make a jig out of a piece of mdf/plywood that has a hole already drilled out of it with the forstner bit in the size of your countersink. Then, you can position the plywood/mdf with the hole over the spot where you want to drill your countersink, clamp it down to your work surface, and then use it to keep your forstner bit aligned and prevent it from wandering.
That's genius! I will remember that for next time. Thank you! DBZ!
Dude! I love the extension wing idea! My shop is almost the same width (11.5 ft W x 18ft L) and have the same problem with space. I have a general 6ft workbench along one wall but no good surface for assembly and outfeed. Really dig the idea of having a modular surface, you could totally make all kinds of different wings that have specific features like slots, holes, mount points, rollers, etc. Very cool idea!
Looks like we're in the same boat, or should I say workshop! Happy to inspire some creativity in your space.
Awesome workbench! This has given me a few ideas!
Glad I could help!
For the countersunk holes you can take a piece of sacrificial scrap and put it over the hole, drill in to that until it hits hole creating your countersink.
Thank you for sharing this top! 🦆
Check the workbench from Scott Walsh. He had the same issue with the clamps in the dog holes and had an easy solution. Just champfer the holes from the bottom.
I'll check it out! Thanks! Sounds like a great solution.
Impressive effort. Like the frugality with OSB. The wings make a lot of sense and V2 should be a big improvement and V3 will be even better.
I'm in a similar situation in trying to figure out how to manage workspace vs tool space against limited floor space.
Everything is on wheels to make it easier to remodel as needed.
Thank you! I'm really glad I went with OSB first, I learned a lot from the experience. I really like the opening in the front wings. They act like a side table in the shop.
the extensions should be handy for processing full sheet goods - good on ya!
Thank you! It most certainly will.
As a fellow beginner. I loved the humility of your lessons learned, and felt each one in my gut. Look forward to seeing more of your woodworking journey. Can you share a link to the leveling feet?
Thank you! I have a lot planned for the rest of this year, can't wait to share it with you. Here is a link to the leveling feet:

You know, that gap in the middle you could use a shorter bit of mdf in there and fasten it down some other way and use that as a cut channel so you can have a replaceable insert where you can use your track saw on. You might have to fabricate a hinge for your kreg track, but it might be a nice feature to add. I like the build.
Thank you! That's a great idea! That would really come in handy
Great work on showing the good and the bad of this project. I have seen to many "perfect" wood workers and it can leave you feeling a bit inadequate.
I know the feeling! Woodworking is a journey, we are all at a different stage in it. It's important to remember that.
You can cut a router dust shroud from a plastic bottle using a rubber band to secure it, attach the vacuum hose to the opening.
I'll have to try that out! Thank you! 🙏
I thought the idea of the removable wings was fantastic. Here is hoping you one day soon can put a really nice top that is even without shims......I find that if I have to do a bunch of extra assembly to do 1 or 2 things, I say "The heck with it" to "save time" (which sometimes make it a longer harder process.) A nice flat top with universal wings will end up saving you time and money in the future.
You hit the nail on the head, sometimes the extra work isn't worth it! Which is why I have not removed the wings since setting them up 😂. They are very helpful when you're assembling things, especially table legs.
Glad to see someone else thought about combining Ron Paulk's upper design and Dennis from Hooked on Woods modular cabinet design. I am in the process of building out my dream workshop and have designed interchangeable drawers for a miter saw station, an assembly table, and an outfeed table for my table saw. I have been using a pair of 6ft plastic banquet tables (side by side) as my cheap outfeed table for about 12 years. They work, but no organized storage underneath. I look forward to your version 2.0
Thank you! 😂 I think you're not doing it right if you never have used a plastic table as a work surface!
Cool work bench. The add on section is a great idea.
Glad you think so! Gotta keep the workspace versatile, right?

Sweet bench! Get yourself an extra long Allen wrench for the levers and cut off the L portion then, chuck it in your drill and you'll have powered adjusters. Before buying any lumber at the big box stores check with your local lumber yards. In my area most of the lumber yards have equal or better product for less money. I have a hardwood lumber yard near me that sells birch plywood at the same cost as HD; the only difference is that the lumber yard's birch plywood is the old school 13 ply with a much thicker veneer vs HD's 7 ply and tissue paper veneer. Avoid the cabinet grade trash at HD at all costs. I used it to make 2 tall cabinets and they warped bad; also, after a coat of primer and 2 of paint they both have some bad bleed through.
Well that great for you! But that is not the case for a lot of people 🦆
Just came across your channel. Great presentation style and enjoyed it. It has also given me a couple of ideas for my own bench so thank you for that. From the UK (where plywood is also extortionately priced).
Thank you! I'm glad it inspired you! 🦆
regarding level floors: I put rolling wheels under my bench. They can be locked in place and then ratched up or down individually so that wherever I'm using the bench I can level it.
That would have been the best option, but I didn't want to take away from storage space, which would have been at least one of the drawers for sure.
Always dry fit things before gluing them. That way you can change the things before it becomes permanent.
The sad thing is I did! But for some reason I decided the blunt force method was the best option... Which it wasn't.
@@fiveduckstudio I mean, it _worked,_ didn't it?
😂😂😂 technically yes 😆
Tip for @12:00 You could use that forstner bit to drill through a piece of wood, and then clamp that piece of wood in place to use as a drill guide.
I will remember this for next time! Well... Hopefully 😂
I pray broth3r 5he Lord blesses you with a bigger workshop😊.

Got lucky when I built my work bench 50 years ago. Recycled 3 pieces of 20' long ( had several split spots ) 3 by 10' where I got 3 six foot long pieces and only had to purchase two 4 by 4's for the legs. Found a rusted piece of 4 by 4" angle iron in work that I used to secure the top to the legs. Have a good size vise that does not move the extra heavy work bench. Had two large window air conditioners on top while a friend was repairing them. Put masonite on top to provide a smooth work surface.
Sounds like a pretty solid build! Thanks for sharing 🦆
I thought I just lost 21:09 of my life by watching this, but I found a positive. I liked the wings and can upgrade my bench.
I appreciate you checking out the video. Glad you were able to find a positive! 🦆
Looks good to me, I am all about cost awareness too. One thing you might consider is adding a thin outer skin of plywood on your legs to increase strength and bending resistance. Plywood is quite good for that sort of thing.
That's a good idea, Thanks! I would rather invest in tools, so where ever I can save money I will try.
