How to build the ultimate work bench solution. 
Хобби
Seriously, one of the best work table ideas I’ve seen.
Thank you very much!
“Only 2 cars garage”? I know I’m picking on words. But you really live in paradise.
Yes, I am very blessed. I meant in comparison to a designated work shop.
One thing I think that stands out with your table, is the tools are actually at appropriate heights for being used. As in all tools are at the right height to utilize the table as feeding/outfeed surfaces. VERY well done IMO.
Thank you! That was a very important part of the design.
That is very true super well engineered for sure
The bandsaw is the one that reallyu captures my attention!
Amen to THAT! And, absolutely NO ONE talks about that. And, while the “right” height, can be somewhat subjected, it would be nice to see someone talk about the height, and relation to other tools, as a subject in and of itself. This young man did a great job with this.
Am I missing something? Why does that stand out? How would it make sense to not have these things level with the table?
This is one of the most efficient, logical and awesome workbench builds I've ever seen. Very impressive!
Awesome, thank you! Thanks for the feedback.
I’ve seen a lot of these benches in the quest to build my own. This is by far the best I’ve seen. It checks off a few issues for me. Dust management, compactness, multiple tools, just to name a few. Well done sir! You’re light years ahead of the other benches I’ve seen so far and I’m not trying to take anything away from those other folks hard way.
Awesome, thank you! 👍👍
"only a small 2 car garage" - oh to dream! :-) Great build, might see if I can adapt for me 1 car garage.
Thank you, and yes that sounded bad. I'm very blessed and grateful to have the space I do. I meant as in a comparison to a designated wood shop or professional space.
Frankenworkbench
I like it!
@@phillipreborn no problems my friend, my comment was good humoured. Although I'd still love a bigger working space!
LOL! My same sentiment!
I want to see how the dust collection systems works. Love the build! Need to get one of these together for my new barn. No benches yet. Working off of saw hoses and plywood. Lol
Thanks. Coming soon!
Great job!! That had to take a long time to figure all that out. You should patent that table!!
Thanks!
Love seeing a guy bustin it out w/ the garage open and dark as shit out... i too am the kinda guy that will NOT go to bed until the JOB is done!!!
😁 Thanks!
The fold-down miter saw is perfect.
Thanks!
Great workbench. Well thought out and versatile with a place for multiple tool. Would be overkill for my needs. I like the large work surface but I would only be needing the table saw and miter saw. I'm thinking though I could build a bench like that and add the other tools later. I have a small shed turned shop so I'd build mine to fold up against a wall. Very good work and video.
Sounds good. thanks for watching.
Very cool! Wish I had room for something like this. But my garage is for parking vehicles first, storage and work space second. So, I wouldn't have room to store something this big. For now, I'll just have to keep everything separate and do things the harder, more time consuming route.
Thank you!
I'm sure you are loving the extra space and increased productivity! Being a retired design engineer I am very impressed with your work, one of the more functional wood working stations I have seen to date.
It is very convenient using the work bench and all the milling stages. Thank you!
Love this... Awesome idea, and still have a flat surface to work!
Thank you, maximizing the work surface was a must!
Fantastic project! Gas lift springs would be a good safety add on, prevent lowering “mishap”, (more me, than you). Thanks for sharing. Now, just need to get everything, and buy some time and skills...
My pleasure to share the build. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I really love this design and as I am getting my 2 car organized for wood working, this may be what I am looking for! I did have an idea for the miter saw dust collection: build some sort of hood behind the tool and use the vac hose for it. I thought of that while watching as I am thinking...wait....I see an update video. I am gunna watch it then delete this if it covers that. lol
That is a good idea. Miter saws really do need a hood style dust collection. Something collapsible like a tent comes to mind.
Super impressive buddy, you’ve gone beyond the call of making something so diverse as this unbelievable workstation & ticked all the boxes, great work 👍👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate the generous compliment.
Very cool build, I am impressed and would love to build something like this for my one car garage shop. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, I appreciate that. I hope you do build something for yourself soon!
This design is awesome I love it, although that vacuum won't be strong enough I imagine
Thanks! It proved it was not :D
Glad to see all the Ryobi love in your shop. That brand gets a bad rep, but I find them to be good little tools for the price.
Thanks, I agree. Of course higher quality tools would be better but they are decent for their price. They've got a lot of jobs done for me so far.
Man, this has really inspired me. Great design and thank you for posting!! I’m gonna try to come up with a similar set up for my needs now. This is truly great!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, lots of thought and insights went into this build. Awesome work. Who thought about building the band saw into the table and stead of sitting on top of it! Fantastic.
Thank you very much.
well done I will steal a lot of these solutions for my bench!
Thank you! Glad to hear.
Really nice design. Wish I would have saw your video before I made mine
Thank you! 👍👍
absolutely amazing!.....even after watching it 3 times I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it all.
Wow, thanks!
This is one of the best designs I’ve seen. A really good job. Thanks for sharing 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks mate I appreciate that. Its my pleasure to share the build. Cool country you have there, I hope to visit someday. Have you seen the RUclipsr "Self Sufficient Me"?
I love the this build idea. To have the the miter saw and the table saw on the same table is fantastic. Drop the table-saw's blade and you've got your self one wicked miter saw table that's 8' long.!
Stow the miter saw, and you've got a 4' wide table saw, that has at least 6' beyond the table for run-off. And it has casters for crying out loud.!
I do like how it turned out. Thanks for watching!
Excellent job young fella..
Thank you sir.
Ingenious design! I'm in the same situation where I have (half) a 2 car garage for my workspace. I've been researching bench builds that incorporate my table saw and at least 1 other tool for almost a year now. If I can get over how daunting of a build this is, I might have to give it a shot. Definitely earned a follow.
Thank you very much. It was a time investment but totally worth it.
Hey buddy, firstly great job! Secondly, that outcome (the workstation) comes from well identified issues, thoroughly thought out problem solving and execution with serious detail. It’s a monster and if only I had that level of thought, ability and skill. Thanks for the vlog, definitely inspiring.
Thanks I appreciate that! If I can do it I believe anyone can. You already laid out the process very well. 💪
This is awesome. I neither have the money, nor need to make this. None the less, this is cool as shit and the special kind of genius that looks simple.
Thanks for the feedback.
NICE!!! I have one like it I built about 12 years ago now Mine doesn't the flip up parts though as I was looking for maximum number of tools. I didn't include my tanle saw but have my chop saw, router, duel grinder wheels, skill saw, panel saw, multiple power strips, built in full top vac system, and several other tools as well as bit storage one each leg, dog hole system, supply storage as well as sheet goods storage under bottom to reduce clutter in my6 small shop. And to think mine came from the need to use a old scrap pile I had off in a corner of my then cluttered shop. lol again very nice build!!!
Thanks for watching and sharing. Sounds like a neat one.
The creativity here is amazing. Great work! Will be buying those plans to build one of these myself.
Awesome! Thank you!
The placement of your jigsaw is awesome and must steal that idea. Lol
I'm glad you liked it.
I have a 10' x 20' shed. Along the walls were my miter saw, drill press, band saw, sharpening station, shelving for additional tools, lathe, compressor, vacuum, trash receptacle and in the center of the shed was my table saw with workbench/outfeed table. No room to maneuver. I saw a video where this guy was set up in a shop and had three tools concealed on hinges to swing up for use.
I gave my brother in law my table saw and workbench and built a bench that housed five tools, band saw, drill press, grinder, miter saw, and surface planer. I used a 4' x 7' birch plywood top with 180 degree hinges to conceal my tools and vacuum. I bought a portable table saw and sold the attached rolling/folding stand, making a box with drawers to support the table saw independent of the bench and housing a router table between the fence arms so that I could use the fence on either tool. To support each of the five tools I used 3/4" plywood hinged to my bench frame and aligned them so that the surface planer and miter saw table was in line with the bench top.
I made a plenum that I attached to the shop vac that allowed me to select which of the tools received the vac suction.
Door hinges supported the fold down tools and we're also attached to 3/4" thick triangles to swing under the tool supports when using each tool.
I also added drawers to house small tools and supplies and accessories under each tool. I have not yet completely enclosed the sides of the bench yet, that's next.
Sounds very similar. How are the 3/4 tool supports holding up?
@@phillipreborn no problems, I used door screws to mount them to my 2x3 stud cabinet framework and made triangular hinged supports that swung under the horizontally hinged tool support and just raise the tool high enough to clear the vertically mounted triangles.
@@phillipreborn great, I used standard door hinges and 3/4" triangular supports.
The concept and execution of the magnetic vacuum plates was on point.
Thanks! 🧲
Great job, thanks for doing this. I've got a larger shop but it has multiple work areas (Glass, metal and wood) and this is exactly what I needed to create my separate areas and have my separate setups with my tools... Genius! Well done sir.
Thank you very much! I'm glad it may have given you an idea or two.
Absolutely brilliant! I have limited space and would love to build something like this in the future.
Thanks
Thank you! Post a short when you do I'd like to see it.
Where in the hell was this video a year ago when I was building my work bench table. Nice job love all your tools in one place to work with.
Was but a wee thought back then. Thank you!
well done!!! thankyou for sharing. I now will start on my design. thanks again.
You're welcome. Go for it!
Yes, this was very inspiring! I am in awe of the great design work & your ingenuity. It’s given me more to think about than being shot sighted in trying to solve individual workstations. Very well done. This video is greatly appreciated.😊
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. Glad to hear it inspired an idea.
Awesome build. I have a similar situation of a small shop. Would love to see the plans once you get around to it. I love your ingenuity.
Thank you I appreciate the generous compliments. Here is a link to the plans and a link to a video that elaborates on them a little. www.etsy.com/phillipcreative/listing/955545412/simple-4x8-full-shop-workbench-plans?Copy&ListingManager&Share&.lmsm&share_time=1614306374860

AWESOME idea!! I know what my next project will be.
Go for it!
I love the free hand plunge with a fixed base router! Like a BOSS!
😂
This is a great design. I've seen several done, but I really like this. The one thing I would change if I were doing it is how the casters function. Having them move independently will most likely cause the racking and eventually send the unit out of true. If you use a piece of angle iron or square tubing to connect them, it would cause the end to go up or down in unison rather than each corner by itself. Other than that, I think this is an excellent design. Well done!
I've though about doing that just haven't got around to it yet. That's a great idea, thanks!
Lol did you see the bending of the table when he was testing is? Just, ouch
AWESOME build! I love the hand-drawn old fashion planning too. (and I might add, I'm incredibly jealous of wherever you live that you can work outside at night with your garage door open and not get eaten by mosquitos!) - Rock on bro!
Thank you I appreciate the feedback! NE FL so we have our fair share of mosquitoes certain times of the year.
Or by the neighbors )
Genius! Well thought out and well made. Just what I'm looking for!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Over all...genius space saver...I think I like the bifolding lid on the end...I'm certainly interested in the dust collection
Thanks you and thanks for watching.
This is SO SMART. 🙌🏼
Thanks!

@@phillipreborn Dood !!!! I would like to invest in what you have done. Every man wants that. Not sure you line of usage for that, but you can stop right there and tweak that baby a little more, not that i think it needs it but for mass production worldwide. Big Bro hug, You have solved 1 mystery of the world. Proceed to the Billionaires lane.
As an engineer over all a great design, but i would take advantage of the gap between the hinged tops that i did on mine.
Use a router t-track bit and route the gaps for a t-track hold down system.
the only other is the absence of a vise. An end vise instead of the top mounted type with dog holes is a great add-on to any bench.
Thank you and thanks for the input. I think those would be great features.
Incredibly well thought out and done. Kudos kudos. A total inspiration
Thank you, happy to hear that!
Swiss Army Bench! Fun to watch and get inspired! Great job!
Thank you!
Wow 👏🏻 next level man! Really need to get something like this built for my garage. This has to be one of the most creative workbenches I’ve seen to date. Subbing and looking forward to more content!
Thanks a ton!
Nice job. Tip for you... When enlarging a hole from a hole saw, put the size you want on the arbor and then add the size it is now. Should be enough room to thread them both on. Now just put original hole saw in and the bigger one will cut the hole larger. This is especially useful when the center of the hole(s) needs to stay put. They pop apart fairly easy with a screw driver after. Enjoy.
Thanks for the feedback and the tip!
@@phillipreborn anytime
I had a tablesaw bench a few years back (3ftx 6ft, i did something similar to what you did with the miter saw, except I attached the hinges to the front edge . The top hinged backwards and there was an I screw on the bottom. where I attached some paracord.
When you lifted the top It would lift the miter saw up, and when you flipped the top all the way over, it would hold the miter saw up, and 'perfectly' flush with the top of the bench.
It was actually my first table saw, and I had only really been woodworking for a few weeks before I started the project, which only took me about 6 hours (tbe table was already built and i was retrofitting the miter saw into it)
Sounds good.
I've seen a lot of similar types of builds. This one is hands down the best. Design, simplicity, and utility surpass the rest. Awesome build
Thank you for that!
There's no way I could work like that; having to setup and breakdown every tool as I needed it would kill any desire to build anything. Kudos for working through it!
Also, I've watched a few videos with builds like this bench and this one struck me as one of the better ones!
Thanks I appreciate that.
@@phillipreborn Still giddy as a school girl over your design. We all want that 4 x 8 mobile work station. I see great things for you. Add on lock in sectional pieces. I have to calm down. You have the ball, now run with it sir. Good luck and hurry before someone steals your....hmm...you need a catchy name also.
Wow! That’s very impressive! Good work man.
Thanks a lot!
I honestly thought that the way you were describing the Planer vacuum that it was going to be a mess but I was wrong, pretty clever design that looks tidy
Thanks!
People who disliked this are just jealous of your ingenuity. It's a great Workbench.
Thank you. :D
Wow man this was incredible!!! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content. I’ve never seen someone have so many unique and creative solutions in one build. Are you an engineer? Amazed man!!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! I would like to be an engineer but no I am not. I got a lot of ideas from youtube then adjusted them to what I needed and the tools I had.
I hope you patented these plans and are talking to a tool company about selling them your idea! This is amazing!!
Thank you!
Nice design. Love the vac system.
Thank you very much!
I bet the neighbors are loving his mini garage saw mill running all day. BUT A 1 JOB ON YOUR WORK STATION.
Thank you very much! Sadly I don't run it as often as I'd like.
@@phillipreborn I couldn't think about running a saw, my neighbors would be calling the H. O. A. the police the Mayor. They have nothing to do but watch, listen and report. Can't wait till our house sells and I can build a shop and get as far away from the granny gestapos as we can. One question for you, if you had a chance to buy a 2k radial arm saw for an incredibly low price would that be something that would be useful or something that is taking up space? Thanks for your reply, your work table was incredible, going to make an exact copy in about 5 months when my shop is built. Take care!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I also have a small shop in a two car garage that I have to standup and take down. This seems to be perfect for my needs as well. Now to see if I can actually build it LOL. Liked and subd! 👊👌
You're very welcome! I appreciate that.
I'm very new to the craft, but I've been looking for a not so difficult way to create a work table/tool storage. Like you said accomplishing this will be fun and full of lessons lol....Amazing job
Super impressive built. Only thing I'm going to add is that I built mine similarly in terms of framing and rough length and with just a 12" miter saw in the middle, that front lower 2x4 started sagging after about 9 months. I jacked it up in the center to take out the bend, then sistered 4 layers of birch to the front and that seems to be holding it for now. So watch out for that with this one and maybe consider beefing up the bottom 2x4 under the miter saw when you start noticing it.
Thank you and thanks for the tips!
Great idea with the magnetic dust collection. I really like the ease of connection that provides and will likely be adding that to my small shop.
Glad it was helpful!
I like it I think it's neat forget a beautiful job I like the way you fixed it up and it made all the storages and things in place I'm going to try to make one myself too bad I don't have the plans and make it easier
Thank you, plans are available on Etsy, link in description.
Great setup! I've been looking for portable inclusive multi-purpose (p.i.m.p) benches like this for hot minute. 📏📏📐✂️
Haha, thank you!
I know this is over a year old now, and I love the design as I too suffer from a 2 car garage. Some of my machines are older and therefore heavier, I think some incorporating some Gas pistons / Lift supports would help me with smoother (and assisted) lifting of the tools.
That is a good idea. If its in the budget I think that would be nice.
Kudos for the woodworking and imagination. As a retired design/builder, would have been glad to have hired someone this thoughtful with attention to detail.
Thank you very much!
YOU BUILT A GREAT WORK SPACE FOR YOUR WOOD WORKING, GREAT IDEA BUB.
Thanks 👍
Nice work man! This was very well planned out and neat!
Thank you for the generous compliment.
Amazing job. So clean and functional. Being able to move this station outside is a game changer!
Totally agree! Thanks.
This is awesome! I wish i saw this a couple days ago. Exactly what I am looking to do. I just got my base built and I am measuring my tools now.
Thank you! Go for it!
Awesome, man! A lot of cool ideas such as the magnets. Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
That is really good...now you'll WANT to build stuff as it ll be a pleasure to do! No criticism, but I guess the compromise is a "divided" worktop, with all the gaps, but you could put a fresh board of ply or MDF on top for assembly if needed...I will defo be using some of your ideas😀👍
Thank you! Absolutely, it makes building things more efficient which makes the experience nicer overall. That is a good point. I still have my small work bench too but I can see how that could be an issue.
this is amazing! I'm curious, if you could go back to the drawing board, would you move the plainer to where you intended the router to be and vice verse. I saw (see what I did there) the fence of the table saw could block large board.
Thank you! That is a great option to move the planer. For what I needed it made sense to keep it next to the miter saw and share a vacuum tube with the router. The fence on the table saw is removable. 👍
What a great set up. Never would I have thought of that. I have a small garage and this would be very handy.
Thank you very much.
Glad you eventually changed from flip-flops to at least sneakers (adults concerned with safety doing the work your demonstrating wear boots), but then there you are again with the sandals on!
Clever concept, design, and final production are augmented by the appearance of competence with safe procedure. Sandals and shorts don't sell it.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Boots would have been a better option!
I have been watching these types of videos for over a hear and this one by far meets everything I was looking for. Love the concept and thank you for sharing your ideas. Do you have some type of a power trim helping you lower the tools? I assume it's not just gravity, correct?
That's awesome, I am glad to hear that. If you are referring to folding the tools down it is just gravity and man power for now.
I like how you say "the moment you've all been waiting for" and then step into the shot with no shirt. Well, you're halfway there 👍😈🤭
Haha, funny how the timing worked out there.
What? He was talking? 😂 I must have been distracted.
All kidding aside, I'm finishing my workshop now and the space is smaller than I would've liked to have had. So this has really been inspirational. Fantastic job!
You free balled that router dust collection recess like a boss!
😂Thanks!
I all seriousness I need to make something like this. We have a two care garage that doesn’t fit either of our vehicles. I would normally say that is a dream but space is at a premium!
(and my Dad just gave me his Dad’s/my Grandpa’s jointer that needs a home)
Ok, you climbed into my head and solved the puzzle. I have all these tools and have been wanting to do something like this but didn’t have all the details worked out yet. How about I fly you down to Florida and you help me knock this out? TY for giving my brain a rest.
Thanks. Glad I could help!
Beautiful build. It’s been a few months, I’d be very interested in knowing how the dust collection worked out. It seemed to me to be woefully underpowered. Other than that, I dream of building this table myself. *****
Surprisingly the bucket head does pretty well except on the miter saw. A little more power is always better.
p.caballero_creative do the magnetic connections work well with little to no air leakage?
Truly outstanding idea and well built. Lots of thinking and imagination put into practice. I wish I have the time. You did not say anything about the small Homedepot vacuum. Considering all the connections and lines you have supporting all the tools I don't think it would of had enough suction. You still have he space for a more powerful vac. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Yes, indeed there is room for a more powerful vac. I feel you on the time demands you just got to chip away at it. As you can see from the shirt changes this was over several non consecutive days.
Using the leftover knockouts from the electric boxes! You are speaking my language there!
They were perfect for the task.👍
All this impressive shit and dude’s got a Kobalt miter saw. Guess it proves that the tools don’t make the carpenter.
Thank you! I agree even though I'm just an amateur.
I've used a really small Kobalt moter saw and one of their 18 or 20 volt (not sure which voltage they claim, even though they're all the same) drills, and I must say that I was very impressed. I've had nothing but crap experience with their hand tools.
Don’t work with sandals. You gotta protect your beautiful tootsies.
indeed
That sir, is one helluva set up. Great job. Your magnetic vacuum duct solution for your planer is brilliant!
Thank you very much for the generous compliment.
I can tell that you spent a considerable amount of time, seeing how each tool could properly function at the same level. Great concept and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Oh, man! You engineered the crap out of that. Awesome job. Great ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you very much! Anytime.👍
Great job. Very neat and organized. Looking forward to seeing the projects you will work on. The shirtless part of the video will get you a lot of attention. Take inspiration from Jamie Olivers the Naked Chef. :)
Thank you!
This will solve most of my garage shop problems! Thank you for sharing is build. 👌
Happy to hear that. You're welcome!
It gave me a couple of ideas for the mobile workbench I plan on building, but structurally I think I will do it a bit differently.
Sounds good!
0:20 _"I only have a "small" 2 car garage"_ Ouch, that stung a little bit. Here I am with a one car garage :( All my tools have to be stored away, but I developed smart ways to store them. I think I will add casters to my workbench, so I can move it to the center of garage when working on projects. My dream is to have an oversized 2 car garage, then I can build a workbench like yours. The tool fold underneath is genius!!
I agree that sounded bad but I meant in comparison to a professional designated wood shop. The casters are great. Having the ability to move it out of the way or in the center for more working space is a must. Thanks for checking it out!
@@phillipreborn No worries. I like your channel and love this workbench.
I think, this is one of the most creative things I've seen in a long time on RUclips. You should patent this design and probably commercialize it.
Thank you, I probably should. :D
Free handing router circles is quite the skill my man! Wow!
Thanks but it was actually a bit with a bearing guide.
Absolutely love this!! This is a marketable design, for sure. Definitely will be working on something like this for myself!!
Thanks. Go for it!
You have given me much to consider for my project, which is fairly similar in the goal of a flexible workspace for a small area. Thanks!
Glad to hear. Thanks for the feedback. If I could do it again I would have incorporated a better space for the vacuum. In my case there isn't much clearance left.
