Building The ULTIMATE MECHANICS WORKBENCH on a Budget
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2020
- I set out to build the ULTIMATE MECHANICS WORKBENCH, and how to do the whole thing on a budget! 3" thick, mounted on 1/4" angle iron with all the attachments and features a monkey with a tool box needs to get some real work done.
In part 1 we will be assembling the table top and getting everything cut to size. It sounds like a small task, but if you want a table that will last generations, there are a lot of step. We were able to purchase all the materials for this step for only $60!
In subsequent episodes of building this table we will focus on leveling and sealing the top of the table, mounting legs and well as a vice, and making some custom modifications for welding on the table... So Stay Tuned!

good trick my dad taught me: save your saw dust and organize it by hard and softwoods. if you ever have to do a repair on something, mix up a thickened clear epoxy with the sawdust and you can make your own color matched wood filler.
Getting those AvE vibes :D
It is hard to watch that man work and not have a bit of him rub off on you. What a legend
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 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-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.
Those Leathermen multi tools are amazing. Every guy should have 2. One to keep on their person and the second to leave in the RAM BOX on the ‘ol Avalanche.
This guy GETS IT!
This is exactly the type of work bench table my brother needs in his shop a do all shop table mechanic/wood/welding working shop table
The best wood is morning wood
All depends what you do with it
@@DEInTheGarage lmao
@@DEInTheGarage Only when you are young!
Nice job - and I liked your slide method!
Yeah buddy!!! Awesome.
Hell yeah! I loved Wranglerstar’s workbench build, can’t wait to see this one be finished up.
Thanks buddy
Very heavy duty!! Good job so far!!
I'm definitely going to do a project similar to this with my dad as soon as I can. It'll be the perfect first project to haul in the truck he's had for 15 years that he'll be giving me soon.
Sounds pretty awesome man! Good luck with the project and with the truck
That's a lifetime bench, great info!

It almost felt like an episode of the New Yankee Workshop. lol......
HAHA.. I need one of those classic flannels tucked in to some wrangler jeans
Awesome work
Thanks for sharing 🙌🙌👍👍👍👍
I was screaming at you but you weren't listening! You should have planned it so you had most of the extra on one end so you could use it somewhere else! It would have required 2 additional clamp rods, but that's a small price to pay. Nice job otherwise and it should last forever. A totally wet rag cleans off most of the extra glue and reduces sanding quite a bit, especially on the underside so you don't have a problem with the legs fitting flat. The wet rag will allow the extra glue to help harden the surface, but will show up when you add the finish unless you sand extensively. Who cares with a workbench that's probably going to get soaked with brake fluid, ATF, and other stuff. Boiled linseed oil will penetrate better if you warm it before applying. This comes from a bench I helped my Dad build.
Thanks for the tip on the finishing, bud. Unfortunately the end on all these pieces were pretty rough, so taking from the middle was the best way to get a proper table.
@@DEInTheGarage Yes, I remember my Dad and I hand picking 2x4s from a whole pallet-load to get the best ones. They were all premium studs to begin with.
So what you were saying at the start was, your “workshop” is like nearly every bloke in the world, a home garage. 👍🇦🇺
Minute and a half in to the video and I already love it. 🤘
Thanks buddy!
I made one of these a while back and using the same method I used a roller to the glue, but YOU ONLY APPLY GLUE TO ONE SIDE. It will hold better and you'll have much less to sand/cut. I also put a 40' piece of 5/16 steel bent down 3 inches to cover one end with 3 bolts in the side. It's been an amazing work/welding table.
Awesome 👍 the cut off pieces could make nice end tables or night stands.
yadda, yadda, yadda!!
Great job. But if you want the (ultimate mechanics workbench) go to a sheet metal shop and have them cut and bend a sheet of stainless steel to wrap around it.
I’m getting old so what I’m about to say, you can roll you eyes 👀 but you sure look like Aaron Kaufman.
You made a great looking table! Outstanding!
A roller for the glue is the way to go
AWSOME job…I really wish I would have seen this first before w made mine…just finished today and where it will do the job I wish I would have done the same as you did yours…I watched what felt like hundreds of videos either they were just to advanced or not advanced at all…but kudos to you and great job on explaining in great detail Ty..
Love your cemetery, I mean commentary
I did my 12ft bench like this 10years ago. You could drop an engine block on it. Only downside to a big bench, it turns into a big shelf.
Haha... Any open surface, right?
Excellent job and great idea to pull the 2x4 together! Solid bench! I'm building one similar. My only suggestion to the video would be to cut your 2x4 to a shorter length before assembly, but enough off cut length to allow a circular saw to fully sit on its Mitre plate. A router would finish that edge beautifully or you can run a Facia 2x4 90° to the end cuts and picture frame it gluing and fastening in of course.
Just my 2¢. Very smart using the threaded Rod.
Great Video
So much of AvE's lexicon in this video
I need to make 1 like this
Much better than Wranglerstar's video of making a very similar bench!
Haha.. Thanks buddy!
That is going to be a great work bench. Good luck with the rearranging your garage. I try to do mine at lest once every three months.
Yea, almost has to change with the seasons
Hey, BTW. I saw the new Rubber on the ZJ. It looks awesome!. Also saw that you will be laid up for a bit. Hope you feel better dude!
If you have a paint scrapper that will scrape that glue off the bottom pretty easily. Nice work.
The Jimmy Jam Garage
Lookin good man. Way more effort than I put into for a workbench
Way more than was really necessary, but screw it..
D&E In The Garage no such thing as overbuilt just under built
@@TheBeardedJeeper That sounds like some awesome old timer advice. I might steal that to justify the 1/4 angle iron I am using for legs on this thing
D&E In The Garage haha 😆 yes! Definitely the way to go. That bench will survive an atomic bomb 💣
It bother anyone else that he wasted a spray of pb blaster....lol loved the video man I'm a new wj owner here so I been binging ur content
Minnnnnt! 👌
Thanks bud!
Good golly I hate home Depot wood! Ya really gotta eye it down when you select your lumber. Everytime I say I'll never go back to HD for wood but I always do. Haha.🤦♂️
Yea man. I went to the lumber yard a while back and it was about 3 or 4 times the expense. Uncle Jerry needs every break he can get on these projects, so bring on the twisted center cuts!
Well happy birthday to me. I was sitting here half an hour ago thinking “I have a 4x8 sheet of OSB in my garage with nothing to do with it, and I don’t have a work bench. I want to build one but should I use 2x4s?” And lo and behold you just posted a video doing exactly what I was thinking.
You got it bud. Did this one just for you. haha
Good video, lets do a drinking game. Drink every time he says "Jimmy Jam" or whistles! LOL
Very nice build. I can’t imagine how much it weighs 😂. Built to last though
Well, look at that. A nice table top and you have some leftover Fire Starter For the fireplace or campfire isn't that great Although the dust all over that their vehicle Isn't the greatest.... Amateur hour.... lol
Nope.... that was some real amateur hour stuff. oh well. Atleast it wasn't the wife's car!
I built a brick beam with all thread rods for my fireplace forty years ago. Put washers between each brick and then black mortar. Carried it in from the garage. Still there.
That sounds pretty awesome!
5:30 Good for picking up oil mistakes, because those never happen.
Thank you for giving us a price breakdown... too often i see these great projects and then go start pricing them out and realize they’re way out of “reasonable” price. Yours is very reasonable
I am with you. It is awesome seeing what these full time youtubers can do with unlimited time and funds, but I need more practice stuff. "reasonable" was the marching order for this project.
Do you have a list of what wood and size and how many you used if ok cheers
youve been sippin a bit to that vgg lately ! ave has been on a visit 2 im guessin and your work is pretty damn nice if i may say so ! cheah !!!
I have been trying to cut back on the VGG references... did I let some slip in this vid? It has been an active effort to stop stealing ole Derek's comedy routines
@@DEInTheGarage hey ,its all good , we all do a bit of exchange onthe channels we like , thats just a way to give respect to a fellow tuber ! i felt a bit of ave also and a bit others but thats fine , really ,as you see i like bakerxderek and salute his cheah as its an fun expression ! take it easy and make a nice table so you can keep up the good vids , i havent been able to do much lately so my channel is a bit dead.
Do another video on the garage!
8 ft i think is better than 5 ft could have built storage at both ends more space going up
Somebody's been watching wranglerstar and vice grips garage. LOL.
Yea, Wranglerstar's bench was one of the handful of designs I took in to consideration when building this one. I did not like how he applied the glue though. Seemed chaotic. Wish I had his finishing skills! His table is a masterpiece
Not cheap anymore ether, lumber from the Hodypo?
Make another avalanche video
As soon as the weather agrees, I will.
Jimmy Jam it hoss
At 2:58, do you have another pair of gloves real similar to those?
So funny you should ask... I do!
🤣🤣my dads a master mechanic. And I picked up wood working... do a little automotive and metal on the side...
HAHA.. the skill sets got together it just comes down to a matter of preference., I guess. Good stuff!
Did you get this from wranglerstar? He just finished a series on a good workshop table
I did not get the idea from him, but I did watch his videos as part of my research for my own
I take it you're an avid viewer of AvE's videos judging by the lingo? =)
What ever happened to the Red Avalanche??
It is still around, but took a back seat for the winter. We will be hitting it hard this spring and getting her running
#jimmyjam
#aintitgrand
whats up with the avalanche??!!!
Hibernating for the winter. I promise it will be back soon
where do you live
New Jersey
It’s May 2021 and each one of those sticks is $10
Probably shouldn’t play with your wood on camera lol totally not the correct channel for that.
Whoops! That is for the D&E after hours show..
D&E In The Garage the bottle of glue belonged on the after hours show lol.
get to the point.
