Thanks for the video. I'm a beginner and I appreciate that you show all the steps.
I love the way you finished flattening the top. I've seen the router sled method before, but using the flush trim to clean it up was an awesome idea
Thanks Kenny. I think I gave it 3 or 4 passes with a hand plane and said nope! Then I grabbed the flush trim bit and was done in a minute or two.
This video answered every question I had about building my own bench. Thanks man!
Gorgeous build!
Love it! That's the bench I want.
Dam that came out nice and clean! Excellent job.
Amazing job!!! Congrats!
Excellent workmanship!!
Nice bench! This size would be just right in my garage / shop.
i need to built one like this!
awesome work man!
Best Bench you ever created!
nice build, currently working on mine. great help
Beautiful workbench ... Congratulations!
Thanks you Marcelo!
Looks great!
Very nice Joinery. Love how you don't use any Screws to build this. It shows a skill that a lot of carpenters don't have these days. Typically it's because of speed but sometimes out of laziness and not wanting to take the extra steps to build quality and durability. Thank you for the inspiration. Great work! I'm in the process of building my own fold down bench top out of the same Poplar 8/4.
Thanks Mark! I suppose every type of joinery has its place. Good luck with your build!
Really enjoy it. Let's check wood prix plans also
Great workbench!!excellent video!!
Great work bud. We have a lot of the same tools. Building one now.
Thanks man. They get the job done! Looking forward to seeing your build.
Simple but perfect!
Beautiful job.
Nice work!
Very nice. About to build one of my own. I'm thinking of a Roubo style though.
Muito bom!!! Parabéns. Excelente trabalho.
Ridiculously nice. Been putting off building one but I've watched enough RUclips vids and think I can finally muster up the courage. It'll likely be somewhere between this, Jay's, and Mike Montgomery's LOL.
Thanks Adrian! Good luck!
Great build
That's exactly what i need. Great video- subscribed
That is an outstanding job. I subscribed, good luck with your channel.
Stella job mate.

Clean asf!
Great job! Love the work bench. Subscribed........... Steve
Excellent job on the bench. Currently trying to figure out how i want to build mine.
Well done. Congratulations
Hard to believe that only took ten minutes from start to finish. Would have taken me at least an hour.
Clearly only a matter of training …
glad to see you used pegs, see so many go to all that work and then use screws, did mine with all lap, mortise and tendon with 3/4 in. pegs, looks a lot better that way
Great work. 👍👍
Looks good. Awesome man.
Thanks Robert!
Sweet bench.
Very nice build!!
Proper job mate. I think I'll be making something very similar, thanks for sharing.
Great work bench. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Casey.
Great looking bench! GOOOO GATORS!
Nice bench build. I didn't see any hdwr used in this except for the vise. Glue & dowels, well done... Poplar is a beautiful wood to use on floors, walls & furniture, nice greenish grain & can be bought at a good price, usually. Not the hardest of hardwoods but very much a usable wood. I burned 5 cord of poplar one winter back many moons ago now, gives off little to no creosote & will effectively put out some heat for a few hrs.of burn time between loads...
Thanks for sharing your build... :-)
Thanks William.
Great bench bro
Great looking bench , nice and solid . Good job 🖒
Thanks Marc!
Your carpenter's bench was very well done, great job!😊🤝🇧🇷
I really like that router sled you're using in this video :-)
AWESOME!!!!!
Muy bien este banco de trabajo , Dios te bendiga, saludo desde Veracruz Mexico...
Great build, I'm currently working on mine with some different equipment. Thanks for sharing. HOLLAH!!!
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
Very nice work bench and this is example I am looking, I think I can do this. Thank you for takes time sharing this I very much appreciated. Have a GREAT day.
Thanks a lot! Good luck.
Nice work man!
Thanks!
very great table .
I really like it very much .
What a beautiful workbench, i want to build one but I don't have those amazing tools and much space in my garage. Maybe one day
Thanks! Work with what you got and you can make some pretty cool stuff.
Nice bench.
its sort of has traditional euro look. It reminds me of that:-) Nice video
7:06 omg it looks like it's christmas
Go Gators! Nice work on the bench.
Didn't see this comment...thanks Chris! Go Gators!
Very nice. Well done good sir.
Nice work, subscribed!
Thanks Pedro!
thats a nice looking workbench! i like the wood selection for the bench. Sturdy yet soft enough to re surface down the road
Thanks! It's served me well so far.
parillaworks Poplar?
Yup. It was cheap and available. So far I haven't noticed any dents.
parillaworks nice
Been watching a ton of these videos and yours is top notch man! And you have a very impressive arsenal of tools!
Thank you Dylan. I very much appreciate it.
This woodworking book *TopFineWoodworking. Com* contains a great deal of details about woodwork. There are some designs in the book but it is primarily explaining the procedure of how to do various things and what tools to use to accomplish them. In general, this book fulfilled my basic desire to learn about wood working.?
2:15 sounds like a TI-Fighter is flying by :p
Great video! Love your content
You have my dream shop
Very Nice Workbench looks really sturdy as well. should last you a few years that. Nice Joinery methods as well.
Well Done on one Excellent Build.

Thanks Barry! I appreciate the comment.
Go Gators. Love the video and the bench.
Thanks Paul. Go Gators!
Gotta admire anyone who spreads wood glue with their bare hands & works heavy lumber in flipflops 😜
That was what made me think this video was done by an Australian. 😂
nice work
Safty shoes mate!!!
Muy buen trabajo, felicitaciones, muy prolijo
Gracias!
Very nice looking bench! All the joints look spot on and all surfaces nice and smooth! Are you enjoying working on this bench? Thanks for sharing!
very good job
Sua bancada de carpinteiro ficou muito bem feita, ótimo trabalho!😊🤝🇧🇷
Nice video
Nice!
Can you send one of those to Australia it’s a ripper love it
Nice bench!
Thanks Jay! I'm a huge fan.
Jay Bates did he buy your plans? Or just copy your build
I don't understand why people like to make a real nice bench like this. Don't they get destroy in the process of constant abuse? Even the Japanese just sit on floor and hand plane thing on the floor.
Moe7133 nothing wrong with building something nice to work with. People buy nice vehicles every day and they get abused and depreciate quickly. This bench will last forever.
I suppose once you destroy the bench through use, it's a tool and not a piece of furniture, then you just build another.
Found you on Reddit and subscribed. Great video. Keep them coming.
Thanks Bryce!
thanks for sharing the video
nice video and nice bench. If Jay Bates gives it a thumbs up, its got to be good :)
well done sir
Awesome job on the bench! I just subbed to your channel.
Thanks Joshua!!
Nicely done, In a car garage that is making use of the space.
great job!!
Thanks! I know this is a few years old, but I'm in the middle of my first bench. It's similar to yours. I was looking for a video that had the same style of base. I'm worried it won't be sturdy enough, but after seeing your end bracers I'll keep on with my plan. (That's what I was going to do too)
Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@parillaworks thank you! My legs are 4x4, and I cut large dados for 2x4s on the sides like you did. I want to do the ends the same way your is but I'm worried the 4x4s will not be as sturdy. Too much stress on them. ?
I think 4x4 would be pretty solid. The legs in this video are something like 5x3 or so. The stretchers are bit beefier than a 2x4 but it should work just fine.
@@parillaworks thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Have a great weekend
Great video.
Might there be plans for this bench?
Good job... now ima need you to come build me one
Complimenti bel tavolo. Fabrizio 🇮🇹
Muito bom, parabéns
The bench was a luxury. congratulations!!! For me to have a parameter you can tell me how much you spent on material to make the bench. I would like to make a comparison with the values in Brazil. Thanks.

Damn you got some cool tools, so much cheaper in the US than in Australia
Can I ask - the wood facia against which the inside of your vice is mounted - did you attach that to the underside of the table top also and if so by what method? Thanks - great build.
Nice Background music 👍
Next time you've got 10 mins to spare let me know. I need a new bench. Awesome job.
sweet!
First time I've seen a poplar work bench.
Poplar would not be my first choice.
It’s held up ok over the last 4 years. Definitely taken a beating but it’s still solid. I would say the biggest downside is that it’s lower density makes it a bit light compared maple or ash.
That is one sexy bench
Yeah you guys already have all the big tools and a workshop. What about a video using just hammers, drills, handsaws, nails, screws, tape measure etc? This is just showing off what you have!
Great bench! I've never actually seen many poplar workbench builds. I'm surprised there isn't more, as its probably the cheapest hardwood (other than maybe Beech here in Europe) and it is probably well suited to a bench as it isn't too tough. Maybe its the green tint that puts people off?
I think it's a little too soft for most peoples standards. I don't mind the softness and the price was right. The bench top has some dings but they don't bother me much/
My sister in-law requested that I use poplar in a dresser build I was doing for her and her husband; even to my warnings that she wouldn't like it. The dang thing turned out awesome. I used the greenest boards, with the most appealing grain, as the drawer fronts. Looks really sharp to this day. I made that about 10 years ago. Used oil so it would darken as time passed.
Poplar is paint grade. Its very uniform and stable wood for but it doesn't take stain very well.
But for applications that get painted like finish carpentry or for practical purposes like work benches, its is a good Choice.

I think it's very poplar.
:D I'll get my coat
This is an awesome table. Great job. Are the plans for sale by any chance?
Muito bom 👏🏼😎🇧🇷🇧🇷
wow that's a lot of maple it's the top made from Poplar though nice work though brother
Love your vids and your work! What size and kind of router bit did you use to level your top? I'm about to build a drop down table top and this would be helpful. Like the front vise. Will probably incorporate one into the table top.
Thanks! It's a Freud straight bit. 1.75" diameter x 0.75" tall and 0.5" shank. You don't need something that big but if you're only taking one or two light passes, it can save a bunch of time.
