I've been watching many videos on how to make such a flip top bench. Many are very good but usually there is some aspect that I feel is a more complicated than necessary especially for a beginner woodworker like me. This one, however, is perfectly pitched at my level. This is the one one that I plan to build very soon after finishing off another project. I will enjoy making this. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry me again haha. Im new to pocket hole joinery and have the UJK pocket hole jig. At 3:07 it shows on your jig max thickness off 38mm. Well my 2x4s are 45mm thick as I assume yours are pretty much too. My UJK jig allows for max thickness off 36mm. I joined two pieces of scrap 2x4 together to test and it worked fine but didnt seem the strongest hold and was using the longest screws I had in the trade pack I got witht the jig. My question is what are the cons of using thicker material than what it states it can handle and how do you know what length screw to use. Thanks and hope to hear back from you. Cheers and great vids 😃👍
I had the Longer screws for this I think 60mm buy can't remember. You can add wood glue for additional strength. But as you can see my workbench is few years old, travelled from UK to Poland and its holding just fine on the screws only.
@Casual DIY Thanks for the reply. Yes i used 60mm too so even though they didnt exit the piece dead centre they probably fo further in to make a sufficiant hold. I will use glue where I can but like you I need to beable to take it apart to a degree incase I move it. Thanks for the info. One more thing have you a link to them clamping/positioning squares you used to make sure everything was fastened together square. Any reccomendations? Thanks
@@CasualDIY ahh yes I should look properly first before wasting your time 😄 Dziekuje , I’m from Lithuania but live in uk I’ve used a lot of your tips and tricks in what ever I’m doing so thank you for that 👍
Nice bench. You probably used a lot of bits you had lying around in your workshop but What was/would be the approximate cost? Looking forward to the completion videos.
At 7:14 I notice how the legs protude from the top frame a few centimetres. What is the reason for this or have I missed something. Thanks and great build 😀
@@CasualDIY Thanks very much for the quick reply. I have been wanting to build a flip top mitre saw bench for a while now an this is the best video ive found on youtube so far and I like the design especially the adjusting plates to get the top perfectly level. Ill be building mine longer resulting in two comparements either side of the mitre saw compartment and have 12 legs instead of 8. Im going to use sketchup to design it first. So thankyou for more than a great starting point towards my goal. Youve got yourself another subscriber 😀. Thanks again.
Looking really good buddy! You have put a lot of thought into your making your bench and I'm sure it will serve you well. Look forward to seeing the progress!!
Hi, had few emails on this to get the cut list etc. At the minute I don't have plans I could share with the public. Over the weekend I will update the description of this video and the flip top as well. With the cut list. If you drop me an email I'll try to make some usable plans for you. And everything I share on my RUclips channel is available for free mate. My email is casualdiyuk@gmail.com
@@CasualDIY Right ok. Just wanted to know actual heigh and depth.Im making similar one but smaller and I cant decide on height and depth as my workshop is much smaller then yours. Im assuming its 78cm plus castors or no ? Also depth 76.2cm right? Thank you Regards
DAVID Duxbury I think a lot of people don’t read the title of the channel, and think everyone needs to build a split Roubo bench with a leg vice etc to have any credibility. I don't have either the room or the physical ability to make any such bench and though I enjoy the videos showing those builds Tomazs's makes much more sense to me. I think his entire approach is much more in line with the vast majority of us working in a small space with tools from the less expensive side of the market. I think he is far more inspiring than any £100k plus shop as he is very real to me...and who can knock his infectious enthusiasm and honesty?
Sorry to have to say this, I like this idea BUT THE DIMENSIONS DON'T WORK. The long length of 177cm does not equal the sizes for the ply! That adds up to 163cm ! Why?

I'm glad that you liked my project👍😁
Excellent and professional video Tomas, thank you. Just what I need.
Thank you for watching 👍
You always put your heart & soul into what you make mate, really looking forward to your workshop upgrades as you go, cheers mate 🎥🎥🔨🔨👍👍👍
Thank you kindly my friend. I always try my best. I can't wait when all the workshop projects are completed and they all cone together nicely:)
Looks great! It's exactly what you needed in your workshop. Look forward to seeing the end result!
Thank you, yes it's perfect for my little workshop 👍
As always, it's nice to watch you work.
Thank you kindly 😁
Looking good so far. I am interested to see how you tackle the flip top portion. Staying tuned!
Thanks. Got an idea hope it will work👍
I need this for my small shop. Thanks for sharing.
No problem and thanks for watching 👍
Looks like that's going to be a great addition to your workshop!
I hope so 😂 to be fair still a long way before everything is completed but at least I can see the light in the tunnel 👍
looking very good a very useful bench
It's not even finished and it's proving to be just what I needed in my small workshop 😁
A great share. Thanks mate.
Glad you like it 😁
Looking forward to part two
Thanks😀 it's coming out soon 😉
The workshops looking good... Nice build mate
Thanks 😁
Thanks for your workbench tutorial, what diameter is the steel tube?
Thanks, it's 27mm 👍

@@robcheetham4370 sure, here are similar to mine amzn.to/3REKIAm
or something bit more fancy - amzn.to/3l31XPk
Thanks. I got the faithfull ones in the end. All good so far 😀
Nicely done, thanks for posting.
Thank you kindly 👍
Czesc Tomas , how many 4x2 and 3x2 did you use mate ? My shed looks the similar size to your workshop, cheers mate
Cześć 😅
There is a cut list in the description of this video. Hope it will help👍
@@CasualDIY ahh yes I should look properly first before wasting your time 😄 Dziekuje , I’m from Lithuania but live in uk I’ve used a lot of your tips and tricks in what ever I’m doing so thank you for that 👍
@@BE27E glad to hear it 👍😄
Nice bench. You probably used a lot of bits you had lying around in your workshop but What was/would be the approximate cost? Looking forward to the completion videos.
So far the cost is for 5 times 2x4s and 4 studs plus one sheet of plywood and obviously some screws. The price will depend on where you live.
At 7:14 I notice how the legs protude from the top frame a few centimetres. What is the reason for this or have I missed something. Thanks and great build 😀
Hehe yes well spotted. That leadge was created for a back that I was planning to add to this workbench but it never came to be.

@@robcheetham4370 glad that my video was some help. Happy building and welcome aboard 👍😁
looks great and solid ! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you kindly 😀

Thanks mate, I'm not the best when it comes to designing things but I try 😉
Just found this great channel how do you download the cut list?
Hi and thank you. The cut list is just the text in the description of this video I'm afraid
Looks awesome as always Thomasz!
Thank you kindly:) it's all possible thanks to your great tools 👍
Exvellent 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you kindly my friend glad you liked it 😀
In your cutlist did you amend the measurements for the two boards you had to re-install on the frame?
Hmm that's a good question I need to check that
top: 20" x 30" (1- 51cm x 76.2cm) and 22" x 30" (2- 56cm x 76.2cm)
Do you have plans to work off of? Doesn't matter if they are free or not to me. This looks like it is worth a few bucks.

What are 3 types of wood?
Use Google it will tell you all you need to know
Hi
Any chance to tell me overall dimensions of the workbench ?
Thank you
Hi. The whole cut list is in the video description👍
@@CasualDIY Right ok.
Just wanted to know actual heigh and depth.Im making similar one but smaller and I cant decide on height and depth as my workshop is much smaller then yours.
Im assuming its 78cm plus castors or no ?
Also depth 76.2cm right?
Thank you

👍👍👍👍👍👍
😁
No glue between the joints of the timbers???
Not on this build. I need to be able to take it apart. But do far had no issues with it. Very sturdy 👍
What are the holes for on the sides?
Just for easier clamping 👍
What do you mean by T1 and T2?
Just gave a name to boards with specific sizes. So below I don't have put the board size just T1 or T2 respectively
One jealous person up till now giving a thumbs down, sad
Hehe there's always the one, you can't please everyone mate 😉

where is your accent from ?
Hehe I'm Polish mate👍
I thought those hole were going to be for a wood vice when I saw a later video oops!
Hehe you never know I may still adjust it as just bought a vice 😁
