In this video I'm showing you how I built a very easy workbench for my garage! This is an easy 2x4/plywood project that can be built in an afternoon and utilizing a lot of scraps. It's so nice to have a place to tinker, and keep tools, in my garage now.

Hi April - That link appears to be broken - tried to access on 08/03/2022
Just found your video. Plans not free when I clicked on the link.
Is this still free?? It's so awesome! I was not able to see it....
@@kenshaffer7387 Hmmm. I just saw this and tried it and it worked. Please try again. Oh, the Plans were free for awhile but now there is a small fee for them. Thanks for watching.

Nice, simple build! The only thing I might suggest is putting a lip on the overhead shelf. You sure don’t want vibration making those paint cans walk forward and fall on you! Thanks, April!
Women are THE BEST at teaching HOW to build stuff! Thank you!
Cool design. I like how the upper shelf provides additional storage in normally unused space. It would also be a good place to mount a light.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Yes, that would be a great place for a light. Thanks for watching.
This is gonna be an awesome edition to my garage! Thanks for the idea!
Two things I have learned in my many years. 1. No one sits at a workbench in the shop. Raise the table top up between navel and sternum. 2. Like you have done, make the work bench top easily replaceable. I restore cars so after a few years of oily parts, grease and hammering out bearings the top needs to be replaced. I usually use a full sheet cut in half and making the top a double layer. Then you can just flip each layer over when you want a new clean top. It last a lot longer until having to drag another sheet home. As always, your videos are the best.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.
It depends on the type of work you do, I sit at my bench all the time if I'm doing detailed work.
I built this exact workbench 4 years ago for my 90 yr old father. He couldn't stand at a workbench anymore, but really wanted a workbench again. He loved it, and spent hours sitting at the bench. He kept it in the spare bedroom of his house. It was one of the best gifts I ever gave him. He passed away last year and I have the bench back. I made the bench so it can be disassembled. I also added a LED shop light under the top.
I always sit at the workbench.
This indeed a simple DIY, great job "I am a professional!" Lol
Loved this project. As a woodworking wanna be, this is really my first project, my husband has had to makeshift horses and use his saws on the garage floor. This was a beautiful set of instructions! We did a similar build in about 3 hours for the build. We will add the pegboard behind the bench on another day, but appreciation to you for sharing your design! We didn’t have 99” of width space so we came up with our own plans but couldn’t have done it without you! Enjoying your other projects too!
Some really good tips in this video. Glad I decided to watch before I started building mine, the small overhang for clamping materials down is a really clever idea I wouldn't have thought of and probably tried to invent a workaround later on
This is crazy. This looks exactly like the workbench I've built for myself some 5 years ago. The only difference is I don't have drawers at the bottom, but I have installed lights under the top shelf. And also a swiveling shelf on the right for a speaker so I can play music while I work, and rotate it to depending where I am in the garage.
Nice. Very simple and economical to make. I love it when the item you are building is already being useful before it is finished! Some folks with smaller spaces may find it useful to put casters on the bottom so they can reshape their workspace as needed, roll it to the middle of the garage when the car is outside, or roll the bench outside to do the dusty work. Locking casters would be useful for that. Say howdy to Texas for us.
Every time I watch Aprils video, I learn something new.
What a wonderful simple idea with the screw in the bottom of the feet. To have them to adjust the hight.
So simple, and so cheap solution.
That is a brilliant idea.
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Every garage needs a simple workbench. I think this one is a great starter. nice simple 2x4 construction with some practical tips along the way. Thanks for Sharing!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
I built a very similar work bench, a few years ago. And use it, for something every week. Added shop lights really helps me see better. And a air compressor & hose reel, was fitted to go underneath. A Large bench vise was the best addition.
I wish you'd been in my life, back then! 😥😁
I LOVE April's videos.!! She is awesome!!
Nicely done Miss April - Looks great, and is very functional. I like your approach to adding the outlets - you can never have too many when putting them by the work bench. Blessings to you, your family, and your crew.
Thanks so much!
Thank you April for taking the time to do this. I'm sure it was rewarding for you, but it has also been very helpful to me as well!
Great timing, I was planning on building a workbench like this, thank you very much for the free plans.
This and the storage shelves are SO helpful for my 2022 basement re-do!
Really nice Workbench! Bolting a Good Vice at the end of it would be another great addition. Great Job!
awesome job April. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend April. Keep making. God bless.
love this type of videos simple and straight foward like a real content creator
thank you so much
Workbench very nice. Great job my friend.
I'm a brand new DIY Woodworker and was excited to build myself a suitable workbench for my first project. This video was awesome and made my build a success. Thanks so much for your clear and thorough walkthrough!!!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Hello from France Ms Wilkerson.
Another good moment watching your work and tips
Stay safe and take care.
You and 731 woodworks is all I watch. I love yall!
Aloha, April. Thank you so much for including free plans for this workbench. I’m gonna build this - it’ll be perfect for my big shop reorganisation project! (with my brand new sliding miter saw! yay!) 😀
Thank you for the content. The best diy workbench. you are able to add on in the future. We cannot ask for more❤
I am SOOOOOOOOO impressed!! 🤩 I can't wait to put together my own!!! Great work, April!!! 💪🏾
Thanks! Enjoy the build. Thanks for watching.
this is so awesome! I'm building out a new workshop and i only have roughout carpentry equipment, this is great for someone who doesn't have a fancy shop tool with planers, jointers, and table saws. I'm so excited, I wish I had seen this tomorrow morning so I could get started!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the build. Thanks for watching.
That's a good project easy , fast and usefull thanks April👏👍🇫🇷!
This is exactly what I needed! So glad to have found this channel! Attempting to build this work bench this holiday weekend!
Awesome! Enjoy the build.
"I'm a professional." 😂. Immediately subscribed.
I really like this. it's super simple and practical.
Excellent. Fast bulit, sturdy functional. Easily customizable. Simple is good.
Glad you like it!
Clean, efficient, and solid. I like the top shelf, wish my space had one. Thanks
Nicely done April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Nice. Well done. I would have mounted the retractable extension cord up high, on or close to the top shelf. With a few well placed J hooks coming down from the ceiling you can string your extension cord across the garage overhead and avoid a trip hazard. I did this in my basement shop and it worked out well.
Wonderful idea April! Thanks!
So glad I found on the Tube. I need a garage bench but tight on room, I will build this but maybe a bit smaller. Thank you April.
Glad I could help!
Yes! Finally another solidworks user.
Very cool series covering easy shop fixtures within the skill levels of the home DIY-er! I'm sure the high ceilings and limited square footage of most home garages means that upper shelf will find some storage uses, besides being a handy place to hang a workspace light. Not being as nimble as I used to be, I can no longer do that 'acrobatic April dismount', much less stick the landing as skillfully you did 😎👍, or even get up there very easily. It occurs to me that attaching a scrap of 2x4 across those 2 back verticals like a ladder rung (on either end or both), midway between the lower shelf and the top, would allow someone to step on the shelf with one foot, the other on the rung, and then onto the bench top, with the upper supports providing a firm handhold.
Love the idea with the top shelf, great video.
The lag screw tip is brilliant especially if its for self use
Struttura semplice ma ben organizzata... Complimenti e brava.
I did some research into this, while April is the face, muscle and talent of this channel, the little doggie is the mastermind of this entire operation! Notice how he/she is always walking around innocently in the background acting like a disinterested dog just smelling things, but is actually keeping and eye and barking out procedures and instructions to April.
Nice Build, simplicity and functionality all in one. I love to have a peg beg board for my tools, so this is great. Just moved into a new home and looking for a design for my 3rd garage soon to be come shop. Excellent, I love it..."and your little dog too"! Thank you!
Thanks! Yes, my dog is a ruthless Supervisor to be sure! Keeps me on my toes. :) Thanks for watching.
This gives me so much confidence that I can do it myself! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Afterwards the satisfaction of looking at what you made is fantastic. Enjoy the build.
Love watching your videos. You're amazing and very talented. I like to see that you're incorporating the software into your planning. I used a very similar program when I went back to school for CNC machining. Please keep making excellent videos.
Thank you so much!
Right on April . Nice job
Nice bench, simple but so practical. You make building look so easy. I love how you explain all the details with easy instructions
Glad you liked it!
About 10 years ago I built a workbench very similar to this. I've disassembled it, moved it, and re-assembled it four times now. I like your version better, especially the top shelf. Looks like it's time to upgrade!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
Good job April...I'm fm Indonesia 🇮🇩 always loves to watch your channel
Wonderful mind & thanks for sharing your ideas!!!
Love how simple you make this!
Glad you like it!
NICE AND simple... great job
This awesome wish I had these skills trying to get started
What a fantastic human being
Fabulous!
Thank you for the idea about the rolling draws under the bench. Looks like I have a new project
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I needed this SO much! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
@April, you used lag screws for adjustment purposes, but I think carriage bolts are a better option. The don't damage your floor and you can move them around just a bit easier. Still adjustable though, you only do need a threaded insert... but still... 😉
Nice and simple workbench. 👌🏻
Thank you for this simple project video. As always you provided great tips. I really like the quick useful projects with your insights and advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Oustanding work, you are one of the kind not every woman would go and start a project like that or at least feel confortable using tools , love the content keep the great smile.
Thanks! I didn't always feel this comfortable with tools. Starting out, I knew nothing so thoroughly researched each project, starting with simpler projects. I built on my experience and learned from any mistakes and now, I feel I can tackle anything. Thanks for watching.
Thanks , your AWESOME
Perfect just what I was looking for. Thank you for the plans! Love how you have the boards color coded. Makes for an easy build. Thanks April 😊

One step at a time. Take your time, rewind as many times as needed. Enjoy the build. 8 yrs ago I had never touched a power tool. If I can learn, anyone can. Thanks for watching.
Hello April, thank you very much again for everything and specially your joy since I follow you few years back already.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
You go girl!!!!!🎉

Great! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for posting! And thanks also for much of your recent focus on outdoor builds and garage space upgrades. I just bought a house with a bare bones garage and a huge barn, and several of your recent vids are very timely and will come in very handy. Thumbs up!
