- In this video, I will be making a multipurpose workbench from 2 by 4 and plywood.
All my woodworking plans gumroad.com/di...
Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. I keep two toolboxes underneath for my most used tools. Being able to hang drills and measuring tapes on the side is very handy. My favorite part is being able to store tools I want in the shop, but do not want to build a workbench for. The T-Track on the side works great for holding materials. This workbench is made from 3/4in plywood and 2by4. Get the plans here gum.co/gfKwe

Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. It's simple, but really makes an impact. I have plans if you would like to build to the spec I have. gumroad.com/diycreators Thanks for tuning in!
For a future project, could you build a collapsable work bench? I don't have a ton of space in my garage but still need a good sized workbench
Buen proyecto amigo
Great ideas and, true to form, some unique ideas. The only thing I'd add is an electrical station to plug in tools (you may have done this).
Brilliant workbench and thanks for sharing
Ian, Birmingham, UK
I appreciated your time and effort into this and I like all the little things you did to make this practical!! Awesome video
Great build ...loved that jump...lol , maybe a centre support cause it flexed abit. ..not that you'll probably need it...but yeah, thanks for educating me...
Visual for "where I'm at" is very helpful. Haven't seen that very often in videos.
Seriously though, it's extremely helpful. I wish more creators had that in their videos
Yeah that's a great idea.
+1
Game changer. Hell, even if you had a list in the corner that you checked off each step in a procedure as you did it, that would be amazing. Hmmm.
@@BigBlack81 no thanks. That would ruin the video.
POV: By now you've watched around 50 videos of how to build a work bench, yet you're still sitting here and wondering how the hell you're gonna do it owning only a drill and a hand saw + 10 dollars on your bank account.
That was a stroke of genius clamping your speed square to the top frame to line your legs up. Brilliant 👍👍
I said the same thing as I watched. "genius"
Thought the same thing!
I would never have thought of that ! Brilliant !
Same here! I made a note of that for all my future projects. The garage floor slope has frustrated me to no end.
My favorite part of video
Finally a sturdy and easy DIY bench that DOESNT require a planer. Too many of these "Beginner" diy workbenches the first step is planing all your 2x4's to have perfect edges. You did a great job and made a great bench for those of us who only have a circular saw and drills.
I usually skip the entire video if it says DIY and uses any advanced tools like Table saw, planer, router etc. Those are not for me.
@@elfyjohnson261 Yeah lots of diy videos for a "simple" workbench requires some tools that not everyone has
There are so many things I love about this video. Scripted, No blabbing on and on, well organized, diagram shows where you are, great ideas and tricks, tasteful non-destracting music. All this = subscribed!
Well, my complements on being fit enough to make the “jump”.
Your production values on the video are excellent. This one is a must view for anyone building a workbench.
Thanks Glen.
Thank you a million times for this. I built mine in 12hours this passed weekend for under app bucks. No tool cubby or tracks but I will be adding a moxen vice from a kit. So I got the man design from here and did it myself. Not easy being disabled but I am proud of this bench. Thanks for the guidance man.
Hows it coming along?
past weekend
Wow! Really appreciate how you can pack so many clear intelligent and common sense design and construction suggestions, tips and design elements into your short well designed videos. Thanks much.
Using the speed square to align all of the legs is a game changer for me, I never would have thought of that
"I'll have 7 of the 8 boards screwed when only 4 was required" hahaha yeah same man. That where I'm at is a really sweet addition to your videos!
Isn't that normal? That's every project I do. 😆
The realest shit ive ever heard
It means you were probably in the "Talented & Gifted" program in grade school.
Really love how you describe the pitfalls and show little tips with humility. The graphics in the top right are an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing.
Hi I'm 13 and I watch a lot of videos of builders, engineers, and scientists on RUclips it is refreshing to see a black engineer of my own rase on RUclips
Your feed is so what I was looking for. Detailed instructions, in which I applaud. Since I am a female and more than 60 yrs, I need details on an awesome incoming enhancement to my paradise workshop. Cheers!
This bench is right at my skill level to make. I love that jig you used to drill the angled holes for your joints. That bench looks quite strong, & doesn't appear to "jiggle/wobble" around when leaning into work with some stout elbow grease. Thanks for sharing this creation!
First time watching your stuff; as soon as I saw the "where I'm at" model in the top right, it was sub at first sight.
Same
Thought you should know, I watched several videos to determine what my workbench will be like and yours is the closest to what I built. Watching it over again and having it in use for a couple weeks I realize how important 'accessories' are and will begin that this weekend. Very much appreciated and I love watching your videos.
Patriot DIY also added T-Track to the top of his table build. I think I will it on the end and top! Thanks for the video!
Back in my day junior high we had wood, metal and ceramic shops .. I am so sorry I did not spend the time then that I should have in the wood shop.. after watching you put together your projects is pure inspiration!!
Subscribed BECAUSE you get to the point, and while you narrate all the way through, the information you verbalize is clear, concise, and not annoyingly redundant as with other youtubers. You actually inspire. You would have made an excellent teacher, well, hell, you ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! I've tried watching other dudes instruct on how to build a work table, but I mostly cannot get through their rambling presentations as they either have no clue how to communicate, or they are maddenly hyperbolic to distraction. Your design is well thought out, your execution is precise and skillful, and it's gratifying to watch you add various touches and incorporate practical features. I watched til the end because you made it interesting.
love it! the speed square for installing the legs was really clever!
"CAREFULLY throw things on it." ...love that part!
I'm a year into carpentry building decks with an old man. Your channel is definitely helpful for us newbies who want to learn more
Best, easiest designed, most thought out, useful workbench design I've come across. I have never built an official workbench because I have never thought one was useful enough. Today you've changed my mind thanks!
Fantastic job as always, extra bonus the "Gymnastics jump"
Semper Fi
Another great video. I enjoyed the "where I'm at" visual.
Dude you're an excellent teacher! Love your videos. You definitely think outside the box
I like that speed square leveling tick!
I've just found this channel and have to say thank you - you think practical and smart, not expensive! I CAN build a few things I want with the tools we have, rather than one of everything in a tool shop.
Not only was this an educational video, it was fun to watch. I’m getting ready to build a new workbench so I’ve been watching lots of videos for ideas. At this point I am going to use your video and plans for this new workbench. You’re an awesome teacher. You’re very creative. And it’s obvious you know what you’re doing. I’ll be back to watch more of your videos in the future. Thanks a lot.
Love DIY videos that get to it and show great detail without having to watch every screw get drilled in. Nice work. I might even make this thing.
I appreciate the small tips and tricks while you go through the process. Good stuff man
Love seeing the T track part, I really didn't know what or how people used them or determined where to place them - this really works and replaces a big bulky vise.
I built this for my shop and absolutely love it. I left the tool tracks off but otherwise followed it to the letter. It's a great sturdy bench and I can't imagine being without it. Thank you!
You rock! Love the “where I’m at” graphic.
14:05-I was like “Whoa!!!”
Mad ups, my man!
The "where I'm at" is so cool. I didn't realize how helpful it is until I saw it in this video
I have watched a bunch of these workbench builds on RUclips and this is BY FAR the best one....1. It is the best construction. 2. It is simple. 3. It is laid out and EXPLAINED incredibly well done. Thank you very much!!! I have an order to build 16 tables just like this only 30 inches wide and 8 ft long for a clothing company at an outlet mall. I will do it just like this. I also love your beautiful chop saw layout, clean and efficient...doesn't look ANYTHING like my workshop....lol
Just made this exact table using this video. Thanks for posting!
Glen, I love this work bench especially the tool holder shelf, the angle iron tool holder and the t-tracks on the legs. I'm building a bench this week and next and I plan to include two tool holder shelves and t-track on one leg. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Man! That "where I'm at" icon is brilliant! Great job on the bench.
yeah, that is something that I don't see on other channels. It's great.
This is my favorite workbench build video to date. Lots of innovative ideas I never thought of. Great job!
OMG, you must have heard my hubby complaining about how much he needs a workbench 😄 This is perfect! The T-tracks are an awesome idea! And when you were talking about what colour to paint it, I instantly said black top, white legs so I was close 😂
I love Do-It-Yourselfers'; a DIY man after my own heart. This type of video is where I get all my ideas about my own hobby, building & flying RC airplanes.
You gave me so many ideas 👊😎…. Mounting hanging and magnet strips. 💡 I have these things in my garage 💪😎 Thank you man 👊
Sir, I have throughly enjoyed every single video you have posted. Your creativity and attention to detail are second to none. You inspire me to get back into woodworking. Perhaps soon. This work bench will def be on my list. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!
I could not have found this video at a better time! I am just now getting to where I can make a mobile workbench and this is the perfect example for my application. Thank you so much for your detailed and on topic video!
Keep the good work going!
Love the “Where I’m at” icon. That is a great idea and had me subscribing in the first minute or two.
Glen, it is just simply amazing…thanks for sharing.
Having to make one shortly great table. Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Like the table top fastener makes it easier to remove for damage or change set up. Going to make shelves on both sides to store tools.
Right on time. Time to listen to your video while falling asleep in Australia. Keep up the sick work dude.
Jeremy Maclou Just in time for this Aussie to wake up to listen to while waking up Upovah 🤫😉
I've been watching a lot of your videos and just soaking up everything I can. My projects have been getting much better and a lot faster than I thought they would, thank you DIY Creator :D
This was fantastic. I thought the "where I'm at" helped understand the components you were building, I thought the explanations were great and the hints along the way. I would love to have the space for a workbench like yours.
I’m a registered architect, builder and regular on many DYI craft channels. This is the first time I’ve EVER commented, liked, subscribed, ring the bell and like a video (for whatever that’s worth). But this video was so well put together I just had to do it. I can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos! Thanks for going through the trouble of creating such a detailed video.
You are a hero! Love that you jump on it do press ups ect just like me when I test if its "done"
Applying some of the elements to a garden cart. THX. Great video.
I really like the "where I'm at" graphic.
That’s is a cracking build mate, the moxon vice is a really good idea.
Great video! I especially like the idea at around 3:50, where you used the speed square as a level surface to mount the legs. That's a fantastic idea!! I just bought a bunch of new woodworking tools, and now I'm in need of a decent workbench. This one fits the bill quite nicely!! Thanks!!
Nice design and execution! Watching you work makes me realize I need a lot more clamps in my shop.
This is the exact build i had in mind when i started building mine.....like a year and a half ago.......and still just have the top done, and the legs built. This will help a lot. Thanks!
Excellent build, got ya a new subscriber!
Enjoy, some of the best vids out there...
Im glad you subscribed, my privellege is killing me, he is so smart and we are so stupid, it's because of our privellege, we need to send him money
Hey bud fancy seeing you here lol
Just the right amount of detail. Getting ready to build a new one (moved) and looking for ideas. Some great ideas and build technics, thanks!
This was a great walkthrough. Would be nice if you went through tradeoffs and different options you considered before doing the build.
I don't know what's more impressive, the workbench or that jump unto the workbench at the end lol. Great idea, simple to follow and full of tips. Thank you
Love this bench. Built over winter vacation. Put the shelf on the side opposite from the T-tracks and went with a blue/black color scheme. Added a pegboard/shelf docking station with under-counter lighting.
Really like this. My question is at the end how many takes did it take to jump on it perfectly lol. Love your videos
I just found your channel today. This is some quality content, Sir! 😁 I look forward to seeing what you produce next. Also, that quick tool storage section you created would've been super useful for some of the projects I've worked on in the past. Awesome idea! 👍
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Your channel is an inspiration for me to create a channel with similar contents. I hope that you look at it and give me your comments. Keep up the good work. Stay blessed and stay safe!
i'm new here, i'm honestly impressed, these videos are instructive, i'm just doing my first wooden tool table. the next table is for a miter saw, and I drew sketches to combine the table, THEN I saw your table, that's it, that's the dewalt table. 😊😊
Like the idea of plywood for the coasters to screw into instead of multiple end grains.
"wood working is very useful", "for what?", "creating work benches of course."
But you don't need a workbench if you're not going to do woodworking. Right?
@@anselmoffrisia2930 workbenches all the way down
I like to think of it as the “creation station”.
The tricky bit is making your first workbench. Gotta borrow one from your bro or some such so you have somewhere to make yours.
Of course 😄
I would have made one change: retractable casters
Didnt see any sharks with lasers either...
Thanks for a great workbench idea. I should have written this a few months ago. Since I first saw this video, I have built one for my garage/shop, and three for my sister-in-law. I am starting another one today. These workbenches are solid, strong, and give me all kinds of options for using it as a workbench, or a place to store water bottles, and gas cans. The fact that it is on casters is also a BIG plus! Being able to roll it around the shop, or combine with my other workbench for a big project, makes this workbench very versatile. I even used your concept and built a 'heavy' outdoor 'heated' habitat for our community cats. The pocket hole jig that you introduced in the video sure makes a strong and solid structure. Thanks again for your creation. I would recommend anyone interested in building a solid workbench, to give your idea a try. They will not be disappointed!
Very very smart! I probably won't build one but this gives me a lot of ideas on storage and flexibility when I buy one.
That is the best workbench I've seen! I have to make one just like it. Thanks and God bless!
This workbench is the truth. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to share examples of this and other ideas you inspired. Keep doing what you’re doing Homie.
BROMEGO! Thank you. Just built my version of this and its perfect. The casters were such a good idea.

Where has your channel been???
Finally somebody that’s not an idiot showing people like myself how to do DIY correctly. Thank you sir. Do you have a new follower!!!
Glen, you’re awesome! My father is a disabled Veteran and I didn’t get a chance to do these kinds of projects with him. Watching your channel gave me the confidence to improve that skill set and make him proud. I can’t say thank you enough. 🤘🏻
Excellent instructional video. I love the way you use modern clamps, jigs, and cordless tools to achieve old school results.
Dude, I like this work bench. I might follow this plan when wood prices come back down! Thank you for sharing this!
this is legit! I love the built-in adjustable clamps!
I was looking for work bench ideas and ran across this. Can’t believe the dude is just hopping up and crawling on everything to put it together, definitely my style and I’ll be snagging some of these project ideas.
Man, I love everything about it, this is how a RUclips channel should be, so enjoyable and well put together
Absolutely perfect pattern for lots of things I need to make: planters in front and rear garden using treated timber, workbench in large garden shed, kitchen island in house. Thanks from London, United Kingdom
The speed square support for the legs to keep them level is blowing my mind. Nice trick.
Ive never seen youtube video made so precise. Where I am in upper corner, complete list of materials used. Perfect.
It's on my list, I'll be making my 1st serious workbench. I'm currently using a worx pegasus and a 3x4 table left behind when I moved in 27 years ago lol. I'll watch this again. It fits my criteria for my bench simple, strong with the ability to add accessories or holes or a track system.
currently building one for my work space and will pause to incorporate some of your fantastic ideas...the verticle T tracks will be added ! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing your projects with your viewers!!! I would love to see a video of you adding a table saw to your work table.
This video is a game changer. Just moved into a new house and it’s go time. Thank you, sir.
I'm sure its been said multiple times, but that "Where I'm At" que is the most amazing idea I've ever seen. Very helpful for a novice woodworker like myself. Keep up the amazing work!
This is by far the most thoughtful instructional video I've seen on building a work bench! From the "Where I'm At" window, to filing down the corners of the aluminum track, to reinforcing the end grain on the legs for the casters... you can absolutely tell this guy KNOWS his craft. This was super helpful and I can't wait to adapt this to my garage!
I really like the "where I'm at" graphic in the upper right." It's a helpful feature that I don't see often.
Excellent build. Excellent video. The "where I'm at" feature is outstanding and of course the box jump at 14:04 made the difference!
Your work bench is perfect for beginners like me ! I have watched several videos on work bench building and wow ! Some are way to complicated and others way to cheap made! Yours hits right in the middle and is perfect for me! Thank You very much!
Love the progress of the project in the upper right. "Where I'm at" is a great way to understand what you're doing and where you are in the project. Love it.
Great design. Being able to clamp down something while you work on it makes a job so much easier. Those casters are icing on the cake!
Good job. Glad to see the safety glasses. Appreciate the tips.
Why did you not have the bench top over hang a few inches to allow for clamping?
Sometimes people cut a shoulder in the legs to give the table more strength. This way any weight on top is supported by the shoulders instead of the screws. Love the "where I'm at" visual in your video. GOD bless! 🔨 🗜 📐 🇺🇲
