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!
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I have watched a bunch of butcher-block type workbench builds but I wanted to just use a good 5/8" Plywood. Yours is the one that impresses me the most with a top that can be swapped out.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 😂
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!!
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
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.
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'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.
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!!
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
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
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.
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!
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.
Dang, son…. That is AWESOME!! Thanks for all the cool tips! Your “Where I’m At” graphic is SO HELPFUL! WOW! Next workbench I make will definitely be based on your design. G [hey, buddy, don’t forget SAFETY GLASSES!] 😊 👍🏼
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!
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!
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!
I’ve watched my fair share in woodworking video’s on RUclips. You are the only person I’ve seen literally jump onto their workbench to do the customary strength test
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.
This is perfect for my new house where I only have a Garage to work with; but can move the table out to the patio undercover when we need to house the vehicles. Legendd.
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!
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! 🔨 🗜 📐 🇺🇲
I rarely ever leave comments on videos, but am making an exception for this one. When you said that you easily get distracted when doing repetitive tasks, you had me hooked:) My shop is in total disarray right now and you have inspired me to use this bench as a starting point. The shelf used to "throw" tools stuck a cord with me, since that is a MAJOR problem of mine. I also have never seen T Tracks nor would I have thought about using them. However, I will be ordering them today. Thank you so very much. This looks like it is not only within my wheelhouse of skills, but doesn't look like I'll have to break the bank to build it.
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.
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.
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
Like the idea of plywood for the coasters to screw into instead of multiple end grains.
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
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.
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.
"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.
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
BROMEGO! Thank you. Just built my version of this and its perfect. The casters were such a good idea.
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
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.
I have watched a bunch of butcher-block type workbench builds but I wanted to just use a good 5/8" Plywood. Yours is the one that impresses me the most with a top that can be swapped out.
I enjoyed the film, thought it was great . I’m new at this so I’m looking to more classes ,Thanks Bo
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!

Dude you're an excellent teacher! Love your videos. You definitely think outside the box
Using the speed square to align all of the legs is a game changer for me, I never would have thought of that
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!
love it! the speed square for installing the legs was really clever!
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.
Another great video. I enjoyed the "where I'm at" visual.
This video is a game changer. Just moved into a new house and it’s go time. Thank you, sir.
Bench is great, thanks for sharing! I wasn't sure if I was more impressed with the bench, or the vertical clearance on that box jump!!
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!
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.
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'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.
That bench is pretty legendary, great work!
The "where I'm at" is so cool. I didn't realize how helpful it is until I saw it in this video
Love the “Where I’m at” icon. That is a great idea and had me subscribing in the first minute or two.
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!!
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!
Just finished my own work bench and got more ideas thanks to this video. Awesome video!!!
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
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 🤫😉
That’s is a cracking build mate, the moxon vice is a really good idea.
Ive never seen youtube video made so precise. Where I am in upper corner, complete list of materials used. Perfect.
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
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.
You rock! Love the “where I’m at” graphic.
"CAREFULLY throw things on it." ...love that part!
I've watched several first workbench videos and this is by far the best one!!
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!
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!
14:05-I was like “Whoa!!!”
Mad ups, my man!
I really like the "where I'm at" graphic.
Thanks for this. Well worth the cost of the plans!
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.
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
This was a great walkthrough. Would be nice if you went through tradeoffs and different options you considered before doing the build.
Really like this. My question is at the end how many takes did it take to jump on it perfectly lol. Love your videos
Dang, son…. That is AWESOME!! Thanks for all the cool tips! Your “Where I’m At” graphic is SO HELPFUL! WOW! Next workbench I make will definitely be based on your design. G [hey, buddy, don’t forget SAFETY GLASSES!] 😊 👍🏼
Excellent instructional video. I love the way you use modern clamps, jigs, and cordless tools to achieve old school results.
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!
"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'm a year into carpentry building decks with an old man. Your channel is definitely helpful for us newbies who want to learn more
Thanks for the great ideas and great presentation.
I would have made one change: retractable casters
Didnt see any sharks with lasers either...
You sir! Are the definition of efficiency!
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!

This is my 1st time watching one of your videos.
Gonna steal some ideas from you.
Thanks for sharing.

I’ve watched my fair share in woodworking video’s on RUclips. You are the only person I’ve seen literally jump onto their workbench to do the customary strength test
The speed square support for the legs to keep them level is blowing my mind. Nice trick.
Your video gave me the confidence to build my own miter saw table! Thank you sir! Keep doing your thing!
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.
Cool build, I will be building this too, Thinking of going with 4ft wide and use it when needed as an off feed for my table saw
I plan to rift off of this and create a workbench from a solid core bank door I was gifted. Thanks for the great ideas.
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.
This is perfect for my new house where I only have a Garage to work with; but can move the table out to the patio undercover when we need to house the vehicles.
Legendd.
YOU THE MAN! Thanks for all the videos!!
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!
Brilliant video and great instruction.
Man, I love everything about it, this is how a RUclips channel should be, so enjoyable and well put together
I've been doing woodworking for over 10yrs you just inspired me to get back in to it thank you 😊
Thanks Glen! I made it !
Excellent build. Excellent video. The "where I'm at" feature is outstanding and of course the box jump at 14:04 made the difference!
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! 🔨 🗜 📐 🇺🇲
I subscribed to your channel 750 years ago and I still enjoy watching your neat work every time ;)
That's a nice bench! Well done!
I rarely ever leave comments on videos, but am making an exception for this one. When you said that you easily get distracted when doing repetitive tasks, you had me hooked:) My shop is in total disarray right now and you have inspired me to use this bench as a starting point. The shelf used to "throw" tools stuck a cord with me, since that is a MAJOR problem of mine. I also have never seen T Tracks nor would I have thought about using them. However, I will be ordering them today. Thank you so very much. This looks like it is not only within my wheelhouse of skills, but doesn't look like I'll have to break the bank to build it.
Never thought of using a speed square for a pseudo-level flat surface reference, totally going to steal that idea, thanks!
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.
That's a well thought out project, well done bro.
You have some great skills. Probably the best looking work table I’ve ever seen.
