It wasn't done though. I still needed to finish some details to make it even better. I created a French Cleat holder for my table saw, modified my scroll saw to be clamped anywhere, built a French Cleat large paper roll holder, added electrical outlets, and most importantly, built a comfy swivel seat that slides out when in use and hides away when not in use. The seat really makes this a unique workbench. Enjoy!

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
"The slides have a weight limit of about 150 pounds"
Me: Welp, I guess I need to stand more anyway
Lol yes, was thinking the same!
The year is 2040. Ben has continued to upgrade his workshop every day to the point where he can manufacture any product known to man with the push of a button.
And that dog is making Ben fetch
2044: he rube goldbergs a presidential campain from his couch.
Flips swing states.
Yes but he only makes French Cleats
@@natevideos263 I think those are Freedom Cleats.
2020. 10% of RUclips woodworkers already using the CNC he'll use in 2040.
Hey, dude. For the seat, why don’t you attach a wheel/caster and cut a notch (or maybe fold-up wheels) so that when you extend the seat, the weight is not supported by the slides alone?
thats a good idea
Add another set of slides.
I was thinking the same thing, why cantilever all that weight when you can support it with the floor on some HD wheels.
Because it looks like he’s a floating jeti master craftsman sitting at his work bench the way it is lol. Safety first though
when he said 150 lbs....I was like....yeah, I am outx2. I would have to have a tripod wheel to support my beefy behind.
A suggestion - Attach a dolly wheel to the bottom of the stool to ensure it does not fail in the future. Those slides will eventually fail with extended use.
I was going to suggest the same thing :)
Me too..
i had the same idea :D
+1 for the dolly wheel suggestion.
How would that work? With any attachment directly under the stool, it can't slide in nearly as far as it needs to. Also, it would pretty much ruin the soft puzzle mats he uses. What's the advantage of buying a wheel that reduces how good your workbench is, if you can also just buy new slides in a couple of years? You may even be able to just flip the slides around side to side if they start sagging. It's not like they're going to be extended often, so the only real wear they could have is sag. It'll be many years before those things wear down, so it's just not worth adding a wheel underneath it.
Dogs are some of the smartest people I know. Your pair are pretty sharp.
By the way, your work bench is brilliant. Somebody mentioned putting a shelf by the USB ports. It's half a good idea. Put a groove in the shelf to stand your phone up.
*casually does front flip off of finished workbench*
love your energy man, also really like how creative you are with your projects.
I got soo scared that he would land on the dog
Even better if he did it with a basketball, and took a shot just after he landed!
You need to make a tool that fires balls for the dog and teach them how to use ut
You can buy those. The dog drops the ball in the top and it shoots it out, they come in sizes for different size dogs.
That french cleat for the saw is pure genius.
Agreed.
looks a lil dangerous though
@@piotrr5439 He can add some clamping addition for extra safety and eliminate vibration...
The arrangement looks like the workplace of a goldsmith with working area surrounding the worker...
It Is An Excellent Idea ; Why Not Have The Lower Stop As A Cleat For Added Strength & Support ?
Thanks for showing what you're up to, just found your channel ! Keep em coming
I'm a " paraplegic " living vicarious through YT channel projects lol - Very Inspiring !
It's funny how I'm watching shop upgrade videos but I NEED to upgrade my shop as well. Great video though gives me Ideas for my shop! Thanks Ben
4:55 Ha. He's probably thinking, Oh, a nice mat, I'm gonna sit here.
Now I need to go hug my dog.
Love it. I might suggest moving the power around the corner instead of right behind you. I feel like it might get in the way as you have things plugged in and you go to stand up? Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your videos.
Ben that french cleat on the side of the bench is GENIUS!!! I was so looking forward to this build but that table saw out-feed cleat exceeded my expectations!!!
Just built my French cleat tonight .. Ben the Inspirerererer
The patience he has with the dogs getting in his work space. Great dog dad right there.
I tortured myself designing an integrated table saw into my bench only to learn I don’t use it as much as expected. I love the idea of simply hanging it onto the edge when needed. Good call👍🏿🔨🪚
Definitely going to build one like this. It’s a beast. God job man
Is the combined weight limit of the slides 150lbs? Or is it each? If it is 150 each wouldn't that be 300lbs total especially with how close they are together?
Small fortune in screws. The 6 inch ones, especially. Very nice however.👍🏼
It’s good to see you were properly supervised during the build. Amazing work!!
This is really cool but that seat seams kind of sketchy to me.
Just want to start out by saying that this is an awesome design. I definitely am inspired to redo my main workbench. Also wanted to say that Rockler sells some amazing workbench casters that mount on the outside of the table legs and will fold out of the way so that the weight of the bench, while stationary, is completely on the legs/frame. They support up to 400 lbs a piece.
I'd say thats the nearest workbench I have ever seen,and I'm 70.Your the BEST,THANKS FOR THE GREAT CONTENT.
The French cleats to the edge of the table are brilliant! I was thinking of routing a channel into a piece of ply or mdf skirting. It would accept the male profile of the cleat, so as to keep the perimeter of the workbench flush. You still get the functionality.
Plans for the workbench are available here:

Happy Building!
And the whole time, the pups are like "Hi dad! I halp?!?!? Oh, wait. THROW THE SQUEAKY!!! Ok, now I halp?!?!?"
I just found your channel searching for a workbench build. I love it! Great content. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Corgi butts drive me nuts! Lol
Where are the cupholders, Ben. Where.
Also: electric wheels to move it around through wifi or xbox controller?
Just throwing ideas for next video. ...Beer fridge with voice activated auto-launcher..??
Glad to see the Corgi clearance on the table saw; so often an overlooked measurement!
Mhm
Their short legs are often not taken into account
I can so relate to the dog thinking the mats belong to him! If I throw anything on the floor, the first thing my dog does is lay on it!
Ryncf
I love all of this it looks great! I want to have a entire workshop and things like u (I can't cuz of time and space [and maybe money how much does it cost?]) Thanks for your work and our entertainment from all of us! You do great things and I love it and peace!
Even though you have used 4 by 4s and 6 in screws the lack of diagonal bracing on your uprights may come back to bite you.
Are you willing to share what the total cost was for the buildout of your structure?
GREAT JOB ON THE WORK TABLE BEN GREAT IDEAS ,FROM DOUG
darn, just when i thought i had all the things i need in my shop....
Those casters in video will easily hold 1000lbs. My work bench moves with them. It’s similar.
4:20 great idea for mounting the table saw, but I really think it needs additional support in the bottom, going directly onto your floor. The bend in the cleat becomes very visible when you add the saw, it's just not meant to support that weight. Could have safety issues...
Such a great job Ben! And lots of great ideas for the rest of us :)
It’s so encouraging to see such genius at work. You’ve got a wonderful, fulfilling life ahead of you. ‘Love the dogs getting your attention.
Ежедневное обращение Господа Бога к человеческому Роду..
15.11.2020 Катрен “Информация для людей от Бога”
Никогда не было такого недомогания!
Человечество, как Большая больница!
Рушится Планетарное «Здание»:
Это закрывается Пятой расы страница!
Медицина никому не помогает,
Ей, сегодня, самой нужна медицина!
Остановить катастрофу, как не знает,
Тяжёлая для Планеты година!
Люди попали в водоворот событий!
Уже неважно, кто есть в этой иерархии,
Возможности спасения уже изжиты,
Отвечает за катастрофу Епархия!
Люди религией введены в заблуждение!
Нет Веры и нет понимания Завтра!
Хаос на Планете и нет движения!
Никто из религий не говорит Правду!
Теперь остановить падение в Ад - трудно!
Люди не поняли, что Бог есть Ноль!
Человечество заторопилось на дно,
Люди не поняли, что наказание - есть боль!
Религии воюют, между собой, за первенство,
За власть над человечеством!
«Минус» - предполагает невежество!
«Плюс» - спешит образовать Отечество!
Трудно - люди разделились во мнениях!
В одной стране, даже в одном роду,
Не получается в Духе у людей Единения,
Им осталось - объединиться в гробу!
Создатель предлагает, сейчас, подумать!
Шестая Эпоха начинает движение!
Люди сегодня должны знать,
Только в Боге есть Истины Постижение!
Русь, по Сценарию, обязана шагнуть Первой!
Матрица Руси - это подобие Неба!
Русь всегда была Богу верной,
Надо доказать, что всегда была верной Она!
Нужно выбросить всё остальное!
Всё, что от Пятой, надо срочно убрать!
Прошлое на Руси было больное,
Надо оставить, лишь Небесную стать!
Этого, к сожалению, не так много!
Но жива, как всегда, Надежда!
Шестая раса будет настоящим Итогом!
Уйдут добровольно из власти невежды!
Питеру за команду придётся платить!
За две революции - большая плата!
Небо решило его удалить,
Слишком много на нём кровавого злата!
Список смертей давно подготовлен!
Змеиное гнездо - на сердце России!
Каждый из команды Богом уведомлён!
Без них Русь исполнит свою Миссию!
Если Народ не проснётся - плохо будет стране!
Нельзя добровольно сдаваться Тьме!
Мир ждёт, противостояния западной стороне,
Людям надо определиться в себе!
Время перемен сжалось теперь в минуты!
Шестую эпоху - не остановить!
Небеса Белым Светом покрыты,
К этому ничего не добавить!
Информация для людей от Бога!
Религии не знают время Конца,
Планета изменится скоро в итоге,
Создатель прислал людям Гонца!
Небо говорит, что Гончар будет!
В огне Он создаст Белое Братство,
Шестая эпоха с нуля стартует,
Не будет больше никогда Аббатства!
Аминь.
Отец Абсолют.

Brilliant, that seat is genious
Dude I do not think you know how much I enjoy about your videos it is really make my day PLEASE keep it up!!
Thanks!
That cleat is brilliant, but would it be enough to hold the tablesaw through multiple projects?
@@danielwest7809 and it looks like it flexes a tiny bit at 4:22, even though it's brand new.
for something lightweight like the paper roller, it looks like a great idea. but for the table saw, i think i would have wanted something a bit more sturdy. like some metal cleats. or at the very least, make it out of actual hardwood instead of plywood.
@@thinkdunson I think a good compromise would be to add two folding legs to the tablesaw, so that there is plenty of support from the ground on the end opposite to the french cleat.
@@bs838 that's an excellent idea. i saw something similar in another video where a guy mounted the table saw to his workbench with a piano hinge, so that it can fold completely under the table, and then fold it out and extend the legs to use.
My very first question.
@@bs838 One variable this could introduce is some slop in terms of height-from ground. To resolve that, the legs could attach to slots/lock tabs on the base of the table itself or rest on a load bar on the bottom ledge. This would permit the saw to slide on the cleat. That said, I don't feel that the the cleat is a safe solution for a table saw. At the minimum, a "locking bar" should be installed above the lower rest bar to prevent the assembly from walking up-and-over should kickback with sufficient force occur. It's all unlikely, but a table saw moving while in use easily leads to lost-limbs, and the mode of failure of a french cleat is "Thing Fall Off". I love the idea, but it feels like a lot of risk to me.
I'll absolutely be attaching cleats to my workbench for accessory mounts, though. Brilliant idea.
You should call your bloopers “Technical Doofieculties”
Very creative and very functional! Loved the video. May I ask the breed/mix of the larger pet? We rescued one almost identical to yours, with the exception of the straight tail; Barlee had a curly tail. 13 years and we never knew his mix.
I came to the comments to ask this question.
Maravilloso mesón de trabajo y muy simpático el perrito 🐶🐶
This is what my brain is trying to tell me I need 😁.... Excellent video
Can you double up the drawer pulls so it's 300 pounds? That way you won't crash just picking up your dog.
That was my backup plan if it didn’t work out!
You’re a unrelenting beast!! Love the design.
Enjoy your dogs. I lost mine over five years ago and I miss him so very much. I know they can be a pain when you're working, but you'll miss them, so enjoy them now! 🐶🐶🐶
Man! This is insanely beautiful!!! I love it.. I'll try to emulate your work even though I don't have much space... anyway love the video, love your dogs, love your work.. keep it up! Best of luck...
Oh man, this is the best workbench I've ever seen! Only compatible with one other. I love absolutely everything about it, namely the compatibility with French cleats and seat. If I had the paper it would be for doodling designs haha. I'm really impressed
4:51 I can SO relate! Think the inclusion of the dogs in the process makes it so much more realistic. Enjoyed the making of the work bench, and this follow up with all the extras and goodies that make it even better is fantastic.
Idea-- put a second french cleat below to hold the paper roll as you use the table saw?
I hesitate to put any cleats too low because a pup could catch a sharp edge. I have a designated spot for it on the French cleat wall
@@BenTardif good call!
No shop is complete without a competent Shop Dog!
Awesome build!
Fantastic mate..!!! Great idea, in a few days I will also build a counter for my new saw bench.
The table saw french cleat is brilliant enough for its own video. Where the heck was this video 4 years ago when I was building my bench!! well done, sir.
You can also add a skater ramp to the bench, and a house for the dog.
I am lovin' the table saw cleat - nice work.
Am I the only one that screams "for the love of God, sand those edges!" at their screen?
Glad to see that you have some permanent "helpers". They always come in handy.
Great improvements! been thinking of building a work bench area like this too, might have to steal your ideas 😂
You should look into getting a single caster wheel to roll under that chair for extra stability.
Even when he's working, the pets want to play. And he's okay with that! :D
Love the extra dog content at the end! Teach Doofie "in my hand" with his ball. My 3 learned it quickly!
These dogs have you trained well! 🤣
Please please redo your wiring in either conduit or replace with steel clad. Speaking from experience!
How did you teach your dog how to tamp down the puzzle mat with his body?
Your dogs are like the best quality inspectors :)
The bench is thought out and well designed too!
I love the interchangeable options you installed. Beautiful table.
I'm going to leave the legs on my stool I'm a shade over 150 pound actually 135 pound over 😂😂😂😂🏴🏴🏴

Idc about the table i mean i do and its cool, bro that dog be like yo trow the ball now XD
You should get muscle up bars in your garden
The sliding seat would have worked perfectly for me when I was 25 years old. Now that I'm 55 I don't think I'd even fit in the cutout. Not to mention, if I was able to squeeze in there..., well let's just say the slides giving way would probably be the only thing saving me from flipping the entire workbench over onto myself. When you get old and fat, like a lot of us who never saw it coming, you may want to add a trailer jack wheel onto the bottom of that seat. Patent Pending
I know I'm about to get downvoted, but I could NOT work with dogs running around my shop all the time
I can’t lie. I’m only here for the pups. LOL
Jk. Nice work. I like the use of the French cleats. Simple but very functional.
I love this concept....I built something similar in my first locksmith van....great work...!!!
Sweet. Just install a non steerable HD caster under the upright supporting the seat. It will move with the slide, and will help hold maybe 300lbs. Cheers
Best of Workshop Shop Dogs, Awesome Build by the Way
Thanks Much
I'm new to your channel. The flip was definitely a surprise.
Three things. 1st, I like your work and motivation. Before I give u some feedback. I am a licensed contractor and have been building homes for 30 years. That is now my hobby and I am a senior officer for OSHA and have been for 17 years. 2nd, your wiring is ok. However, using an extension cord wired permanently into a box is against the law. No biggie if you are not a business and have no employees. However, the second you do, it becomes a safety concern for your employees. The fine can be considerably large! 😬. 3rd, when wiring boxes, always leave some extra pig tail before entering the box. This allows for any movement without compromising the wire, it also gives you extra if you need to upgrade what's in your box. Glad to see someone who has trade skills. Keep up the good work!
I love it, except as an Electrician.....I suggest using SJOOW or similar portable high impact resistant cable to feed the power in your tables outlets. Extension cords shouldn't be used in a permanent application.
I will be using some of your ideas in my garage I am working on. Appreciate the video, great work!
Beautiful bench. You should have it on the front of a brochure to advertise your woodworking business, if that is your purpose.
Now...let's take that bench from a nice conversation piece, and make it truly functional.
1. Outlets from the walls...psst. Thats amateur hour of you. Get yourself some Wiremold, run it up the wall; continue across the ceiling over your bench. 3 or better...5 of them. And put retractable power chord lines over your bench. Each one with its own GFCI. Do I have to remind you to put a surface beam on the ceiling, bolted to the ceiling joists, over the bench to resist the stress of the retractable power lines, and eliminate any future retractable power chord damaging the ceiling ? Enough said.
2. You should have put 5/4 tongue and groove boards, sandwhiched between your plywood sheets. So you could have bored holes on your bench top in a useful linear pattern to have bench holdfast inserts. Once you use one, you never want to stop using them. They are addictive. Get hand forged blacksmith made one's. They will last forever. And blacksmiths can make you some custom ones for extra reach into a piece. The best I have ever seen were hand made, and the tip that held down the wood, had two holes in line to screw in a piece of wood, to provide support for very expensive woods. Gramercy Tools makes great ones.
3. Stop giving excuses, and put a bloody caster underneath that retractable bench. That it will not make it able to fully retract you say.
"Piss poor planning provides piss poor production"
You should have planned a cutout on the bottom footing, of the bench to accommodate the heavy duty caster getting tucked in.
When something can go wrong, it usually occurs at the worst possible moment. If that seat cracks or gets damaged, you might be sick at the time, or hurt, or out of your best game, and it will be a royal pain in the butt to fix. Have it done. NOW!
4. Dress the edge of the bench with a 3/8" or 1/2" inch round over bit with your router. Rounded edges stand up to dings betteŕ than sharp 90 degree one's.
5. Lacquer your bench several times, sanding or using brass wool on each coat. Why? Dirt will get into the pores of the wood. Lacquered wood is easier to keep clean. Dirty benches show disregard for your bench.
6. I am the only one who seems to have made a habit of this idea im going to give you. It will make your bench more useful. Put in 2 cutouts on the bench top, reaching all the way through. Build it with a removable coveŕ, to hide it when not being used. I used to make mine 5 x 8 inches. Why?
So that when I had to bore a hole in a piece of wood, I could do it while the piece laid on top of the bench; fully supported. What did I do to find the exact position of the cutout, if the piece to be bored covered the cutout?
I built a template for each cutout, that had the exact position of the cutouts, and it straddled the width of the bench,
and locked into registration holes.
7. Inlay a glued metal measuring rule on the benchtop to quick measure pieces you are working on. Find a long one. Put it on the longest side of your bench, opposite your cutout. And another on a short end of your bench.

The french cleat versatility here is brilliant.
Ok tough guy, let’s see you flip off the table with the table saw hooked up and running. This was great man, gave me perfect blue print to build mine. I really like the cleat for table saw. Also, don’t underestimate some heavy duty casters. 4 good casters can handle 1000lb no problem. 8 will be sufficient for elephant roller skates.
Really cool workbench 💪🏼💪🏼👍👍 good job, good ideas ! I love it !!
Nice job. Very organized and solid. However, $500+ of materials to mount a less than $150 table saw. I hope you get the saw you want/need.
That is an amazing bench. However, that slide out seat is doomed to fail. Putting caster wheels on the bottom of the seat supports would solve the problem of relying on the glides that only hold 150 #'s. (You'd better not gain anyweight if you don't...and even then, those glides won't last.)
Fantastic design and build however.
- Jed from KC
Talking about drawer slides at their weight limit - use two sets? According to your math 4 would hold 300 lbs. Anyway, nice job, ill probably "borrow" some of your ideas.
Love your techniques and your doggies lol. Great hob on the bench. Long time coming and finally you have it :)
Great build! also really like how creative you are with your projects.
Great Build. You might wanna b careful of EM radiation with power sockets placed that close to your body. Love the bench design/concept. Well thought out man!
Very cool workbench, nice ideas! 💪🏻👍🏻 Now can you please built some wooden boxes to cover up that blue plastic boxes for the sockets ? 🙏🏻😉
I bet you worry about that cool seat idea breaking. Still using it? i had 2 ideas. Add 2 slides to each side, stacked and add a caster to the base and it will never break. You have some really great ideas. Took lots of screen shots. Keep it up! My channel is in the making. 316 Woodworks. Starting it out as a hobby. We'll see how it works out. Maybe we can collaborate one day.
Un excelente trabajo!!!! En Argentina esa mesa cuesta solo en madera más de 2500 dólares
You shoulve made the main outlet on the bench 'unpluggable' so you aren't forced to use the cable "forever". Not sure if I explained myself correctly, something like extension cord that you can unplug from the bench and move it around when you decide/need to. Great work btw I really enjoy your content.
Love the project and flexibility but I’d definitely add one caster under the seat!!!! With only one caster you would be safer since one gotta account for the fact that the drawer extensions aren’t designed for twisting and that will happen naturally whenever you move or rotate! Considering that you are pretty much at the limit weight of the extensions, the caster can save you from some serious injuries if you fall while working any kind of machinery.
Not criticizing but recommending something to keep you safe!
Good luck!
Hey, I have concern about your power cord to your workbench. You said you put it in the expansion joint of the slab. I would recommend either a) not doing that, or b) use a concrete wet saw to cut a larger groove in the concrete. I don’t know where you’re based, but I’m warmer summer months, concrete definitely expands and could pinch the cable, resulting in a short/reduction of power. Not a concern as we head into winter, but maybe look at revising how you get power to your bench. Otherwise, great vid, great content, keep on trucking!
I love the seat idea. Would a 45-degree notch in 2 4x4's work in place of a slide? Not as smooth sure, but for those of us over 150Lbs. Industrial round tube sliders would also work but would cost more.
