DIY Garage Mobile Workbench / Miter and Table Saw / How I Built In 10 Steps
Simple, functional, I like this. Great job man! 👍
What app or website did you use to design your add on which you shown as 3d modeling
It’s SketchUp. 👍🏼
Can you show the calculations or the formula you used to determine where to put the bolts for the miter flip top?
Could I get the plans?
I've been looking for a video on just this topic - how to remove cedar siding with the goal of putting it back after adding a moisture barrier etc. I will give your method a shot. Thank you.
Good Stuff, thx for posting this, am about to add a new entry door to out place, this vid covers most of my questions on how to approach.
I have watched quite a few of these builds and this one is by far the most practical, and looks amazing too, love the content mate, keep it coming! a follow from me 100% - keen to get started on this very build myself in a few weeks!
what are the measurements for where to drill the hole pivot point for the miter saw mount? Would you be able to explain that?
I want to build something just like this so it was really helpful seeing your build. I love the flip miter saw section. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your build. I can definitely identify with your space issues. I have use of one side of a two car garage, so the ability to easily move equipment is vital for me. I enjoyed the way you included your thought processes while moving along with the build. Thanks again and keep building and filming!
Just a little constructive criticism you should face the camera. A little humor is good. The bench idea was good I’d like to try it out.
Your bench is great, exactly what I have been looking for. Do you have plans that I can download. Thank You Jon
Nice design and execution. Impressive to do it all yourself, too. The video itself is helpful!
@jbuildsdiy any idea what the clearance needed to flip that saw? I have the same saw was curious since you never showed the saw mounted. Thx
This is exactly what I'm looking to do with a miter saw station I want to build. How is it holding up with the lag bolts? I've seen other videos and people used 1" pipe for the spin factor. Overkill? Anything you would do differently now after using it for a while?
Such a great video to following alone with. Especially for beginners like me
Does anybody want to share the plans with me? I reached out on instagram but he is a busy man and I have not heard back. Please and thank you!
Hey Jason, let me know if you got them. Not sure if I missed your email. Please shoot me another email if you didn’t receive them.
@@jbuildsdiy Jay- Please help me out! How do I get these plans from ya, I am not seeing an e-mail address anywhere.
I need the plans & measurements. Would you kindly share them?
@@gregerlindstrand1665I have not received them yet myself, unfortunately. I am still waiting : \
I always like DIY’er video’s like this of which contain both a list of materials, an audio narrative by the builder (and possibly the exact dimensions), as well. - Why? - Because. - ONE - The builder thinks of others who may, or may not be trained and experienced enough to build their own but which both need a certain item for themselves and of which are possibly inspired and motivated to do so themselves as a DIY’er by watching video’s of what others have already built for themselves. - TWO - The builder explains “HOW”, he has done something during the building of that item, as well as “WHY”, he has done something a particular way during the building of that item. - THREE - The builder lists all the materials necessary for building that particular item. Yes. A standard “Run-of-the-Mill” DIY’er video containing nothing but the builder building something (which sometimes generally contains a speeded up sequence), which also only contains background music (of which generally consists of music that the builder enjoys, but many times others themselves do not enjoy listening to), with no audio narrative of “HOW” and “WHY” something is done in a particular way, or sequence, and for a particular specific reason, may inspire someone else to build that item because they need it for themselves. But in overall essence, it many times leaves the viewer and the potential builder of such an item in a predicament of “RED-FACED, SHAME” at the end of their own build because either during the building process, they overlooked something and/or left out a specific step, sequence, item, or even a necessary item (or items), from the needed and required materials list, and therefore have to keep returning to the store for further necessary and required materials to complete the build. Also Not to mention that at the end of the build their own item of which they so proudly built themselves either: - ONE - It does not stand up to long-term usage. - TWO - It does not look good overall. - Three - It leaves the inspired and motivated potential builder in "Red-Faced-Shame". And many times, - FOUR - It does not even come close to matching the original item except in a slightly off-hand general sort of way. Thank You for "A Job Well Done" - This is the way all of them should be done.
Apologies in advance if you replied to the many comments already posted regarding a copy of the plans you used. How can I get a copy? Great job by the way!
This is awesome. I am currently renovating my garage, have my miter and table saws just awkwardly sitting on the ground. This would be perfect but as simply as you laid it out I am pretty brand new to woodworking and it still feels like too much for me to take on especially considering that I would need to reduce the length to 5.5 or 6'. Just a little too complicated for me! Plus I don't have a jigsaw or planer @ the moment : \ Really great vid, though.
Great Design. I want to build and put my planer in the spot of the miter saw. Are you still sending out the plans?
Loved the project. Nicely done! Great result. I was pretty confused about your use of your tools a few times though. Not saying you did wrong since it worked. Like cutting the top with the tablesaw at the floor instead of using the perfectly fine circsaw, and drilling with the impact instead of using the drill thats laying next to you. Was there a reason for doing this?
Nice job, esp by yourself.
Very cool project bro! The turning miter saw section is really simple and smart! good job
nicely done video, great thought on the build with the flip for the miter saw.
base is 3' x 8'
Great video. Using the tools a lot of normal guys have! I’m gonna copy your idea in my bedroom!
12:35 ummmmmm what about circular saw?
I hope your slap was flat/level. Good video, gave me some ideas
Question, I love your build, I was wondering why didn't you tie the new portion of deck planks into the existing deck or replace the deck planks with longer ones that would have one uniform look, rather than a cut off at the old deck, or attach the planking like flooring with staggered seams.
Hello 👋🏼 I wanted to do, but my friend said that this was just fine. 🤷🏻♂️ If it was my house, I would’ve done exactly as you said. 👍🏼
"One thing I'm good at is getting things done". This video testifies to that truth! You did an excellent job of planning out the many details, capturing the project on video from start to finish, and provided good oral explanations of what you were doing along the way. I'm impressed that you were able to do this by yourself but you demonstrated that it can be done...therefore the "DIY" in your channel name. P.S. I also love how your son also had some hands-on involvement. Well done! :)
Copied this but made it my own dimensions, one of the coolest things I've ever made, thanks for the idea!
As it should be done. Not all people have the same available space for either building or using the item, or for theirs to have the same dimensions.
i like how u listed the materials at the start of the video. no one ever says what they start out with. great video
Thank you, looking for way to add the miter saw exactly the way you made it. I didn't want it hanging, thank you.
I really want these plans!!! Do you heave them anywhere to purchase?
This is a pretty good guide. Some tips: 1) Make sure you really want a 40" bench top before you follow his plan. Standard countertop height is 36", so 40 is pretty high. I didn't check before I started and ended up taking it apart and lowering it. 2) This workbench is way overbuilt. You could really cut down on your material costs, build time and reduce work if you need to alter the design at some point in the future if you just simplify the build. You can safely eliminate four of his eight legs, though I haven't added the miter saw yet. Those four supports should need no more than one 2x4 each. Mine is pretty rigid and only has corner legs with doubled up 2x4s. Just overlap everything. He used 20, 2x4''s. I needed only 12. 3) The casters he uses are terrific.
Agreed. Check your height to make sure that’s where you want it. I call this out in my plans I’ve sent some people. That ends up being your preference. For the legs, agreed you can add single legs. The double up of 2x4s can be eliminated by just using 4x4s instead of single 2x4s. The double up is just for aesthetics. I don’t recommend eliminating 4 of the legs in the middle. If you do add the miter saw section, it will bow in the middle over time. It also depends on the miter saw you have. A heavier one will definitely make it bow. So for those reading this, don’t eliminate the legs in the middle if you add a miter saw. If you prefer to, that’s your choice but it will bow over time with all the movement in the middle.
If you made the miter tray wider would that not give you more range of angle adjustments, even up to the max ?
Great question: the answer is yes. If it’s wider, more range for angle adjustments.
I would love to get the plans for this bench before I start my own. Is there any way to obtain them? Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I notice a lot of people have emailed for plans, but I cannot find an email address. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
thanks for the guide! I'm looking forward to what you do next with the deck. I plan on doing the same framing but attaching the whole thing to my house. what size deck is it going to be and did you go to the frost depth with the footings? Any tips for making a drawing? I can't find any good free software that has options for framing a roof :( MS paint seems like the best. lol
Nice! I ended up not attaching to my house and it’s just on deck blocks. Both options are great. But my deck is about 18x15. The frost line in Texas is about 1’ deep and I ended up going 30” on the footings. Attaching the posts to the deck also add additional support. Working on that video next! For software, I use sketch-up to plan my stuff out, highly recommend that software. It’s about 100 a year but totally worth it. 👍🏼 especially if you have future plans.
That was the most pathetic stupid azz way of doin that. 3 hrs for 2 beams. No fukin way will i use any fukin tips from thys video. Lil ego goes along ways wit thys idiot , to scared to much pride to stupid or to cheap to ask help. Pathetic
thats alot of screw holes in those finished posts...
Agreed. Tried to hide them as much as possible and found some wood putty to cover them up after the fact. You can’t even tell anymore. Good point though. If you have a nice finished post, don’t do this. lol
Retired General Contractor here... The safest way to do this is to rent a manual lift. My rental yard has Genie lifts that are easily transported in the bed of a pickup truck. I have lifted 30 ft beams 16 ft high.
Incredibly gifted and entertaining. Not only a high quality workbench but tornado shelter. Lol
This is excellent! Thank you for inspiring my next build! Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Props to getting it done solo. One way that has worked well for me are a pair of chain hoists and lifting straps. Make a DIY pair of brackets and hoisting it up is cake as well as making any needed adjustments. 👍
SUPER COOL! One question on the rotary tray. Why did you drill two holes on each side of the rotary bolt (center) hole? For future pins or stabilization?
I drilled two screws to stabilize the rotary tray to ensure it wouldn’t move as I was drilling the center hole. 👍🏼
@@jbuildsdiy Thank you, J! And thanks for this great video! I've watched a LOT of these before starting my workbench and always came back to yours, which I'm now building. I'm way less experienced, and really appreciate how you built it from the ground up -- frame, legs, shelf, etc. Your bench is simpler, stronger and way more functional than everything else I've seen. And your rotary tray is killer! May I venmo you for a few coffees??
do you have downloadable plans for this build
Hey Joey, email me at jbuildsdiy@gmail.com.
Hey, great build. I’m going to build me a workbench too and was wondering if you have some wear in the wood from the rotating bolt? I’m thinking of putting in some pipe as a bearing between bolt and wood
I haven’t had any wear in the wood. The bolt has been holding strong for over a year now. 👍🏼 A pipe is also a good option.
Amazing build! I’m building this exact bench!!! Love it! You Rock!
