I am selling the plans for this workbench for USD$20 E-mail me if you want them.
I have watched quite a few video on how to do your first workbench for DIY’s and this is by far the best one I’ve seen. I’m a first timer and will be doing my first workbench and I think I’m going to do mine just like this workbench. Great job! Wish me luck!
A great no-nonsense approach, guys. People laugh at the lag-bolt fastener approach, but lag-bolts are incredibly strong as mechanical fasteners go, and they'll allow a person to dismantle the workbench pretty easily, too. Looks great! :)
Finishing up building this - I nicknamed it 'The Beast'. Made a decision to keep it 8 feet in length and add two additional inner braces for the top and the shelf. Super solid, and just what I needed.
Now THATS what I call a heavy duty workbench. NOTHING can destroy that baby. GREAT JOB.
+Karl Bertyn Can you put the weight of a car on it?
From all the tutorials I've seen. Yours was the best. This is what I will be making as well. Thanks allot for this video. God bless you
I built this thing, twice! First time I tried to compensate for uneven garage floor. Still didn’t work so I tried leveling feet. Those looked like a POS. Scrapped it, bought new lumber, and then built it on a level surface. Added more surface by extending the braces and table top 2” ( from 28” to 30”). I agree it’s a lot of lag bolts and a little more expensive, but it’s a badass work bench! Thanks to the guy that posted this.
Just constructed my first workbench based on this design, thanks for the video.
Very very nices
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to try to make this to fit the space I have. Thanks.
Ive been watching several designs before I start constructing my bench and this has by far been the most solid and sturdy looking table thus far.
Thanks for sharing!!
Yup. Me, too.
Thus far? If you're looking for something more solid than this one, I suggest looking into steel I-beams :D
If I decide to build tanks off a bench, this would be it! Work bench and Nuclear fallout protection all in one! Great video!
You could fork lift a car onto that thing. Great Job. A quick, well thought-out construction. Your comments along the way were excellent.
I love the crickets chirping through the video 😊
Hands down the best work bench I have seen on youtube. Nice work!
Thanks for sharing
This seems to be simplest and fastest to build (yet strong) design I've seen. I'll give it a try. Just want to get a workbench working and get on with actually building something.
After watching this one, i've picked my bench! Thank youi
Great job, I don't need such mission critical design but what a fantastic benchmark build, thank you for an excellent video.
Very nice build. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Strongest work bench I've ever seen, yes . Overkill, yes.
I've built essentially the same workbench in all my homes over the years. Only two big differences...since I don't want the work bench to move I start by attaching a 4x4 horizontally to my garage wall with lags, then I build the rest of the workbench around it. This eliminates the need for legs on the back side. For the top I lag 2x10s in place then glue on a sheet of tempered Masonite. This leaves me with a perfectly smooth flat surface without screw holes. I change out the Masonite every five years or so as needed.
whats the height of the 4 by 4s
great workbench, but the only improvement i'd make would be more lag bolts
Lol!
Lol....
More cowbell!
lol
That’s one very sturdy work bench👍
One thing's for sure...that's a sturdy work bench! Good job!
Nice job and very practical design. Only thought for possible improvement would be to not put that permanent trim around the edge. The MDF gives you a great flat surface. But, over time, stuff can happen to it as you work and it may be nice to be able to replace the MDF without having to contend with the glued up sides.
Not the pretiest workbench but im sure its the easiest workbench for beginners. Nice job man
Great workshop and super hard-core work bench.
My 2 cents. The bench is a great balance between functionality, cost and construction difficulty. Some others are not strong enough or way too complicated or costly. Great job and good video. I love the absence of blaring electric guitars. That is one reason I like to go out in the shop, to get away from that kind of stuff.
Awesome bench, but never thought that I would be laughing the whole time watching this video. Good stuff
Lag Bolt Comedy. I'm over laughing to myself. Wife thinks I'm crazy.
Great bench. I built it a few years ago. It's strong like a tank. I Istill love it.
Add on a bench vise and blammo!!! This idea, of a bench, is grand!
Have some workbench with your lag bolts there buddy. Nice bench thanks for posting it.
outstanding!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO MAKE ME ONE..LOOKS AWESOMELY STURDY AND POWERFUL FOR PROJECT MAKING!!!
Bloody good job, well done mate. 🇬🇧🏴
You own shares in that lag bolt manufacturing company don't you? ;-) I know a lot of us are poking fun at the amount of lag bolts,but it was a great build,and great functional work bench,I certainly will be watching more of your videos.
That is one solid bench that will have a very long life
I don’t know, I built a 2’x8’ workbench about 35 years ago. (I was snowed in and bored). I built it of a half sheet of 3/4 plywood and some old 2x4’s and 4x4’s. Just what I happened to have in my basement. I barely had enough. But that bench is strong enough to drive a truck on. I still use it. Every few years, I clean and repaint it..
Very simple but effective,nearly all the other bench designs I've seen, need a full workshop of expensive million pound,power tools.
You could do this with a skill saw, drill and impact driver... square, level, tape measure, pencil. Just do nice cuts!
I like this bench a lot! The only thing I'd do differently is use concrete form plywood. It's more expensive but I like the smooth surface, and it's way stronger than mdf.
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more lag bolts!
And cowbells.
J Dorris half price
studs and lags, my favorite combination. this bench is serious.
Lags are awesome, but I think I would have gone with carriage bolts, just so it could be completely 110% overkill. LOL.
Its a scam website.
That looks , really solid ! Great Job !!!!
can also be used as an earthquake shelter
Its a very good workbench, but the most expense would be on the fasteners - lag bolts, screws and nails. I will be building one similar to yours, but on the cheap. The top, for example, I will use cheap rough hewn planks. Thanks for posting.
The best Lag Bolt table ever built.
Thanks for the video! Designing my own bench and this was really helpful!
excellent strong job and quick to do!
I think you over killed with the lag bolt Mister. Nail work just fine.
Nice job, thinking of doing one myself. Thanks for the post
Check out my latest "How-To" Video. It shows how to make a heavy-duty workbench.
You mean you built an even stronger workbench than that ? LOL
Great work by the way!!!

I wanna buy the plans to build the same work bench
Did anyone else have a heart attack when he screwed the bolts in from the top? Lol good build though, I like everything but the top.
I think you didn't use enough lag bolts
HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My deck has less lag bolts LOL
I thought the same thing. No jointing or anything. He spent more in lag bolts then he did in that nasty pine and mdf. Hopefully its 400 series stainless other wise the pine will help in the corrosion of those lag bolts.
Ant-lag boltite! Take your prejudice elsewhere.

Look good, strong and pretty easy! Thanks.
Sensational. I'm going to build mine exactly the same.
Nice build but I would use decking screws. No need for lag bolts. I built something similar over 25 years ago and nailed it together. Never had an issue.
nice work. i think i found how im going to build my workbench. thx :)
nice looking bench.Did you plane 2x8 top or was it level enough to just place MDF top
Only issue I see is with gluing the trim. If you ever want to replace just the surface then you'll have to tear the entire top off. Why not just glue the trim the the base and then lay in the mdf? Seems poorly thought out in that regard. Otherwise, very durable build.
A table this bad-ass, why have trim at all? For my needs, the 2x8's will make a fine top. Or I might skip them entirely and just drop something on top of the frame...
NAILING THE TRIM!!!! Come on, use some more lag bolts for Christ sake.
Defenitely a letdown when he uses nails at the end😁
Nice of you to advertise a broken link on someone else's video... what dick move.
How did you manage to find 2x8 boards that fit together that nicely without doing any planing/jointing? I've been having trouble with a similar project but for a computer desk and its been a major PITA trying to get the table top aligned with my limited tools.
holy smokes; this thing is sea-worthy. nice job
I like the materials you chose to make this table from, 2x12's for the top rather than particle or plywood. I've come to dislike plywood for all sorts of reasons. Do you have a plans pkg. for this table?
With all the lag screws used , Thought you'd make a more solid butcherblock top with boards on their 2" sides. What's a few extra boards cost, already spent enough with lag screws. Maybe even could of used extra long lag bolts acroas to build your butcher block ?
Yea, I got a UA-cam chan- discount on a pallet of lags? I’ll take it.
I like it, I bet this will last for years to come...
termites would have fun day were i live nice video
I just made this bench. I was looking for a workbench design so I could house all my tools and equipment for crafts, amateur woodworking and sewing stuff. Of course mine is not as perfect; my table top length is short by 2 3/4 inches cause I can't measure accurately to save my life, so when they cut it at HomeDepot I gave them the wrong measurements. There is a tiny bit of wobble, but overall it's fantastically stable.
Nice work!
this is probably the strongest bench i've seen haha
Some inconsistencies between your bill of materials and images in the video. For example, 2 x 6" verses 2 x 8" boards for top. About the cost: the 86 lag screws alone would cost over $200. OK for tie-in to legs, but maybe overkill to secure the braces. Could use deck screws and save $150. Other than that, a good plan.
holy cow, where do you buy lag bolts? ace hardware?
tractor supply 2.19 per pound that size 12 or so per pound
Crickets in background, nice effect.
Nice job. I would have mitered the 1x's around the top for a cleaner look.
How can we get a copy of the plans this is great
Great video. Very nice workmanship. Would you happen to have a way I could get a build sheet for this bench with the measurements and all the materials I need? I'm an engine guy not really a carpenter. LOL Thanks!
Don't over Engineer it ;-)
Lag bolts are king! Great bench though
Overkill is good. I like it!
Good classic simple design. Better with a single thick piece of plywood as top. Lower brace beams better on inside of posts giving less shin bone knocks.
Great video! Thanks!
Muito muito muito bonita esta obra de arte
Going to invest in whoever makes the best lag bolts. How do you hang up a picture frame?
that's an awesome table
Down and dirty. I like it!
is there any way to get the blue prints for the exact bench in the video ?
In every craft or skill set there are a few rules that separate the pros from the amateurs.
When it comes to woodworking benches the top never over hangs the legs.
Would it be possible to add a vise to this workbench?
Instead of countersinking the screws on top of the bench, screw it from the bottom. Leaves a flat surface.
fucking scammer,do not go to the link,is just another ted's woodworking scam.
Fuck hootwood..I see that bs all over the place..piss off
Then he would need to buy much longer screws for the job, and if he fucks up the screw end shows up on top.
Yeah, looks like this guy screws up a lot... only nailed the level and plumb first shot.
damn true
in the beginning you showed a list.. I read those all.. but later you used different products.. specially plywood is changed to MDF.... I'm sorry but I didn't heave headphones to listen if you said you changed it for any reason. but is MDF better than Plywood?
Bomb proof for sure
Hi! I'm making a workbench / work table for working with ceramics. Because I'm working with a wet material, are there any changes you would suggest? Like using a laminate instead of an MDF? And secondly, the workbench will be in my basement, which has a very uneven floor. How would you suggest to get the table level, and sturdy? (I'm thinking of something more sophisticated than shims)
buy adjustable Leg Leveler kit
Love the bench. How can I get the plans for this.
Pretty god damn impressive
Your table is perfect. I want to build one just like it .
Wow! so beautiful and classic ^_____^
good reasonable work
1000 lbs handling workbench 💪🏽
Amazing work ..
Nice job!
Wish I had the tools
In England it would be cheaper to just buy a bench, the price of timber is eye watering 🌹
How are the lag bolts on the columns not meeting each other?
Wait... check for plumb. Yours were fine but mine are not. I assumed you checked because there's a best practice way to fix that, right?
Should’ve used lag bolts for the trim
Sorry but little confused on your parts list. Your top shelve say 2x6 but you used 3 2x8 and 2x6. Which correct me if I’m wrong but throws your measurement off
I'm late, but i have a theory, the lag bolts were on sale when he bought the 2x4s.
Definitely haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
