That dowel clamp hangar is a great idea. I've been thinking about attaching vertical storage to the side of a metal tool cabinet for my clamps, levels, and the pipes I use for torque multiplication. I'll definitely use dowels for my clamps. Such a simple and effective solution.
Great stuff, Brad. You forgot one option for the top drawer front: use two pieces (as if you have two drawers, like below) of scrap with the grain running how you like. One big drawer that looks like two and you use two pulls.
So glad a few of UA-cam subs are scheduling video drops for Christmas! Thinking of hitting my shop to build something small today myself. Merry Christmas!
As far as the edge banding goes - I have a future project where I will need to apply edge banding at a right angle like that. Your few seconds of video showed me exactly how to do that, which is something I wasn't sure of. So, the fact that you gave in and applied the edge banding not only means it won't bother you, but was also helpful to a random woodworking subscriber. Thank you!
New bench is looking great and I'm sure way more functional than the last one. Now you've got me thinking of ways to upscale my bench with drawers and more storage. Keep the inspirations coming. - Chris
Neat project and entertaining video. For the top drawer, what about just a simple tray shelf that rolls from side to side, maybe with some kind of magnet stopper in the middle to nestle it back to center. Just spit ballin' in my head.
It’s a beautiful thing when everything is in reach. I can see why you have so many subscribers your just a pleasure to watch and chuck he’s a cool dude
Looks good but the one thing that you missed was the one attachment that I find most useful - a narrow tray that allows me to quickly grab a pencil (and, in my case, an eraser) without having to open any drawers.
Ha - your videos are always so excellent and instructive, but somehow they are getting even more entertaining with time. So glad to see your well-earned subscriber count continue to grow!
On my assembly table, I put a divider across in the middle with a drawer on the side of one end, and beneath it, I put a slide-out drawer in the end for my belt/disc combo sander with a curtain in front to keep most of the dust out. The side beneath the drawer and on the other end was boarded up, and has yet to see use. On the other end, I divided it in 2 lengthwise with 3 shelves with slightly raised front edges on one side for tool boxes, and on the other side, a drawer for gloves at the bottom with a shelf for random bigger parts above it. On the end, I mounted holders for spray cans at the bottom, and I plan to find some solution for holding speed squares and the like above them.
Brilliant, Brad! Fantastic work!!! 😃 But hey, when finishing parts that still need to be glued up later... Blue tape! And no guess work. 😉 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Love this video - super helpful for the bench I just built, had no idea what I was going to do down there beyond a slab of plywood on the base. This gave me lots of inspiration! Thanks!!!!
I need to build something super similar for my outfeed table. Just not sure if I want drawers or just shelving. Like you, the perfectionist is hard to fight off.
Love how this turned out. I need to enclose the base of my workbench so this gave me some great ideas......thanks for this and all your great video's. I watch every one! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
You are my favourite woodworker UA-cam pro! I was wondering if you would have any interest in planning a work bench that incorporates a job site table saw and a miter saw that’s also for a garage and mobile? I can’t seem to find one that is just right and I know you could do it the right way, with perfection! Never hurts to ask right?
I had a slightly different take on the hose holder - I thought it looked just like one of those "cat's rear end" towel holders, and now I can't unsee that! Great solution though.
Mele Kalikemaka (Hawaiian for Merry Christmas). One of those 70 Woodcraft stores is in Honolulu so I got a source for my projects. Aloha ... and take the rest of the day off and enjoy your family.
Before watching your version of this workbench conversion, I watched another UA-camr's version. In that version, he skipped an important step that, you did not skip. That step was test fitting the box under the workbench before proceeding with the rest of the build. He had to force fit the cabinet into the workbench, but, at the end of the build, it looked every bit as nice as yours does.
Easel is somewhat limited CAD system, but that makes it very intuitive to learn. And it's free! Somewhere on a server farm, Easel is storing a petabyte of pipe-dreams for me; most of which will never be carved.
Q1: What do you intend to do with the tiny dust around, dropping down to tools in open spaces below the bench? A curtain maybe? Q2: Why is there 1 mm misalignment in right and left drawers horizontally? Q3: I've watched too many bench videos and could be wrong, but I think I saw a very similar project before. Overall, I really like your projects and products.
Two down at least ten to go, come on now, let’s build another. It did turn out great though. Workbench’s are so much fun to build, high return on the money too!
That's great, Brad. Of course, you had to get the "me" nails in there. It's good that you were able to somewhat overcome your ECD to finish this. You'll probably find Chuck sleeping on top of the bench now (lol). Merry Christmas. Bill
Great job. One thing that would bother me about this is sawdust and small items falling through the dog holes and are now harder to get to (e.g. between the cabinets and the shop vac or on the middle of the shelf). Do you have any plans to make a tray or something to make clean up easier?
That was what he was trying to build when he realized there wasn't a piece long enough to make a drawer front (grain direction issue). So he postponed it to later.
For a perfectionist - how about two pieces for the top drawer. Kind of faux two drawers but actually pulls out as one? Could also then match the line going down between the other drawers.

That last part, "back atcha buddy" had me rolling 😂😂😂
Came here for the workbench content, stayed for the Chuck cameo. As a fellow Vol, can you PLEASE make Chuck an Alabama fan?
I mean let's be real...could be any SEC team really, lol

Workbench getting sturdy fr 🕺
Soooo heavy now
Great stuff, Brad. You forgot one option for the top drawer front: use two pieces (as if you have two drawers, like below) of scrap with the grain running how you like. One big drawer that looks like two and you use two pulls.
I came here to suggest the same thing.
Great suggestion!
I will NEVER get sick of that Office scene.
So glad a few of UA-cam subs are scheduling video drops for Christmas! Thinking of hitting my shop to build something small today myself. Merry Christmas!
Chuck and Mountain Dew in a can in the first minute. Greatest Christmas ever!
I'm still calling for a Mountain Dew sponsorship!
We're waiting for it....
Clearly a cup holder mounted on the side of the workbench is needed!
as someone who is waching the office right now i love all the cips you added
😀

Thanks, Chris!
Nice addition. I recently added a boom arm to the back of my main bench for hose and cord control.
This is a pretty good use of space. I like it.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Neat project and entertaining video. For the top drawer, what about just a simple tray shelf that rolls from side to side, maybe with some kind of magnet stopper in the middle to nestle it back to center. Just spit ballin' in my head.
Thanks for pointing out the flaw in the plywood. I couldn't stop looking at it and my OCD was kicking in.😅
It’s a beautiful thing when everything is in reach. I can see why you have so many subscribers your just a pleasure to watch and chuck he’s a cool dude
Love how you get excited when something works!
it turned out excellent Brad! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks, Scott. Happy New Year!
Doing adjustments to my work bench as well. Thanks for some great ideas.
I really like this bench Brad! Also the tip about the plywood wedge clamp is one I'll be using! Thanks
Thanks, Michael! Merry Christmas!
I also did clamp storage at the end of my outfeed/assembly table. Now they are always at my fingertips when I need them.
I like your design, and your Craftsmanship!
Well done!
Another great video. Well done. The drawer installation tip by flipping it on its side was nice. 👍
Looks good but the one thing that you missed was the one attachment that I find most useful - a narrow tray that allows me to quickly grab a pencil (and, in my case, an eraser) without having to open any drawers.
Merry Christmas Brad, to you and your family
I like that, Brad. That’s great.
The comic relief on this one was on point. More chuck!
You have gonna be smiling for the perfect part. That's so true and Who can say it better👍😆
I expect the perfectionist in you to address those misaligned drawers. Good to see youtube "pros" mess up too.
I love that work bench and all the draws! Thanks! Merry Christmas y'all!

Fun twist to this video. Thx for mixing it up.
8:16 That is a brilliant way to store clamps!
Great Christmas morning watch - I am in the middle of building my workbench and will no doubt grab (steal) some ideas 🙂..
Brilliant, Brad! Fantastic work!!! 😃
But hey, when finishing parts that still need to be glued up later... Blue tape! And no guess work. 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
I thought about that, but didn't want to waste the tape 😀
@@Fixthisbuildthat Damn! You're worse than me! 😂
I totally understand!
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brad! (And I guess Chuck.... 😂)
Same to you! And Chuck says "back atcha"
So organized for the new year!
Love the setup for the storage!!! Great video too! Thanks!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Huge fan! Thanks for all the videos Brad! You inspired me to start my own channel.
Love this video - super helpful for the bench I just built, had no idea what I was going to do down there beyond a slab of plywood on the base. This gave me lots of inspiration! Thanks!!!!
Good project
Another great video. Can’t wait to start building my own bench and storage.
OMG Brad, yes the second hose holder is more offensive! LOL!!!!! That was great dude.
Very enjoyable video, and great finish to the workbench build. Thanks for tips along the way too frfr
Any time!
Return of Chuck! Yessss!!!!
I need to build something super similar for my outfeed table. Just not sure if I want drawers or just shelving. Like you, the perfectionist is hard to fight off.
Nicely done Brad! Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well... 👍👍🌲🌲
The best christmas present
Merry Christmas!
Nice bench, I like it
Oh man I love these videos! (And I just realized you’re in Franklin. I’m right next door in Thompsons Station!) Great work as usual.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brad.
Love how this turned out. I need to enclose the base of my workbench so this gave me some great ideas......thanks for this and all your great video's. I watch every one! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
Merry Christmas Señor to you and your family. Awesome build gonna get me some plans!!!!
Feliz Navidad!
You could do a pull out shelf, drawer without a face, put a lip around it so things don't slide off.
Loving the sick voice. Nice, deep, and slightly raspy! Lol
Great end result as always!
very nice .... think I will do pretty much the same thing.
Another great project.
Great addition and lots of useful add-ons. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Nice job. I wonder why you didn't go with finger joints in the drawers

Great project, great work bench and love to humor mixed in! I need to get down to the garage and do some projects. From JC, keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas 🎄 and Go Vols! GB🍅!!
If you are ever going to stack plywood like that, you can go ahead and have the CNC carve in dowel holes to align everything. Makes everything easier.
I had a slightly different take on the hose holder - I thought it looked just like one of those "cat's rear end" towel holders, and now I can't unsee that! Great solution though.
Merry Christmas 🎄😀
So freakin' hilarious!!! Well done video! And the information presented is stellar as usual! Cheers!

That's awesome, didn't realize they had one there. Happy New Year, Tom!
Great video!! Building my first "Forever Workbench" 🥰... ok yeah...I'm in love with my wood work...nevermind. Subscribed! 👍
Pretty nice my friend! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Brad!!!!!
Everything is amazing. Lord I wish you were my neighbor.
where is the link to get the plans?

You definitely make some cool stuff
Merry Christmas bro. Love your channel

Hello... Gotta say as Intrigued as I was watching your handiwork I was also lmbo. Litterally 😆 🤣 😂
I need more cowbell. I mean red arrows. ❤
Was going to go for a third, but come on...I have standards
Love your videos, dude......and oh yeah...GO VOLS!!!!!!!
Great video, as always
At the end, reminds me of Funkhouser Racing, Cousin Ricky. hahaha
Two down at least ten to go, come on now, let’s build another. It did turn out great though.
Workbench’s are so much fun to build, high return on the money too!
02:30 lol @ looking at imperfection😂
That's great, Brad. Of course, you had to get the "me" nails in there. It's good that you were able to somewhat overcome your ECD to finish this. You'll probably find Chuck sleeping on top of the bench now (lol). Merry Christmas.

“Back at you buddy” 🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always. Merry Christmas to you and yours... And Chuck LOL 🤣
Looks great..!
Great job. One thing that would bother me about this is sawdust and small items falling through the dog holes and are now harder to get to (e.g. between the cabinets and the shop vac or on the middle of the shelf). Do you have any plans to make a tray or something to make clean up easier?
That was what he was trying to build when he realized there wasn't a piece long enough to make a drawer front (grain direction issue). So he postponed it to later.
Merry Christmas! What is the storage you use for your nails?
Glad I'm not the only one who trips over the sander hose
another great video i am a fan
