Build plans available here: www.etsy.com/listing/976539293/table-saw-workbench-plan?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 I wanted to answer a couple common questions: My table saw is a dewalt DWE7491RS. It comes with an arbor long enough to hold up to a 3/4 inch dado stack. Let me know your thoughts on the build, and what add-ons would be helpful in your workshop.
I just downloaded the plans and have started construction. My shop is a 2 car garage, but because of needing an additional repair bench(business) and a reloading bench(hobby), I'm a little constrained on space both storage and working. my plan is to shorten your plan by 2', which only requires the length dimension change and to add a shelf to the long open end to double storage capacity under the bench. My saw is the same as yours so no further modifications will be necessary. it should be a fun build. Great plans.
Just a shout out and a thank you! I just finished your design for the work bench and enjoying its functionality. I am going to install a T track on the larger side bench.
First of all, kudos to Bob Barker and his awesome and indispensable contributions to your bench build. I have a King Charles that keeps me sane in my shop. The simplicity of this build makes it just that much more special and repeatable for someone like me. I'm finally going to be purchasing my table saw this winter and have looked at several integrated benches and really like the approach you took with this one. You have enough lapping of the joints to insure good stability without getting outrageous with some of the mystery puzzle piece joinery I've viewed on others. They are beautiful and clever, but at the end of the day, it's a workbench and I don't want to be afraid to work on it. I also like your solution to leveling and mobility, like the rest of the bench, it's simple and effective. I wanted to pass along my thanks for taking the time to explain and clearly demonstrate the build ... you even disclose a Mulligan or two in the process. Very few of us can get through a complete project like this error free ... it's the human thing to do ... including it in the video gives the rest of us a bit of confidence knowing were not alone. Consider me a new sub ... Cheers my friend ...
Dude you hit a grand slam with this video. I love your bench, I love the design, I love your attention to detail and most of all I love your dog Bob Barker !
Anthony, the bench is complete now, except for more drawers. I intend to enclose the sections I don't have drawers going in. Great videos! Keep them coming.
GREAT build. I am in a one car garage and this will work for me. I like the fact that the 2X4's are on the inside of the legs so you have a place to clamp projects. Pro Tip, make the saw frame loose and adjust it to the finished height with the saw on the base. The only thing I will add is dust collection for the saw, it spits sawdust EVERYWHERE! !! !!!
Thank you for making this video. From Bob Barker to your thumbs up friend, this is hugely helpful. After saving enough for the DWE7491RS your plans will make a perfect outfeed bench for my next project.
Nice! (my only suggestion would be to use 3/4" plywood for a base then recess screw a 1/4" piece of plywood on top of that for the finished table top. easy to replace the 1/4" when the time comes. :)
I made an outfeed table and cut ~1” holes in the bottom shelf above those adjustable feet, so all I need to do to adjust is stick a screwdriver (or drill for large adjustments) in that hole to adjust the legs - no lying on the floor adjusting in cramped spaces. Just a suggestion!
As a non-track saw buyer myself, I bought a 100” cutting guide to go with my circular saw. I got the Kreg one and it works well but I saw a better option at Home Depot for like $30. It’s only two pieces of aluminum so less error when joining the two tracks than 4 with the Kreg.
I bought your plans and I ended up using my 30 year old Craftsman table saw. It needed a little work, but now it runs like a charm. The thing is I did have to make adjustments as my saw was a little deeper than the Dewalt saw that you used. I also had to make it a few inches in width shorter , so that when it rolled into my shed it would fit through my door. Mine ended up being 42" wide. Still plenty of working room.After it was done the drawer in the front just seemed to deep. Yours must of been deeper., Or i missed a step. It fit a lot of things and sturdy enough for weight but things were hard to find with the deepness. So i decided to make it into two drawers. The top drawer being 4 to 5" tall, fit most of the small tools while working with wood, and the bottom drawer was about 6 to 7" tall. I put a notch on the top bottom drawer to use it to pill open, and a notch on the bottom side of the top drawer to pull open. Now I did have to use 1/2" plywood around my notch to close it in 1 1/2" rectangular notch out inside to close it in and to get your fingers in there. But overall it was fun to build. I used the far back of the table to mount me a a router under neath with t track. I put electrical plugs in so that everything can be plugged in and also I had a spare battery charger so i screwed that behind my saw to the side. I mounted a measuring tape holder on the front so that i can always have a tape measure. I put in a crank pencil sharper with a place to hold pencils. Last thing I did was to make a holder for all my battery powered drills. Made a place to put my pipe clamps. Anyways your plans were great and as I was building it lots of things kept pooping in my mind to make it a one stop bench with accessories.
Sounds like it came out well. And yeah, the drawer is deep, but that was deliberate for me. I keep my dado stack and a couple other bulky things in there. smaller ones would work well too depending on what your using it for.
Thank you for the clear instructions! I love how you explain how to problem solve if you do not have the “idea” tool. I will enjoy watching your channel grow.😊
I just bought the same table saw and I’ve been searching for ideas on how to set it up in my shop. Thanks to your video I’m putting together a plan that I think will work great, but first I need to to finish my shop. Thank you, I subscribed and liked.
Well done. I subscribed. I enjoy watching people do what they enjoy doing. You seem like a cool dude. The dog and cheerful and helpful neighbor are pleasant additions to the build video.
I love this build. You out done yourself. I'm buying these casters and stops at this moment. I won't be building such a table like yours. about 30" deep, 8ft long with a cut out for a stool to go under the workbench.
I am happy I found this video. I've been looking for a well built, nice looking, table saw including work bench idea for a while and I think this is the one!
I’m currently building my own right now, I added on an attachment piece for my homemade router table, but I’m currently remodeling the table saw part because I made mine ghetto. I also made a nice slot at the bottom for me to store my planer and a secondary drawer for all my tools and on the opposite side I hang my power tools. Mine is pimped out. Not sure what the hell to do with my miter saw and I still want to buy a jointer and I corporate it in somehow. Maybe make another attachment piece.
I really like the bench!! So much so, I bought the plans. I'm going to make additions to your plans and make miter saw station on one of the sides (remove the saw and add a top to cover the shelf the miter saw sets on) and also install a bench wood vise opposite end of the table saw. I think I'll add bench dog holes on the end by the vise, too. Thanks a lot for the video. It sparked thoughts of "grandeur"...at 3 AM out of a sound sleep! 😁
Anthony, I wanted to thank you for your excellent video and plans. I built my first workbench following your plans (with a few modifications) and am very happy with the result. Recently we replaced an old wooden garage door with a new one, and I recycled all the plywood and 2 x 4s from that door (more than 40 years old) and did not have to buy any wood for the project except 1/4" masonite for the top and some trim. I doubled 2 x 4s instead of using 4 x 4s for the legs, and I eliminated the drawer, as I thought that space would be good for storing a cross-cut sled, and I plan to install a router plate at the end opposite the table saw next.
Awesome! Glad it worked out well for you, and the money savings with the repurposed wood is really nice right now. I originally planned to put a router plate on the opposite end as well, but somehow I ended up talking myself into making a stand alone router table instead (I just finished that project, and will have a video for it). Both ways work great
Very nice, I intend to build this but instead of centering the saw I will put it to the far left and use the extra space on the right to create a router table, use the saws fence for both!
I used those casters making my workbench. I was very disappointed in them. They are dangerous (tripping hazard) but they kept popping open tilting my workbench. The popping was a very loud sound scaring me. I went with conventional swivel casters with brake. Nice job on your workbenck really nice video.
Nice bench. I would like to build something similar, but I use a dado stack frequently and need to remove the riving knife. It looks like the handle on the left side of the saw is blocked by plywood. I might see if I can add some hinges to lift the small tabletop to the left of the saw so I can access the riving knife release.
You are right, I need to tilt the saw back to remove it. I thought about adding in a hinge, but after using it, its not a big dela for me. it tilts off the edge easily, and the stops get it back in place fast/reliably.
Thanks for this. Just the sort of thing I’m about to build. Get a better push stick though. Your habanero hand was way to close to that blade for my liking. Some great ideas. Thanks again.
Already bought the plans from Etsy when I saw and watched the video. Looks like exactly what I wanted for my new garage shop, looking forward to building it myself.
Awesome bench! Definitely going to use this as inspiration. Also at 0:37, you mentioned eye and ear protection, wouldn't hurt to have a respirator too ;)
Pretty sweet table my friend. I’m searching for ideas to add in my new garage. I think building this table will suffice my woodworking needs. You should add a nice stain or even polyurethane to the top of the table. It will both help glide your future cuts along as well as protect it over time. Birch is durable but pretty soft which could dent up over time. But hey you built yourself a pretty great mobile table for a 1/3 of paying for one. Well done to ya boys!
Do watch your fingers with a nailer. Sometimes they can double fire in the same place so the 1st nail that left the gun is going to deflect and wonder away from just going straight (which means if your fingers are in line, the nail may travel into your digits) (eg watch your fingers when nailing a corner together).
Pretty sure I'm gonna use this as a reference to make a similar bench setup. Want to do a 4x8 bench in this configuration, but also have a fold down miter station. Great work.
@@woodpackdiy Cheers, yeah I currently have 2 benches built to the sides of my garage as I have a sloped/graded garage. But where decided I want to disassemble those for more vertical storage on the sides instead and then a bench on Casters I can move around as needed or push to the back of the garage in the winter when I park in there.
Hi Anthony, This reminds me of when I made my dewalt table saw bench, yours is a great build, nice and solid and a nice video to watch, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
This is great. Your mitre is the same as my first one that my mom got me. I REALLY appreciate you showing how everyone is human. I’m planning to buy this same table saw and I love how the big space is an empty slate for shelves, dust collection, or a router lift. I’ll be buying your plans soon! 😃
For edge pieces/repairs you don't need edge clamps. Simply use a few screw/F-clamps vertically close to the edge, then hammer some wooden wedges in behind the shaft to put pressure on the edge.

Let me know your thoughts on the build, and what add-ons would be helpful in your workshop.
nice design
Ville være rart at vi som danskere kunne læse svaret
Thumbs up for the friend's goofy smile and pose after doing a thing.
Nice build! We all need a friend like Howard!
I'm considering building this next week. Your friend stopping and looking at the camera a couple times cracks me up.
Just purchased your plans on Etsy and picked up lumber. Excited to get started, thank you!! I know this was a lot of work.
I just downloaded the plans and have started construction. My shop is a 2 car garage, but because of needing an additional repair bench(business) and a reloading bench(hobby), I'm a little constrained on space both storage and working. my plan is to shorten your plan by 2', which only requires the length dimension change and to add a shelf to the long open end to double storage capacity under the bench.

Just a shout out and a thank you! I just finished your design for the work bench and enjoying its functionality. I am going to install a T track on the larger side bench.
Awesome, thank you!
First of all, kudos to Bob Barker and his awesome and indispensable contributions to your bench build. I have a King Charles that keeps me sane in my shop.
The simplicity of this build makes it just that much more special and repeatable for someone like me. I'm finally going to be purchasing my table saw this winter and have looked at several integrated benches and really like the approach you took with this one. You have enough lapping of the joints to insure good stability without getting outrageous with some of the mystery puzzle piece joinery I've viewed on others. They are beautiful and clever, but at the end of the day, it's a workbench and I don't want to be afraid to work on it. I also like your solution to leveling and mobility, like the rest of the bench, it's simple and effective.
I wanted to pass along my thanks for taking the time to explain and clearly demonstrate the build ... you even disclose a Mulligan or two in the process. Very few of us can get through a complete project like this error free ... it's the human thing to do ... including it in the video gives the rest of us a bit of confidence knowing were not alone.

Dude you hit a grand slam with this video. I love your bench, I love the design, I love your attention to detail and most of all I love your dog Bob Barker !
Thank you!
Clamp is your friend, but you do need a real friend in woodworking. 🙂
Anthony, the bench is complete now, except for more drawers. I intend to enclose the sections I don't have drawers going in. Great videos! Keep them coming.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! I do all kinds of tinkering in my shop but need to make the most use of space. Thank you!
GREAT build. I am in a one car garage and this will work for me. I like the fact that the 2X4's are on the inside of the legs so you have a place to clamp projects. Pro Tip, make the saw frame loose and adjust it to the finished height with the saw on the base. The only thing I will add is dust collection for the saw, it spits sawdust EVERYWHERE! !! !!!

@@woodpackdiy thank you.
I love that workbench bro! That is exactly what I need in my garage
thanks!
Very nice job on that! Only change I would make is put some formica or a thin sheet of stainless steel on the top.
Good idea!
Really nice. Have the same saw and been checking out the dozens of ideas out there any in my mind this one is the cleanest.
Beautiful bench...
I made an outfeed table and cut ~1” holes in the bottom shelf above those adjustable feet, so all I need to do to adjust is stick a screwdriver (or drill for large adjustments) in that hole to adjust the legs - no lying on the floor adjusting in cramped spaces. Just a suggestion!
Basic carpenters rule " Mark Twice Cut Once" Love the video, gonna keep following your DIY videos.
Glad you liked it! And yeah, unfortunately this time I opted for the measure once, cuss twice option.
Such a nice shop deserves such a nice table. 👍
As a non-track saw buyer myself, I bought a 100” cutting guide to go with my circular saw. I got the Kreg one and it works well but I saw a better option at Home Depot for like $30. It’s only two pieces of aluminum so less error when joining the two tracks than 4 with the Kreg.
Congrats on completing this! well done!
Great work. Keep the videos coming. There is no video content that can not be improved by a dog. Well done Bob.
honestly one of the best videos I've seen about making a workbench, Definitely going to be getting the plans once I make space in the workshop..
thank you!

Thank you!
That was a good video. Great build and very nice walk-through, especially how you made do withOUT some of the ideal tools.

Love it. I might just build one
@10:32, would have loved to view you fitting that notched table saw plywood base in ;)
Haha, that would’ve been interesting
Nice clean build. I like it

phenomenal...
Great y'all! Thanks for sharing this build!
great job!!!
Came for the dog, stayed for the build. Great video; subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
nice job..i have a similar table....yours looks like a pro
This is a great build. I am just laying out my small shop space and this is very helpful. Nicely done!!

Yeah, didnt realize I was doing that till someone pointed it out. I am more carefull with my hand and finger placement now. gotta stay safe!
BUON PROGETTO, OTTIMA LA REALIZZAZIONE.
COMPLIMENTI.

SALVIO
this was awesome! thank you and loved the pro tips too!! :)
Awesome video! He is a natural. I'm just amazed at all his talents -- doctor, author and wood craftsman!
Looks good. Two thumbs 👍🏽 but these type of saw needs dust collector to keep out of over heating controls
Outstanding job. I have the same table saw and will do your build. Thanks for sharing.
That's a solid, sturdy looking bench/out-feed table! Well done.
Thanks!
Your problem solving with limited tools is impressive!
Thank you!
You will get a much better match on wood filler if you use sawbust from your project and glue. Perfect match every time.
Looks great!
Thanks for the video, got your plans and will
post when I can get it built.
Awesome! Can't wait to see how it goes.
Pretty sure I'm gonna use this as a reference to make a similar bench setup.
Want to do a 4x8 bench in this configuration, but also have a fold down miter station.
Great work.
Perfect! I wanted to do a full 4 x 8, but my space wouldn't allow it. I had to make it narrower. Good luck with your build!
@@woodpackdiy Cheers, yeah I currently have 2 benches built to the sides of my garage as I have a sloped/graded garage. But where decided I want to disassemble those for more vertical storage on the sides instead and then a bench on Casters I can move around as needed or push to the back of the garage in the winter when I park in there.
Hi Anthony, This reminds me of when I made my dewalt table saw bench, yours is a great build, nice and solid and a nice video to watch, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Hi great video what is the over all size of the bench
This is great. Your mitre is the same as my first one that my mom got me. I REALLY appreciate you showing how everyone is human. I’m planning to buy this same table saw and I love how the big space is an empty slate for shelves, dust collection, or a router lift. I’ll be buying your plans soon! 😃
Thanks!
Nice job. I’ve seen a lot of different setups for the table saw but none that seemed like they would work for that saw (I have the same one)
Amazing job man
For edge pieces/repairs you don't need edge clamps. Simply use a few screw/F-clamps vertically close to the edge, then hammer some wooden wedges in behind the shaft to put pressure on the edge.
That’s a great tip, thanks!
Awesome!
Wow, that workbench is impressive ! great job
Thanks!
