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!
I've seen so many of these but YOUR design is the BEST I've seen and very well explained. LOVE IT! Finally found the one that I will try to replicate nearly exact. Only thing I'll do different, is make it 2 separate rolling workbenches that can bolt together when desired for the extra length, but otherwise can be separated so I'm not always stuck with an 8 ft table.
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.
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!
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.
I made this bench this week, but added a router table to the opposite end. Thanks for the walk through and instructions. Now subscribed. Dom p.s. I tried to add images, but for some reason, I can't.
I like it. Simple and functional. A lot of videos with stuff like this get overly complicated. And yeah, maybe it looks better but you just take more time and money to build it for no real functional benefit. I just got a miter saw and was looking for content like this. Looks good, I will reference your build when planning my own. Thanks.
This is great and all but you left out how you actually secured the saw to the table with no-show screws and how you avoided interference with the saw and the rear cross brace when the saw is flipped under.
I agree with everybody else here, this table seems great and would really suit my new workshop (garage). I would love it if you would send me a copy of the plans for the build. Not sure if I need to send you a PM or not?
Interesting piece of work. I will definitely be using this idea. Something helpful you may or may not know or think about. Cover your top plywood for your table saw run and the bottom of the miter saw with formica fairly cheap at Lowe's or home depot. Get some turtle wax to put on the formica every once in a while to help your wood glide off your table saw with ease.
This is beautiful, and exactly what I'm looking to build! I emailed for the step-by-step and already received them; I can't wait to get started this weekend! I'm going to see if I can figure out how to mount my Kreg jig or some other low profile tool to the other side of the miter flip top. Then it could be covered with a temporary plate while in use as an outfeed. Thank you again!
You mentioned that you received your plans for the build. Can you tell me how you contacted Jay? I emailed him a few days ago to ask for the plans. I haven’t received a reply Really like to get started on this bench. Any help appreciated.
You can use 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" wood screws and washers to secure the miter saw to the tray. Just ensure they do not protrude through the other side of the plywood. (that's what he wrote in the video description)
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.
That's a great table. I only have a small woodworking workshop (10'x13'), so my cutting table will need to go in my garage (which is also the laundry and storage). I need a table that is this neat and won't bother my partner. Will email you for the plans!
How did you figure out where to drill the hole for the bolt to get the flip top to flush with the table and still get the 3.5" depth for the miter saw to be flush with the table when in use? Can you provide that depth and center location to drill the hole for the bolt? Thanks.
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?

Awesome build J. I am searching for a build to do a mobile work bench and i like yours. It's simple for the average DIYer to complete, and after watching your video a couple of times I want to tackle this project this coming spring. How do I get a copy of the build plans and my miter and table saws are different so what are the critical measurements I should be aware of for proper installation. Again, great video looking forward to doing this. Terry....
@@jbuildsdiy 5:03 J, what a great job on this table. I’ve been looking for this exact table for a year. I’ve even downloaded another version to build because I thought it was the closest I could get to what I wanted. Luckily, I saw your video and have thrown those plans away. How can I get I get a copy of the plans for this? Happy to pay! Thanks so much! Terry
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!
there was a metal one we used 20yrs ago, we called it the trimbox, held the power miter had big drawers for routers and jigsaws and such small drawers for fasteners had a light multiple electrical outlets compressor and had wings so she got about 1214 feet of table space when you put both wings out. Anybody ever seen one of those? I’ve been looking for him for 10 years
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?
How do you ensure that when miter saw is flip down, it won't drop? I'm having a hard time to believe that 4 wood screws nailed in a half inch thickness plywood board would hold that miter saw without break down over time.
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!
I know it’s been a while! But this video was awesome ! I have my finished work bench Minus the flip top. Everyone uses a pole to rotate on! The bolts seem like a way easier time! Just need to get my measurements right so it’ll flip up and be flush. Trying to understand how you managed the measurements
Amazing workbench saw station! I'm actually building one right now and am getting close to the saw stations themselves. But I see your awesome idea of a rotating miter saw platform!! So good! I'm wondering, though, how well does the power cord for the miter saw play with the system? Does it get in the way when you rotate that platform? Plug/unplug each time you need? Is that a hassle? Thanks! And really nice, fine work!
Hello! If you run it along the right side of the tray and provide some cable supports to hold the power cord towards the front, it sort of guides itself towards the outlet in the back. I'm uploading a new video to show some of the things I ended up doing on it after the fact that I was unable to show in this video.
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?
@@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??
I am watching this because I need to build a table exactly like this. I was trying to see if I could find your email address for the plans but is there anyway you can give us the blueprints for this? Thank you awesome video!!
What do you do with the gap on the rotary tray when the miter saw is up and in use, did you just shim the saw up 1/4" to make up for that gap so the saw is flush with the tabletop? I'm having trouble with why it was gapped almost a 1/4" if the 2x4's and plywood are the same measurements(it should just rotate the plywood from top to bottom and the 2x4 is 3.5" flush as is, is it because some of the wood is planed?
At the beginning of the video, it showed him squaring off the 2x4s to lose the rounded edges, by trimming off +/- 1/8” from each side, then running through the planer. I suspect this is where the lost 1/4” came from.
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
Sorry, my wife is nagging me to do something so I have to watch the video in a bit, but what are the dimensions of the table? Looks amazing. Wish me luck.....
How did you attach the miter saw to the plywood? Are you worried it will fall off when upside down? Halfway through building my own workbench, and doing a similar construction, but worried about attaching the miter to plywood, rather than nuts/bolts
I ended using kreg wood screws. You could use carriage bolts but will need to recess the carriage bolt on the other side. The kreg wood screws were embedded the entire length of the 3/4” plywood. It’s been working out for me great this entire time. 👍🏼
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

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!
nicely done video, great thought on the build with the flip for the miter saw.
Such a great video to following alone with. Especially for beginners like me
Your use of the 2x4 half lap combined with the laminated square cut but joint supporting top and bottom is great methood. Well done!
I like this and totally doable, Just what I was looking for. What I may add to this, is a router at the other end, similar to the table saw.

Congratulations on your work table and for sharing and we can use your idea. thanks
Like the video really like the way you did the miter saw great job

You skipped the whole part where you marked and cut out the table saw section with the cut outs on the plywood.

How do you ensure that when miter saw is flip down, it won't drop? I'm having a hard time to believe that 4 wood screws nailed in a half inch thickness plywood board would hold that miter saw without break down over time.
Saws weigh like 50 lbs. Thats not much
You can use more screws because yes dropping it down to fast could break it
How do you attach the Mitre saw to the flip shelf. It looks like you didn't drill through the shelf.
Hi, what dust extraction do you use for your dewalt table saw?

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. 👍🏼

What do you do with the gap on the rotary tray when the miter saw is up and in use, did you just shim the saw up 1/4" to make up for that gap so the saw is flush with the tabletop? I'm having trouble with why it was gapped almost a 1/4" if the 2x4's and plywood are the same measurements(it should just rotate the plywood from top to bottom and the 2x4 is 3.5" flush as is, is it because some of the wood is planed?
At the beginning of the video, it showed him squaring off the 2x4s to lose the rounded edges, by trimming off +/- 1/8” from each side, then running through the planer. I suspect this is where the lost 1/4” came from.
base is 3' x 8'
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.
how did you attached the miter saw without going all the way through the plywood into the top?
Do you still have step by step build plans? If so how could I access them. Thanks!
Little less coffee talk, but cool design!
Sorry, my wife is nagging me to do something so I have to watch the video in a bit, but what are the dimensions of the table? Looks amazing. Wish me luck.....
How much of the 2x4 did you have left over? Just so I know how many lengths to grab
I ended up using (19) 2x4x8’s.
How did you attach the miter saw to the plywood? Are you worried it will fall off when upside down?
Halfway through building my own workbench, and doing a similar construction, but worried about attaching the miter to plywood, rather than nuts/bolts
I ended using kreg wood screws. You could use carriage bolts but will need to recess the carriage bolt on the other side. The kreg wood screws were embedded the entire length of the 3/4” plywood. It’s been working out for me great this entire time. 👍🏼
@@jbuildsdiy thank you-hopefully will finish construction this weekend
