The "Ultimate Workbench" is a dream to have in the shop and after moving into my new shop I have decided to design and build a slightly smaller version better suited for the garage workshop. This Versatile Workbench is an absolute beast. Spanning a respectable 4' x 6' there is plenty of space to utilize as an outfeed table, assembly table, and even a router table!
With all that you've come to expect from an "Ultimate" build this workbench has everything that you could ask for.
- Dust Collection
- Electrical System
- Parts Organizer Bin Storage
- Router Table
- Deep Drawer Storage
I also have a smaller version of this workbench design:
"Shmedium" Workbench [3'x5']

How have the casters held up? More specifically, the 2x4 they are attached to? You attached them to the cross pieces, which makes me think that the entire weight of the table is being held up by the pocket screws attaching the cross pieces. Please correct me if thats not the case. I really like this design, but want to understand that part.
Hahaha, just watched part 2. Guess I'm not the only one wondering. Thanks for clarifying.
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
You're presentation is excellent. Clear, concise, and with just enough humor, mostly self deprecating. Keep it up.
Incredible that you were able to find mostly straight 2x4s. I would have to go to my home store three different times at six month intervals just to be able to pick and choose ones that are that straight.
I gave up. I now go to the good lumber store pay 60 Cents more for the "premium" grade. But I am simply in a better mood after ... :) Last visit to the orange store I had 12 rejects for every pick at that rate I had rearrange the entire pallet and was PO'ed
I may try 84 Lumber next time I need construction lumber
As a retired design engineer, I love to view videos of other woodworkers' designs of benches, jigs, fixtures, etc. So far, what I've seen of your new bench, the design is both well conceived and easy to duplicate. I'm looking forward to viewing the follow-on videos to see how it all comes together.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your video, you have a natural speaking style that makes the video easy to watch without sacrificing quality of content.
Keep up the good work, Cheers ... Dave
I was right there but the comments about the wheel strength then attatching to a single pocket screwed cross stud not the double glued and screwed legs was kinda giving me shivers... Definetly not going to get close to the rating that way .... Though probably not a real issue for the intended use ... Ah, the MDF will help still like pole barns hanging trusses off bolted in headers instead of on top of posts ... no likey the stress is all on the fasteners not the material
I like building bottom-up; you get a sturdy base to work from, your casters are on, and once you flip-it...you don't need to again.
Perfect timing, I’m retiring and the end of the week and my first project is a serious upgrade to my woodworking shop. This maybe one of my first projects.
Getting my garage shop in order, finally, and need an assembly/outfeed table. Was even looking to make somethign in the 48"x72" range. Shop Nation to the rescue!
Man I really like your designs! I would really like to see a table saw and miter saw combo from you. I would definitely pay for the design.
Don’t know how you do it but you just continue to make awesome videos that inspire me to get in the shop and get into it.
When is the second video coming? I’m considering starting this build right away
Great info, fun to watch. I'm going to build this very soon. I've been in the woodworking business for 40 years and I learn something new everyday. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but in all the shops I've worked in and owned, wear gloves while using machinery is a no no . . . The glove can catch the blade that's turning and it will pull your hand into the blade. Keep up the great work!!
Just wanted to say your plans are absolutely amazing. The amount of detail and thought is 2nd to none. Thanks Travis!
Last workbench I built was made out of driftwood I found on the beach. The top is 4x8 by 6ft boards. I drilled 1/2 inch holes through 3 of them in 3 different places and the fourth one I threaded with a tap. I used all thread to hold them together and it turned out pretty nice. The frame and sides were 2x6. It looks like it is over a hundred years old.
One thing to remember is "You Can't Make Everyone Happy". Do whats best for you.
Looked at your plans...impressive and unbelievably inexpensive...would like to see a variety of storage shed plans of the same quality...keep up with the great ideas...you’re a winner with this meme...congrats!....
Love my Ridgid jointer and the dust collection even with a shop vac is pretty good!
I'll have to take a look at those casters. Great build so far. Now to find the next part in the series.
Fantastic job man! Keep krushing it!
Most important aspect of the build: dingleberry proof!
Bought these plans last week, however I think I’ll actually buy your smaller ones once they’re ready. Looking great!
That is the perfect size for my garage - Awesome! Looking forward to the rest of the video series as I learn as much from your "oops" moments as I do from your examples.
I’m getting started on mine. 40”x72” top.Milled cut and laminated the frame parts. No glue, just screws. 😮
This looks awesome. Practical design with common tools.
Nice build! Great job on making it accessible to those with minimal shop equipment.
I have a big concern- all of the weight is held by the 4 pocket screws on the wheel/foot mounting member. Those joints really need some form of reinforcement.
I have the same jointer. Works great for my cutting boards.
We have the same epoxy flakes colors. We even have have the same color of cabinets. Love it. The only complaint I have is when I accidentally drop small things like screws, it's gone! Like it magically disappears and good like finding it. LOL
Love the bench!! That dust collection is on point for that jointer 😂😂. I'm sure the new bench will handle it nicely though. Love this channel, learn a lot from you Travis, thanks!!
Looks very stable table 👍
looking forward t0 part 2 and the smaller version plans
I actually have an outfeed/assembly table with those exact dimensions on casters in my 2 car garage!! You will not regret the size. I am curious to see how you fit everything into it though, that is where mine falls short! Awesome video, love the channel!
Well this will certainly inspire me to finally clean up my shop and get a real outfeed table going. I have been cleaning up 2x4's on my old jet 6" jointer the same way (1/16" passes) for finishing our basement ceiling so this should be a snap. I tossed a 35 degree bevel on them for a poor man's coffered look. Had to laugh at the dust mine is not much better. Got a new miter saw with close clearance so I can move that off to a side wall leaving room for a much improved setup .... Thx lots of good ideas in your video.
Great job Travis. Can't wait for the other videos. I'm doing a remodel of my shop and as soon as it's done this will be one of my first projects to make. Keep up the excellent work. So many UA-cam woodworkers when they get big move away from the everyday projects and just do a bunch of vlogs. BTW, other plans that I've purchased have been spot on and extremely easy to follow for anyone who may consider getting one of your project plans.
Found your channel while researching for my next upcoming shop project "the perfect work bench". Love the designs that you have come up with and really thinking things through. I will be sure to be implementing some of the things you have shared and looking forward to seeing this one completed. Thanks again for sharing!
Super stoked to see this whole thing. I love all that's happening here. Also, random coincidence, I got that same PC 6" jointer about a month ago because I figured something was better than nothing.
Having just built my own combination saw-table/outfeed/assembly table albeit for my little DeWalt 7491, I think the ideal size for average 2-car garage weekend workshop is around 3x5 feet assuming a discrete table saw. Mine is closer to 3x6 because it also serves as a stand for my job saw.
I like the customary "slap" of the wood at like 6:06. Laughed at that one. Great content as always. Cheers.
Looks great. A bit big for my space but I’m excited to see the build.
Looks like it’s going to be a nice workbench. Your other one looked like a pretty nice design. I love that you have a corvette, if I’m correct, in your shop while you’re working on that lol.
My wife’s car!
Great video I'm building my own workbench at the minute and you've gave me a few good ideas thanks 👍
Thanks. I’ll get your plans. Good job on your videos. Convinced me to get the F3 (220 3HP) instead of Sawstop.
I just used a 3/0 x 7/0 solid core door set at the same height as my table saw.
Awesome design so far. I have to add, I used the same casters on my pool table. The legs were too short, so I got those to raise the height and the screw adjustment made leveling to table a dream
I need a jointer so bad! Love the bench, well done SN...
I have a Grizzly G0893 Jointer. The built in dust collection works great.
Looks awesome so far, ready for the next video
That’s a good looking set up
I bought the plans for the cabinets this weekend and will be buying these plans soon also. Thanks for all you do!
These next installments are gonna be great. 👌
I've had that same Porter Cable jointer for a couple years now. It's nice for short pieces but as the lumber gets longer, accuracy decreases. I have seen people build table extensions to help it. Maybe you could build a flip-top cart with extension wings for it? Awesome job as always!
You make these vids so interesting...
Your DeWalt compound miter saw is crying out to you for a Freud Ultimate Crosscut blade, AND a Zero Clearance Insert from Infinity Tools. The ZCI is extremely important for the small cutoffs shown in this video!
Noted! I’ll look into them
Just started watching a few day ago but man was sad when I realized I have to wait for the next episode on this 1
Awesome great job. I just stumbled across your channel now I’m hooked .
Great work
Looking good so far! I need to make a new workbench and this is giving me motivation to start. I don't have a ton of space but I like some of the things you've implemented. I really dig the brown paper roll idea so I think I'm going to have to use that when I get around to my bench. Keep up the great work!
The casters are indeed very strong, however the pocket hole screws that tie the cross braces into the frame are not. A half lap or mortise/tenon joint would transfer the load better.
Awesome work yet again!!!
I'm really curious about the dust collection portion, because if it fits what I'm aiming to do with my current setup I may just buy your plans and modify them to fit my needs.
Looks like a great one.
Just a comment on the joiner... I know you don't have a tablesaw but 'the way to do it" is to make one side flat with the Joiner then cut to width with the Table saw.
Come on part 2! 😁
Sweet bench! Gotta get me some of those castors now✌🏻😄
I own that same jointer, and have a really low CFM 4” dust collector comparing to the HF one even. I get almost no chips or dust using the 4” port
11:50 If Johnny Lawrence had a Corvette...BADASS!
Nice Job!. Just what I have been looking for.
man, I'd really like to see one that fits perfect in the bed of a Ford 150: 5-1/2' x 4'.
for the love of god get your self an aspiration system. it costs around 150$ and you wont have to deal with so much sawdust (not a vacuum cleaner) just for the jointer since you will be limited to 2.5 meters. get a good one and connect the whole workshop to it. 1 vacum cleaner to rule them all basically. 1000$ for it.
i just started building my workshop and this thing saves me time cleaning it after i am done. i connected miter, table saw, router table, planer and jointer to it and it works via Arduino Bluetooth controller :)
Great work
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. but i already bought the plans for the other one :(
I really like what you do. Tks a lot
The bench looks amazing. I love the design so far. My only concern is how easy/ difficult it will be to lower the lock on the wheels which them tucked in that far.
I've built a more mobile version (I like to cut nearest to my garage door but store the bench deeper into my "garage") and used a different attachment for the casters. Instead of the stretchers he has added for his casters, I doubled the bottom stretchers and mounted them on edge, so I have a 3" wide place the attach the casters; you will need to watch the total height of the bench, so you can still use it as an outfeed table (I used 2-1/2" locking casters with a high load-rating).
So, I'll start with I love Shop Nation. I learn a ton, enjoy the video production and tinge of goofiness (because I'm that way myself). And I'm totally going to build a slightly different version of the Ultimate Workbench (most likely at a 6' by 3' size) due to the size of my work space.
I wanted to say all that before I ask what might be considered a stupid or insulting question:
Is it just me, or is the entire weight of this work bench resting on 8 pocket hole screws with glue? Wouldn't it be better to route a bit of a slot into the laminated frame to provide support from the frame against the cross pieces with the pocket holes? Maybe I'm missing something here (and would love to know, if so). It just seems like those laminated sides to the frame end up being all looks and then unhelpful in terms of support if all the weight ends up resting on those 8 pocket holes screes and glue. Maybe I'm under estimating how strong that joint is? Anyhow, I'd love help in my thinking there.
Keep up the good work!
That's what I thought too at first, but those panels on the side are bearing a lot of the weight as well
The panels are not resting on the floor, so that weight still ends up bearing on the pocket holes. Yes, this design is pretty, but the caster location is flawed if there is no additional support added to the horizontal braces in the future. Those pocket hole screws are under shear loading as well, which is not what screws are meant to do.
Hi just wondering when part 2 was looking to be released? Appreciate you’re probably very busy with the day job and other things going on in the World today. 😳 Just waiting for the metric plans and i’ll be raring to get this build going.
Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome video, found you on IG now you have a new UA-cam subscriber!! Keep at it
If you work with 4x8 sheets and want to break them down on your bench, you want it at least 6” smaller in both directions in case you need to clamp guides or jigs to the sheets while working with them.
Best to predrill the 2x4 laminations if you are not clamping them. A tapered bit predilled would allow the superficial piece to be drawn against the deeper piece and make a tighter lamination. Also, you did not apply any meaningful force when you did drive the screws. Even stepping on the 2x4 at the location for each screw would have been helpful. Without predrilling or having clamping pressure, the tip of the screw has a tendency to push out the deeper piece of wood to create a void.
That being said, I like the design. I am planning on building something similar, but will probably use plywood laminations for the legs and stretchers. Keep up the great work. Subscribed!
That was brutal watching you use your jointer. Those smaller ones don’t push the dust out so you need good dust collection and it looks like you have sawdust caught in the cabinet of it causing it to come out the top.
Looking forward to the rest of the build! Can you go into a bit more detail on those casters? I don't understand how the locking mechanism works, even from looking at the product on Amazon.
Agreed, it looks like you have to spin those little orange gears to raise/lower. Doesn't sound quick and easy.
Plans call for 1-1/4 pan head screws. Should be 1". The entire thickness is 1 - 1/4 Definitely sketchy when screwing the top in leui of clamps
Will get that fixed!
@@ShopNation I actually cut real small blocks of 1/2 ply and used them to shorten length of the screws as a work around. More clamping area also!
If you don't have a jointer of any kind, what's the next best thing?
Table saw
Have you had any problems with your pocket hole jig ? I have one just like that one, whenever I try to lock the part down the jig clamp just pops away from the position I’m trying to lock in.
I have that same jointer. You have to make sure your started with a clean cut discharge area. If it backs up it's hell. It's ok to start over. And upon further watching... You had your dust collector on the wrong end 🤦
That’s how my dust collection usually turns out lol
Looking interesting so far. What software did you use to create your plans? Looking forward to see the finished product.
Honest question. is the weight of the whole table supported only by the 8 screws that join the crossbeam with the wheels to the legs.. is that enough ?
Nope, answered in next video
Looks like an awesome build, and one I think I'll build to replace the one I build from Woodshop Junkies... However any chance of having the plans in metric?
Ok, how many screws does it take to hold two boards together? Lol, a lot.
Hey! Great job, looking forward to the end-result. I'm always wondering if a full plywood construct isn't cheaper and makes a better use of the available space. Curious about your opinion.
Instead of 2.4's, make the beams from laminated lengths of Baltic Birch and it will be seriously solid, heavy, and oh... expensive! But without a table saw it would be miserable to cut those all up.
This is awesome. Is there a reason you chose to mount the end walls recessed several inches as opposed to flush with the frame posts?
Yes
That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. 🤷♂️
I think I saw where all of your shavings went.
Framing adds a lot of weight, and steals a lot of internal space. Do the sums, and sheet only construction is strong beyond any possible need. Cheaper, quicker, lighter, more storage- WNTL?
down below where???
I'm wondering what is your main profession since this is only a side gig? You are rocking it, and also how did you learn to do all this?
I'm curious as to how big your current shop is. I'm still figuring out "what" tools I can get for the new space I have and if I'm going to have to scale down anything. My current space is just over 850 sq feet.
So if we bought that jointer, we don’t have to worry about buying a dust collector? 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome bench. How tall is it? I’ve seen a ton of different heights depending on the work, depending on the height of the person’s elbow??
Hey where do you get your music for your videos? I’ve heard some of it on some other channels too, it’s sounds awesome!
I cannot find the plans for the smaller, simpler table. Where would I find it? Thank you.
My Etsy shop, linked in the video description and on my website
How easy or quick are those casters to raise and lower? Have you done a plan making vid? I can draw up models all day but getting from that to usable plans is where things get muddled for me.
Yup, did a video specifically about plans!
I’m still trying to figure out how and/or why your still don’t have a tablesaw? Are you only using a track saw?
How easy is it to raise and lower those caster wheels?
