// ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, I make a simple DIY workbench out of plywood using a style of construction I learned from the wood whisperer (video linked below.) I'm not saying this is the best way to build a workbench, but it's good for a lot of people, so it's worth considering.

-oh, cool, lets see this highly technical woodworking video!
*ends up crying*
haha :)
Yeah man, that was deep!
woodworking plan & guides: Woodworking Plans Hi-Quality Projects and Blueprints horse. woodworkingplansprojectss.blogspot.de
spam much?
Yeah. I don't know why. But I also feel like crying. I don't understand, why you made the legs stick out instead of putting the top on the top. But I am thinking about building a workbench like this for a few days now ... or another one ... more stable, more features ... you know the hussle. Your video convinced me to just do it. Thanks alot! All the best to your son and his best dad in the world!
"We can always be somebody's best" what a great way to end a video.....
Thanks Simon
i don't even watch your videos for the builds anymore. Or rather, they're secondary. Thank you for another wonderful offering.
I see in you something very beautiful: Humility. Congratulations!
Woodworking with poetry . I like that.
I really like this design, man. I'm in the process of designing my new outfeed/assembly table and this checks a lot of boxes for me. The only other think I'd probably add would be drawers for more storage.
Yeah. A drawer would be nice. I didn't do it b/c I have lot of small tool storage already, and I couldn't go big b/c of clearance for the CNC machine
Yea, makes sense. Mine is definitely going to incorporate some Systainer storage, those things take up a ton of space.
Are you getting rid of the Polk table? I gave away my Polk build and made an oversized Torsion table with systainer storage last year. Best decision I've made on a shop project was to take it to a large CNC to have the MFT hole pattern cut out and add 80/20 extrusion to the perimeter. While the torsion was probably overkill, that pattern (and extrusion) unlocks so many work holding and assembly conveniences. Just something to think about (especially with your recent Festool goody packages).
Taylor C yup, I'm kind of tired of losing screws through the holes. Although, that does sound like it'd be sweet. Got any photos?
Yeah...I still have that problem. With mine...they're gone for good. Sent you an email with some links.
Your commentary is the true structure of your videos.
I really like the shallow shelf concept, I find myself doing the same and that would definitely help. I will probably incorporate that into my next work bench build video.
Nice...so far it's been working really well :)
Well thought out, thematic, nice editing, pleasant music, and goes full circle in message. Very well constructed (sorry) and looking forward to the next!
Nice punning my friend :)
This workbench has a lot of the simplicity (and shallow shelf concept) of Donald Judd's desk and work in general. How with simple and austere materials as plywood, you can do brilliant objects. Love your work Chris!
Thanks Patricio :)
Honestly this was one of the best voice overs you e done
I don't reply to many UA-cam vids, but when I do it's for a reason. This design is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a little more "beef" to mine since it will be my primary workbench for now anyways... I ended up dropping the shelf lower for stability, making the legs 6.5 inches, then gluing and screwing the entire thing together. Yes, overkill I know but I wanted to stay away from traditional. It turns out that the workbench doesn't move! there is no racking, is "light weight" and takes all kinds of load. Thank you for posting a great idea!
Never thought I'd watch a useful woodworking video that almost made me shed tears at the end
haha...almost????
Great design. I love how simple, but well executed it is. It hits all the needs you have for it. Nothing more, nothing less.
-Caleb Harris
Oh man... that coffee mug analogy got me right in the feels.
Another great one Chris.
:)
You know how there are songs that you associate with significant events? This was the video I was looking for to start 2018. I'm already subscribed, so this is me liking and commenting.
Thanks Chris!
Thanks Rommel...appreciate it :)
This may actually be a perfect fit for what I need. Thank you for sharing.
Right in the feels. Was not expecting that
u have a very calm, soothing voice. I think I might play your videos just for ambience when my anxiety runs high. great choice with the chill soundtrack, too. I was just trying to figure out a simple workbench with a shallow shelf (for those very reasons!) using my extremely minimal woodworking skills and this was perfect. thanks!
I get that comment a decent amount. Go for it :)
Added this to my shop playlist. Building a house and I'm super excited to build out my new shop space. Going to consider a version of this for my bench.
I won't say that this video is the best. I'll just say it's the best, to me. Great job Chris.
ha...well done :)
Chris just keeps blowing people's minds with awesome wood working content and philosophy!
Nice job Chris! I like how you embraced what will work best for you instead of following what others do.
Great video! I’m asking a friend with woodworking skills to turn a bedroom closet into a bicycle workbench area. He suggested I watch this video first. Thanks! You’ve given me some good ideas!
I'm planning my own workbench currently, and this is yet another idea inspiring video from Chris! Thank you!
Awesome job! You know your work flow and if that bench works for you, Chris, then it doesn't matter what other people think.
Keep up the good work Chris. Thanks for staying true to yourself.
I actually like the revisions you made to Mark's table. I built my own version of Mark's table about 7 years ago, and when I last moved, I gave it to a friend. Like yourself I needed it to double more as a a working surface I could clamp to, and I found that the low bottom shelf I put on it collected too much long-term junk. I still probably wouldn't build this version (still not for me, I think), but I do need to put some thought into building a new outfeed/workbench table. Thanks for the video!
Always look forward to your videos, Chris! Completely agree with your point about a workbench being suited to your individual needs, which may change over time. I don't have the time or space in my shop for a traditional style workbench, and my space limitations require the bench to pull triple duty: workbench, outfeed table, and assembly table. My modest bench made from sheet goods meets all three needs, and therefore keeps me going in the shop. And a side note: your bench set-up in your shop is what inspired me to make a few modifications/upgrades to my existing bench. Keep up the good work!
Nice use of fractals.
I really enjoy the narrative you put into all your videos. It makes the project almost secondary to the story you are telling. It's very much like Wm. Walker Co. videos.
I built the same thing for my workbench and I love it. I did add a piece across the front, to make the edge of the table flush with the legs so that I could add a bench vise, though. It's plenty sturdy and now I have tons of space to work with.
Nice...that would finish the design a bit more too I suppose :)
Nice utilitarian bench. One thing I would have done is to allow for 1/4" melamine to top off the baltic birch. It is somewhat slick and glue doesn't stick to it. Then you have an assembly bench as well, and if it gets nicked with a drill or a saw, turn it over and eventually put another waster on top.
Contemporary Coffee Mug Declaration Practices would be a great album title.
haha
Nice clean job, I too like the small shelf and the explanation of relative adjectives.
Thanks again Chris.
i think the second surface is a great idea!
Excellent video and build. Your reasoning to justify each area was well timed...and disarming. All I'm left with is "this is perfect for you ", and based on the narration I think that's what you were going for. At the end you managed to skillfully blend woodworking into your life philosophy, which was incredibly well executed. Best woodworking video I have seen in a very long time. Bravo, my friend. Bravo!
Thanks Lee...really appreciate that :)
Nice build and video! I really like the simplicity in the design.
Always love your simplistic and beautiful videos. Keep up the great work!
Great pieces of philosophy added into woodworking. Can't wait to see cnc projects.
Love the shallow shelf! I've made that into my outfeed table and love storing tools on it. Can't wait to see what you put together with the X-Carve!
Works for me.
Great story, and I see the need that this fits. I think that shallow shelf will come in really handy.
Thanks Bruce...so far, so good...errrr handy. :-)
Great storytelling, your videos are so soothing
Hi Chris, I can't say what I liked best the work bench of the audio of the work bench. Good Job.
Calming and well made. I followed this a tweaked as needed to suit my needs. Well done
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully this new bench work outs better for you.
your works are so inspiring. I'm planning to start my woodwork shop.
This is a great design, about as simple and inexpensive as it can get. Just about anybody can make one of these workbenches and all you really need is circular saw and a 8 foot straight edge. The 1/2 inch lower top height for outfeed and the low height shelf makes so much sense to me. Thanks, Chris Salomone!
Thanks Bruce...and you're right - super simple!
Awesome video once again :) The table I built for my X-Carve was actually inspired on that Wood Whisperer's video as well! Look forward to see what you'll come up with the X-Carve.
Hey Cris...thanks! I'm excited to see what I come up with too :)
Power was down at my house today so I couldn't work on my next project, so instead I sat in the heat and put together a good chunk of the X-Carve.
Great idea with the shallow shelf Chris, it's the solution I need for my small work space. Thanks!
Thanks Tommy :)
Today, I built a table based on this video. Dimensions are different, but just like you said... it's better for me. I ended up needing one sheet of plywood and only had about 1 2/3 sq. ft. of scrap. Great video! Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice :)
Great Video man. I love the feel of your videos. Amazing ending!
Love the second shelf! I know exactly how you feel when finding a place to set your tools.
so far its been working out nicely
Excellent video as always. I think you'll like having the little "storage" spot for the tools you're using. I have something similar and the hardest part was just developing the new habit or routine of keeping things in there. I love being able to go right to the saw though and not have to move a bunch of stuff.
man, you are gooood....down here in Brazil we dont use that much wood but I just like to watch videos like that...thanks one again
Thanks Rafael :)
Good video Chris. Just what I needed. Thanks.
Thanks for the build bro!!! I kinda wish I had done one of these instead of my torsion box and cabinet I did. Your point for the lower shallow shelf is right on and could really use this option lol. Great video and keep it up 👍🏿
A great bench for the intended purpose. Two thumbs up up!
Some really good design choices here Chris! I like it a lot, I've been thinking about replacing my mobile assembly table for something like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
:)
Nice point of view mate, like the way you approach it it all 👍👍👍
understanding one's need in the shop will make one a better woodworker. thanks for sharing
Fantastic as always! Much appreciated.
Great video! I'll be adapting it a bit, but using a bit of your design. Thanks again. Good + safe crafting to you, sir.
Lovely build and lovely video, as usual :)
I love it. Very good narration man. And I kind of happen to think I'm the World's Second Best Dad, but still searching for the mug.
I'm sure it's out there
You are one of my favorite UA-cam woodworkers, simply because you wear a Cubs hat in every video.
Great video and I enjoyed it. Simple plan and you spoke from the heart.
simple and very perfect.. like it,. inspiration for me,.
I've always liked Spagnolo's outfeed table and I could most definitely use one. I really like the shallow shelf because I find myself in the same situation with stuff on my work surface. Great build man!
Yeah, so far it's working out nicely.
Man! I teared up at work! Another great video!
I believe Mark's table was inspired by Norm Abrams. I watched the new yankee workshop a lot when i was younger, and was then inspired to start woodworking by Mark and other youtube woodworkers (one day I woke up and said, why am I watching; I can do that. Bought a lathe and started). I'm sure Norm took a lot from those before him, but it's good to understand the lineage. Your videos are great. Keep it up.
Somebody else pointed this out....so I'm guessing it's true :)
stonehill865 You're right. I'm pretty sure I've seen Jay Bates build one similar, also referencing Norm. I'm sure I've seen April Wilkinson in a build video with another referencing Jay/Norm too. I've built a tiny one for my hollow chisel morticer. My video would be really boring though; Chris's philosophical approach make his vids so much more... I hear there's a car wash video next; or was that hair wash... looking forward to that :) ;)
Great video. The best part comes close to the end.
Your vidioes allways leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling :)
This is the 3rd or 4th time I have watched this video. I am in the middle of rebuilding my workbench, and for the top I think this is going to work great for me.
Thanks for the great videos and the inspiration to get working again.
I just designed a work bench in CAD to hold my new portable table saw.
I think I just about designed the same thing as you did here, except with a cutout for the table saw to sit flush with the surface.
Great video!
Nice
cool video, well executed
Love your stories man
Man, lovely bench! Super inspired! New sub!
Yeeees! Well made, well filmed, and well said.
Beautifully crafted video and the workbench is pretty fab too!
*subscribed*
Better for you is better. Is it weird that your videos with you talking are as soothing as
ISHITANI FURNITURE's videos with NO talking?
Thanks! Just a different kind of soothing :)
I enjoyed your end closing - eloquently done. 👌 And I do like your very practical work bench. Thanks for the video. 😀
Thanks Beatrice :)
Great job!
I like it. I just finished an out-feed table as well, and have found that the shallow shelf is a most probable add-on for all the reasons you stated. It's likely to start next weekend.
On a secondary note, I really enjoy the audio for your videos. Its pace, background music, volume, and tone have a great pace and are very enjoyable to watch. It's a relaxed pace without being slow, and that takes style. Nice job!
Hey Spencer...really appreciate the kind words :)
Hey I have a shirt just like that. You make some of my absolute favorite videos. Thank you again brother.
Hey Scoop....appreciate it. Still lovin' the name :)
Good job.
Really cool!
Well done, buddy. Love the message too ✌
Great video and protect! Nice work!
Love watching your videos. Your tone of voice is quite relaxing.
I do think you may need to sharpen your track saw blade though. Lots of burn marks on that plywood.
I did exactly the same height thing with my outfeed table. Though I raised my table saw instead, since I use an old IKEA dinning table as an outfeed table.
I love your videos dude.
You made what you need, good for you
Great design and life's lesson.
Thank you. That helps.
nice work again have been watching all your videos, you do make a very good video with a balance of technical and reflection..
Nicely done man, also great video production, God bless you my friend.
Thanks :)
Great video Chris. Good way to end it.
It's nice video. Thanks for share Chris
