- In this video, I will be making a multipurpose workbench from 2 by 4 and plywood.
All my woodworking plans gumroad.com/diycreators
Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. I keep two toolboxes underneath for my most used tools. Being able to hang drills and measuring tapes on the side is very handy. My favorite part is being able to store tools I want in the shop, but do not want to build a workbench for. The T-Track on the side works great for holding materials. This workbench is made from 3/4in plywood and 2by4. Get the plans here gum.co/gfKwe

Building this workbench has really changed the work I work in my shop. It's simple, but really makes an impact. I have plans if you would like to build to the spec I have. gumroad.com/diycreators Thanks for tuning in!
For a future project, could you build a collapsable work bench? I don't have a ton of space in my garage but still need a good sized workbench
Buen proyecto amigo
Great ideas and, true to form, some unique ideas. The only thing I'd add is an electrical station to plug in tools (you may have done this).
Brilliant workbench and thanks for sharing
Ian, Birmingham, UK
I appreciated your time and effort into this and I like all the little things you did to make this practical!! Awesome video
Great build ...loved that jump...lol , maybe a centre support cause it flexed abit. ..not that you'll probably need it...but yeah, thanks for educating me...
Visual for "where I'm at" is very helpful. Haven't seen that very often in videos.
Seriously though, it's extremely helpful. I wish more creators had that in their videos
Yeah that's a great idea.
+1
Game changer. Hell, even if you had a list in the corner that you checked off each step in a procedure as you did it, that would be amazing. Hmmm.
@@BigBlack81 no thanks. That would ruin the video.
That was a stroke of genius clamping your speed square to the top frame to line your legs up. Brilliant 👍👍
I said the same thing as I watched. "genius"
Thought the same thing!
I would never have thought of that ! Brilliant !
Same here! I made a note of that for all my future projects. The garage floor slope has frustrated me to no end.
My favorite part of video
Finally a sturdy and easy DIY bench that DOESNT require a planer. Too many of these "Beginner" diy workbenches the first step is planing all your 2x4's to have perfect edges. You did a great job and made a great bench for those of us who only have a circular saw and drills.
I usually skip the entire video if it says DIY and uses any advanced tools like Table saw, planer, router etc. Those are not for me.
@@elfyjohnson261 Yeah lots of diy videos for a "simple" workbench requires some tools that not everyone has
Thank you a million times for this. I built mine in 12hours this passed weekend for under app bucks. No tool cubby or tracks but I will be adding a moxen vice from a kit. So I got the man design from here and did it myself. Not easy being disabled but I am proud of this bench. Thanks for the guidance man.
Hows it coming along?
past weekend
"I'll have 7 of the 8 boards screwed when only 4 was required" hahaha yeah same man. That where I'm at is a really sweet addition to your videos!
Isn't that normal? That's every project I do. 😆
The realest shit ive ever heard
It means you were probably in the "Talented & Gifted" program in grade school.
Love DIY videos that get to it and show great detail without having to watch every screw get drilled in. Nice work. I might even make this thing.
Glen, I love this work bench especially the tool holder shelf, the angle iron tool holder and the t-tracks on the legs. I'm building a bench this week and next and I plan to include two tool holder shelves and t-track on one leg. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Well, my complements on being fit enough to make the “jump”.
Your production values on the video are excellent. This one is a must view for anyone building a workbench.
Thanks Glen.
Fantastic job as always, extra bonus the "Gymnastics jump"
Semper Fi
This bench is right at my skill level to make. I love that jig you used to drill the angled holes for your joints. That bench looks quite strong, & doesn't appear to "jiggle/wobble" around when leaning into work with some stout elbow grease. Thanks for sharing this creation!
Wow! Really appreciate how you can pack so many clear intelligent and common sense design and construction suggestions, tips and design elements into your short well designed videos. Thanks much.
Just the right amount of detail. Getting ready to build a new one (moved) and looking for ideas. Some great ideas and build technics, thanks!
I appreciate the small tips and tricks while you go through the process. Good stuff man
You rock! Love the “where I’m at” graphic.
Another great video. I enjoyed the "where I'm at" visual.
I've been watching a lot of your videos and just soaking up everything I can. My projects have been getting much better and a lot faster than I thought they would, thank you DIY Creator :D
This workbench is the truth. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to share examples of this and other ideas you inspired. Keep doing what you’re doing Homie.
I really like the extra wood for the casters, that was a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration and I really like how everything turned out
love it! the speed square for installing the legs was really clever!
Really love how you describe the pitfalls and show little tips with humility. The graphics in the top right are an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thought you should know, I watched several videos to determine what my workbench will be like and yours is the closest to what I built. Watching it over again and having it in use for a couple weeks I realize how important 'accessories' are and will begin that this weekend. Very much appreciated and I love watching your videos.
Hands down one of the best how to videos. The visual for where you are in the project is very useful. The ideas you come up with are very insightful for a beginner like myself. 👍
Sir, I have throughly enjoyed every single video you have posted. Your creativity and attention to detail are second to none. You inspire me to get back into woodworking. Perhaps soon. This work bench will def be on my list. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!
Dude you're an excellent teacher! Love your videos. You definitely think outside the box
Patriot DIY also added T-Track to the top of his table build. I think I will it on the end and top! Thanks for the video!
Love the progress of the project in the upper right. "Where I'm at" is a great way to understand what you're doing and where you are in the project. Love it.
There are always loads of things I love about your videos one of which is that everything you use and everything you make is sparkly clean: not sure our kitchen is as clean as your shop!!! In this video I absolutely love the end vice. It’s a great modern twist on a Moxon vise and a really clever idea. Cheers for sharing more great tips. 👍🏻
First time watching your stuff; as soon as I saw the "where I'm at" model in the top right, it was sub at first sight.
Same
I could not have found this video at a better time! I am just now getting to where I can make a mobile workbench and this is the perfect example for my application. Thank you so much for your detailed and on topic video!
Keep the good work going!
I've been preparing to build my own first workbench, watching videos and collecting ideas etc. If I'm able to do half as good a job as you, I'll be very proud of myself! Great job!
This is my favorite workbench build video to date. Lots of innovative ideas I never thought of. Great job!
Not only was this an educational video, it was fun to watch. I’m getting ready to build a new workbench so I’ve been watching lots of videos for ideas. At this point I am going to use your video and plans for this new workbench. You’re an awesome teacher. You’re very creative. And it’s obvious you know what you’re doing. I’ll be back to watch more of your videos in the future. Thanks a lot.
This was a great, concise and well explained DIY! The design of the bench was straight forward and easy to both understand and build and you gave great tips and options for making changes to the design to suit other's tastes, skills and work habits. When the "Where I'm At" graphic first popped up I kind of chuckled, but even on a build this quick and easy it really made understanding what was happening better. Great job!
Great video! I especially like the idea at around 3:50, where you used the speed square as a level surface to mount the legs. That's a fantastic idea!! I just bought a bunch of new woodworking tools, and now I'm in need of a decent workbench. This one fits the bill quite nicely!! Thanks!!
Purchased the plans for this and built it last weekend. Very easy to follow and it is a solid bench. Thank you, DIY Creators! Look forward to getting more projects from you.
I’ve had problems with leveling and adding castors from putting in too many screws. I love this video because you answer many of the questions that I have. Great video!
14:05-I was like “Whoa!!!”
Mad ups, my man!
Nice work! Love how simple, clean, and affordable this bench is. Video is well done too!
Really nice build. I love how inexpensive this one could end up being, but it would be super simple to make changes like if you wanted a solid wood top or some drawers. And your makeshift moxon vice is awesome!
That’s is a cracking build mate, the moxon vice is a really good idea.
I'M VERY IMPRESSED with you sir. I was in awww at watching you work. It's nice to watch professional woodworkers do great work and you are really good at what you do. Cheers!
This is by far the most thoughtful instructional video I've seen on building a work bench! From the "Where I'm At" window, to filing down the corners of the aluminum track, to reinforcing the end grain on the legs for the casters... you can absolutely tell this guy KNOWS his craft. This was super helpful and I can't wait to adapt this to my garage!
Right on time. Time to listen to your video while falling asleep in Australia. Keep up the sick work dude.
Jeremy Maclou Just in time for this Aussie to wake up to listen to while waking up Upovah 🤫😉
Love the “Where I’m at” icon. That is a great idea and had me subscribing in the first minute or two.
Hi I'm 13 and I watch a lot of videos of builders, engineers, and scientists on UA-cam it is refreshing to see a black engineer of my own rase on UA-cam
I've watched a dozen or more of these and your design is by far the best. Thanks so much! Cheers mate 🙂
Excellent build, got ya a new subscriber!
Enjoy, some of the best vids out there...
Im glad you subscribed, my privellege is killing me, he is so smart and we are so stupid, it's because of our privellege, we need to send him money
Hey bud fancy seeing you here lol
"CAREFULLY throw things on it." ...love that part!
Man, I love everything about it, this is how a UA-cam channel should be, so enjoyable and well put together
Great design. Being able to clamp down something while you work on it makes a job so much easier. Those casters are icing on the cake!
OMG, you must have heard my hubby complaining about how much he needs a workbench 😄 This is perfect! The T-tracks are an awesome idea! And when you were talking about what colour to paint it, I instantly said black top, white legs so I was close 😂
POV: By now you've watched around 50 videos of how to build a work bench, yet you're still sitting here and wondering how the hell you're gonna do it owning only a drill and a hand saw + 10 dollars on your bank account.
Absolutely perfect pattern for lots of things I need to make: planters in front and rear garden using treated timber, workbench in large garden shed, kitchen island in house. Thanks from London, United Kingdom
There's a kind of creative flow from this guy here. Just loving it. Thanks for sharing
The "where I'm at" is so cool. I didn't realize how helpful it is until I saw it in this video
This was a great walkthrough. Would be nice if you went through tradeoffs and different options you considered before doing the build.
Love it! Simple to build and with wheels - really liked the CAD drawing as you went along
I love your work you’re so creative you encouraging me to make things of November made before. ☺️
This was fantastic. I thought the "where I'm at" helped understand the components you were building, I thought the explanations were great and the hints along the way. I would love to have the space for a workbench like yours.
I’m a registered architect, builder and regular on many DYI craft channels. This is the first time I’ve EVER commented, liked, subscribed, ring the bell and like a video (for whatever that’s worth). But this video was so well put together I just had to do it. I can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos! Thanks for going through the trouble of creating such a detailed video.
I just found your channel today. This is some quality content, Sir! 😁 I look forward to seeing what you produce next. Also, that quick tool storage section you created would've been super useful for some of the projects I've worked on in the past. Awesome idea! 👍
Excellent instructional video. I love the way you use modern clamps, jigs, and cordless tools to achieve old school results.
Love seeing the T track part, I really didn't know what or how people used them or determined where to place them - this really works and replaces a big bulky vise.
Man! That "where I'm at" icon is brilliant! Great job on the bench.
yeah, that is something that I don't see on other channels. It's great.
I really like the "where I'm at" graphic.
Thanks for the awesome build! I got the plans and made mine this past weekend. I haven't got to the shelf or rails yet but for now it's working well. Thanks again!
Awesome workbench! I downloaded your plans and built one of these for my shop, I could not be happier with it. Your plans are very clear, organized and well thought out. I just downloaded the DIY Budget Desk plans. Thanks Glen
“WHERE IM AT” is awesome!! Thanks
Really like this. My question is at the end how many takes did it take to jump on it perfectly lol. Love your videos
Love the “where I’m at” key in the video! That’s a brilliant idea to keep your viewers filling what you are working on!!
Back in my day junior high we had wood, metal and ceramic shops .. I am so sorry I did not spend the time then that I should have in the wood shop.. after watching you put together your projects is pure inspiration!!
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Your channel is an inspiration for me to create a channel with similar contents. I hope that you look at it and give me your comments. Keep up the good work. Stay blessed and stay safe!
"wood working is very useful", "for what?", "creating work benches of course."
But you don't need a workbench if you're not going to do woodworking. Right?
@@anselmoffrisia2930 workbenches all the way down
I like to think of it as the “creation station”.
The tricky bit is making your first workbench. Gotta borrow one from your bro or some such so you have somewhere to make yours.
Of course 😄
I love the thought of using a speed square and clamps to true up the legs. Never saw that before brilliant idea. I will be using this
It's on my list, I'll be making my 1st serious workbench. I'm currently using a worx pegasus and a 3x4 table left behind when I moved in 27 years ago lol. I'll watch this again. It fits my criteria for my bench simple, strong with the ability to add accessories or holes or a track system.
I would have made one change: retractable casters
Didnt see any sharks with lasers either...
Best, easiest designed, most thought out, useful workbench design I've come across. I have never built an official workbench because I have never thought one was useful enough. Today you've changed my mind thanks!
Man I love your videos. They’re easy to follow along with and to the point. None of this extra nonsense and straight information. I think I watched everything you got. I appreciate it.
This is the exact build i had in mind when i started building mine.....like a year and a half ago.......and still just have the top done, and the legs built. This will help a lot. Thanks!
This was such a great video guide for me. After doing this build the first time, I now have confidence I can build it again. Many thanks on breaking down all the steps. One thing I did learn is that depending on the width of my hand held drill, I may want to hold off on installing the middle 2x4's so that I have enough elbow / drill room to drill in the legs and side brackets.
Glen, you’re awesome! My father is a disabled Veteran and I didn’t get a chance to do these kinds of projects with him. Watching your channel gave me the confidence to improve that skill set and make him proud. I can’t say thank you enough. 🤘🏻
This is a nice design, the 90 brackets for the top is a great idea 👌🏼
I built my bench this past weekend using this design without the shelf or the t track but I still love it. My old stationary bench with a miter saw on it just wasn't cutting it. Not enough space but this opens everything up in my workshop! Thanks for the awesome video!
Your work bench is perfect for beginners like me ! I have watched several videos on work bench building and wow ! Some are way to complicated and others way to cheap made! Yours hits right in the middle and is perfect for me! Thank You very much!
I built this for my shop and absolutely love it. I left the tool tracks off but otherwise followed it to the letter. It's a great sturdy bench and I can't imagine being without it. Thank you!
Dude, I pulled this one off this past week. Huge game changer. Thank you for the video! Very well made and easy to follow.
Love the content, and this project was just what I'm looking for. As others have said, the editing is really helpful to follow along. Thank you for the videos.
Another gem of a video from Glen!
So many great ideas in there - thank you.
I've been doing woodworking for over 10yrs you just inspired me to get back in to it thank you 😊
I learn so much from you. I have a lot of respect for your woodworking competence. Thank you and PLEASE keep it up.
You're like the Bob Ross of woodworking! A little touch here, and extra piece there and voila. Looks fantastic. Was searching for a video in order to make a small island with casters-this came up and was worth the watch, thanks.
Thank you for this video! I built my shop table this past weekend and love it!
You have some great skills. Probably the best looking work table I’ve ever seen.
Just made this. Thanks for the plans. Looks great in my space and will be exactly what I need. Keep up the great work!
THANK YOU!! Wonderful video. I have been desperate for a workbench and am fairly new to builds. I appreciate how clear your instructions are. My back is sure to thank you!!
I was looking for work bench ideas and ran across this. Can’t believe the dude is just hopping up and crawling on everything to put it together, definitely my style and I’ll be snagging some of these project ideas.
This workbench is a great concept! I’m brand new to woodworking, I have a tiny garage & a dedicated workbench space is tough. I like the castors to be able to roll it out on the driveway & the tool storage bin is cool to stash tools used in a project..if you’re like me, I’m always looking for my jigsaw, my pencil, my tape measure, etc. lol.
Thanks for the plans I can’t wait to build it!
Excellent build. Excellent video. The "where I'm at" feature is outstanding and of course the box jump at 14:04 made the difference!
Wow, I love how simple it is but so functional is is too. Thank you for sharing this!
There are so many things I love about this video. Scripted, No blabbing on and on, well organized, diagram shows where you are, great ideas and tricks, tasteful non-destracting music. All this = subscribed!
