    I bought the same saw 3 weeks ago and I’ve watched a dozen videos on building a table. Amazing how many guys build a table using complex tools. No offense to them but it’s a chicken and egg thing. Videos using a complete shop of cool machines is worthless to most of us knuckleheads. Your table is simple but sturdy and has great utility. I have all the tools you used in your video.
    I love this table. I’m heading out to get material now. Thank you for sharing.

      Chicken and egg is right! If there's one thing I'm learning in this hobby, it's that each shop project usually needs 2 more to finish it.

      I'm not a carpenter, but as an electrician I learned you can improvise with many other tools. I think they just use what you call advanced tools to look more professional and do the job faster. You could probably build the table with a hand saw and a hammer, it would just take you forever. 😂

    I loved the simple design. I made my first mobile bench using your video. I made mine without the built in table saw as mine is already on a mobile construction site stand, but it is the same height as the bench top so I can use it next to the bench as an extension. I made one minor design change. I cut a 2x4 in half and put it around the edge of the bench along with the 2x4 frame. This makes it easier to use clamps around the edges and also allowed me to screw down the top from the underside. Thanks again for your video.

      so a 2x2 inch piece all around the bench? Flush with the top? Sounds like a plan. I'm going to have a go at making this bench. Which table saw have you got? Cheers 🤓

    Great idea on the 2 2x4 overlapping to be a 4x4 strong support. Reduce a lot of cuts and reduce the waste.
    The car jack is also a genius use.

    Just amazing I like the simplicity I’ve never seen anybody install drawer slides that way. I’ve also not seen anybody adjust the table height using a jack. I’m on my way to Home Depot to get some 2x4’s! i’m thinking of putting my chopsaw at the opposite end from the tablesaw, I’m going to put it down low so when i’m not using it it’s going to be level with the outfeed table.

    Wow! With basic tools and fasteners, you've shown how to create a functional workbench on which to build a whole range of more sophisticated projects. Lots of videos on UA-cam use fancy joinery and expensive tools; now those of us with smaller budgets and less woodworking experience can join in the fun too! Guess I no longer have any excuse for not having my own workbench.... Thanks.

    Thankyou for this benchtop design. I have been watching this video for months and i finally got around to doing it. Thankyou also do mark denson for plans which i printed out. Unfortunately i still have more work to do as the table saw i have on order has been delayed due to recent events so i have not got the saw shelf put in yet. Anyone considering building a mobile bench even without the saw should follow similar plans. To do the top i could only get 17mm plywood sheets. I screwed the first sheet down on the top. I then filled the underside with a grid of screws. I covered the top in glue then place a second sheet of 17mm plywood down. I used weights and clamps on top then screwed from underneith. This avoided having screws on top. Someone in the comments mentioned that a table top overhang would be good for clamping. After building the bench and starting a new project i think this wouldd be a good consideration. You can always work something else out though. I am now looking to get a finishing product for the top to make it smooth and glue resistant. Could somebody help me out. Point me at some bunnings products. By the way i am new to all this woodworking and building this bench has helped my confidence. Cheers.

      Agree. Inspirational.

I'll be adjusting mine to accommodate a more affordable table/mitre combi saw on an adjustable shelf. Music was lovely too.

    I think the beauty of this is that you can build one yourself based on where it will be stored when not being used. I would get a notepad and start with the compact table saw. How much space do you want on the sides ? What is the max rip depth ? Another thing to consider is building a movable support for leading into the saw cut (maybe 12" or so). At the other end maybe do a cutout for a compact router table (I use mine all of the time). then figure how much run out space you would desire off of the table saw. The drawers are nice but a place to put a small vacuum would be awesome to catch the dust from the table saw. Mount a power strip in the side for assembly tools after it is all built and you are set. I think I am on my way to the lumberyard to get some supplies...

    Excellent.. really good job, I’ve been looking at lots of these workbench videos recently, this one is really straightforward and effective. Ticks all the boxes.. now to find the wood, here in France...

    Thank you for this video. I just bought a saw like this one, and have minimal tools. I am excited to see a way to build my table for my saw with the tools I have. Thank you sir, liked and subscribed!
