Its great to see a bloke like yourself doing a video with mistakes & all... like the rest of us...Ultra perfection for a workbench is not required it not furniture its a tool
Nice bench. 😊. I'm a little confused about a couple of things, though. You clearly don't mind the look of screw heads. I don't either.... especially on shop furniture. With that in mind, why take the time to use pocket screws on the upper and lower frames rather than just screw directly into the 4x4s, AND through the rails into the 2x4s that support the leg assemblies?
hey Bob! thanks for watching the video. Yes I do not mind screw holes if it's shop project. Honestly, when you are working on the bench you don't really notice the screw holes. If I was making a proper carpenter's bench I would hide the screw holes with plugs. It's dealer's choice. As for the pockets holes, I chose to use pocket holes because of the HD Pocket Hole jig. The HD screws have way more shear strength then standard construction screws. I get your point on using just standard butt joints and screws. I just went with stronger setup.
@@foxhallww311 that makes sense. Regardless of the HD screws, I think your bench would be plenty strong.... You definitely didn't half-@$$ anything. 🙂 I just found you. Keep it up, and I'll keep watching. Cheers
@@bobfre1 you are right, it would be plenty strong. obvisious people can build it the way they want or are comfortable with. thank you for following! it's much appreciated. I hope to rebuild the top soon. I have already beat it up pretty badly. Plus I want to make so design changes like adding dog holes and take out some of the matchfit groves out. I have found that I don't use all of them.
my wallet loves the dovetail grooves. so much cheaper. The grooves are not as smooth at T-tracks with the dovetail bolts. But the dovetail clamps work really well which I will be using mostly. The dovetail bolts are primarily for jigs i.e. tenoning jig. Which I plan on making a couple of them.
This was the most entertaining build I’ve seen ever! Great content. Great narrative. Humor. First time viewer, will check out all your other videos as time permits.
The stop block is from a company called Custom Fabrication in Illinois. I think there is a link above. I absolutely love the no fence setup. It gives you so much freedom.
I enjoyed your build of the workbench; I needed a good laugh. I don't know how old this video is but I figured it could sleep by itself. One thing I didn't learn from the video was your name. May I know with whom I am speaking? Have a great week. Frank Ingram
tell you what this guy does really good job getting good sponsors and having little over 4k subscribers, i see some wood workers on UA-cam with 200 to 500k subscribers and don't get good sponsorships like he does just saying , great build and thanks sharing with us
Thank you sir! Klingspor has been absolutely amazing to work with. I don’t not buy from anybody else unless it’s a time crunch emergency. Their staff is awesome and really cares about their customers.
My daughter bought my first set of microjig clamps for me to try. Can't imagine spending the money and hassle on t-tracks after using this system. They work fine routed into my OSB, MDF, or plywood work sufraces. Fast, easy, and totally versatile to install. I can create a clamp jig in minutes.
for sure! I love them. However, like a previous commenter suggested, I wish the clamps would rotate. I just built a toy box with a domino joiner. The clamps were awesome holding down the work pieces. Thank you for commented! cheers!
Regardless of what other commentary here bashing your preferred system, I don’t feel you were directing or misleading anyone on how they should implement their workshop systems. I’ve researched all of the workbench top clamping systems and feel this is the most versatile for those who can best benefit from it. The title of the video was meant to be catchy which works. I don’t get how decades of experience is relevant when the industry continues to evolve. Obviously you put hard work into your designs and offer the plans to those who would be interested and in building something similar if not the same. Everyone has their own gig and you have yours so keep on brother you’re doing a fine job as well as serving the woodworking community. Great video. I enjoyed the commentary and watching the little pooch too!! Bravo!!
Hey JP, did you resize the 4x4 lumber the way you did on the "half a$$ed" router table? Really like that method. The as-supplied lumber from the big box stores is crappy until you trim it up. Working on the router table and just picked up these plans along with the miter station plans.
Awesome thanks James. I did not realize the legs on this build. It’s something I did differently on the router table because I didn’t want it to me as bulky. Plus it gave me some extra room for the cabinets underneath.
17:40 - this is the best way, but you could also just stick your drawer slides in front of your stop block, too, in addition to the two side pieces to really make sure you're allowing for the proper offset.
yeah I saw somebody do that the other day. I thought it was a great idea. The drawer slide jig does set the drawer slides back automatically. But I couldn't use it on the bottom slides.
Thanks for doing this video. It's given me a few ideas for my next bench. It was also good that you turned your mistakes into a bit of a comedy act. I had a couple of good laughs.
Really enjoyed ur video on the Workbench build my friend. There's a tonne of weight in this bench. I'm betting it ain't moving whatsoever with the amount of wood used and with the contents in the drawers too. My 1st attempt at building a workbench was ok but it's really garbage tbf. I'm going to invest in some nice off cuts of hardwood and build a strong worktop surface about 3/42 thick. I have a local place that sells decent lengths of offcuts and I might try and laminate enough pieces to make the top I'd like. It'll have all sorts like a Bertie Bassetts pack of Allsorts.. Keep up the great work man and I really like the Camera mount too. Most ppl use a cheap stand which wobbles constantly causing bad camera work but this is a brilliant idea to have the camera mounted strongly to the bench. Plus the weight of ur bench will help it with movement I guess?
Actually the bench is not as heavy as you would think. I can shimmy it into place. But thank you for the kind words. And thank you for watch. I’m working on a router table now that uses the same design. Hopefully I can finish up that project this weekend. I’m installing an AC unit on Friday. So we will see how that goes.
Mate, when you get half way through the cut stop. Turn the board 20 degrees and the off cut is now supported by the bench .... continue the cut... 🤔😂🤣😎🇦🇺👌
@@foxhallww311 that didn’t make sense. I asked why you DIDN’T use the dovetail grooves on the side. I know it’s cheaper than t-track, but you used t-track instead of the dovetail grooves.
@@awlthatwoodcrafts8911 oh my bad.....I guess reading the whole comment is key to a proper response. Sorry I was doing 15 things at one time. The t-track on the side is for my camera arm mount. Which is the Woby Designs arm mount. It has a really heavy base to it. I thought at the time that the mount was too heavy for the dovetails. But sense then, I realized I was wrong. I am most likely going to add 2 dovetail tracks to the sides so I can mount things vertically.
Title suggestion: Measure once, at least or how not to plan a workbench😅 Great build though and glad I stayed to the end and could count 14 Great movie references!
I know it's been a year, but first time seeing this video. I like the overall build and strength of the table. The dovetail tracks still working out? Any binding or breakage? One suggestion for a future build, I would assemble all of the vertical legs first including all of the boards that attach directly to them, then attach the lengthwise boards to them. No squeezing in or fitting problems.
I built a bench with similar legs except that I used 2x4. One complete length and then a short piece where the lower horizontal cut would have been then a longer piece above it to match the full length piece. No notch necessary and cheaper wood faster.
Hi, JP. Great build and video (especially the reference to Jon Peters 😉❤️.) Love seeing your Lignum mallet at work. Barbara (KFW group) PS: I checked out the Amana countersink bit. My disappointment is that the drill bit is very short, so it’s not also a true pre-drill like my Snappy bits. I’d love to find a bit that combines a longer bit for pre-drilling holes with the Amana countersink technology. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Barbara, I think snappy is going to be your best bit if you want something longer. Dewalt and Milwaukee also make adjustable pre-drill bits too. Next time I talk to the Amana rep I will ask him about that.
I really like this work bench. I've not picked up the plans yet but wanted to ask what is the overall dimensions of it? I have a small shop and my current assembly table is 4x6. Also do you have a plans or a video on that camera pole holder jig thingy???? It looks really useful and I'd like to make one. Great detailed video really enjoyed it.
Hey 4321. How is it going buddy. The camera jig plans are by Ben at Woby Design. It is the number one best thing in my shop. www.woby.design/shop/the-woby-camera-jig-digital-files. I believe the workbench is 72 x 48. If I’m not mistaken.
@@foxhallww311 Thanks man on both fronts. I'll measure what I have out there but it was a quick down and dirty assembly table that I keep modifying but think it's time to scrap it and build something a little nicer now that lumber is coming down a bit. I may have to modify a bit though as a cabinet shop scrapped some MDF drawers so I have a tack of MDF drawers that are completely good to use and that will reduce cost. Again great video and thanks for the response!! Running through other videos right now... craft paper holder is playing as I type this!
@@4321Woodworking awesome! Thank you for watching. Hopefully I’m going to get into the shop soon. Lumber prices are keeping me out. I am about to start a new router table
You might have wanted to fix the torn out corner of the frame you laid your plywood on before flush trimming that fault onto your worktop twice @11:20. I'm quite astounded that someone would replace inlaid aluminium T-tracks with routed dovetails. With dust and humidity clogging those up, I'd guess you're not happy with that setup for very long.
Hi instead of practising karate when you are cutting panels because the saw jams. Use a quick clamp, you call it a "trigger clamp". Cut about 10" or so into the panel, clamp the end you've just cut with the clamp. It will patiently wait for you until you get to the end, giving you a free hand to hold the off cut while you put the saw down and move to release the clamp. Regards from the UK.
Es un bestia: Al cortar una placa en voladizo siempre se quebrará al final del corte, salvo que se haga una pausa y se ponga una prensa uniendo y sosteniendo levantado el inicio del corte... así sale todo perfecto.
Order of op on the halflap joints should be the other way arpund. 1. Make the crosscut on the table saw before 2. The ripcut on the bandsaw. By doing it in this order, you will avoid kickback on loose pieces of wood on the table saw. Work safer, not harder!
Abso-freaking-lutely, Ive come close a couple of times. I was taught to fear the table saw. So I take alot of percassions when using it. But if your table saw is tuned correctly, it makes it alot easier and more fun to use. Thanks for watching!
Why do spiders and other bugs love to hide and nest in cup drawer pulls? If I can’t see what is or is not in those cup pulls I’m not putting my fingers in there. Swapped all of my pulls for simple handle pulls.
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
T-track doesn't wear out over time, and I can drop in exactly where I want it instead of sliding in from the opening. Plus, each track slot is a single pass with a dado stack vs multiple passes with router.... I'll stick with T-track. But why the title if this is about building a whole cabinet.........
did you just say T-Tracks don't wear out over time? that's is incredibly inaccurate. Also you don't have to use 2 different router bits to make the matchfit groves. You can just use the dovetail bit. The relief bit makes it less stressful on the dovetail bit. The title implies that the matchfit dovetails are better than t-tracks and if you paid attention to the description you would know it's a build project.
@@foxhallww311 I've seen 20 year old T-track in perfect shape in a cabinet making shop, but I don't know the properties of that T-track - aluminum or steel, and if aluminum, which grade /temper of aluminum. If you're wearing out aluminum T-track in less than a decade, you're either buying cheap T-track that is soft and has not been tempered i.e. 6063 instead of 6063-T5, or overtightening every time which will wear out a dovetail grove significantly faster than it will wear through even soft aluminum. My 15 year old aluminum T-track has minor problems from where I was overtightening early on in its use. It's super cheap aluminum (thinner than most modern aluminum T-track) that came with a pre-made desktop router table that was about $110 15 years ago. Every time you use a dovetail clamp, you're putting upward pressure and compression on the wood fibers which will lead to material fatigue fairly quickly, and eventually material failure. NOT saying dovetail groves do not have a place. They're great for small jigs that see occasional use, but I'd never use them large scale as shown in the video.
with all that dust and no mask I would be surprised if you don't have any respiratory issues. I certainly do. Now I always wear a mask or use good dust collection.

Thanks buddy
Awesome Job JP!! That is an awesome workbench!
thank you sir
Nice
Thanks
I know it's been a year, but first time seeing this video.
I like the overall build and strength of the table. The dovetail tracks still working out? Any binding or breakage?
One suggestion for a future build, I would assemble all of the vertical legs first including all of the boards that attach directly to them, then attach the lengthwise boards to them. No squeezing in or fitting problems.
Yeah the dovetails are still going strong. They are incredible durable.
Great build. No wonder I can't buy any pine studs!!
my bad! the studs are back in stock now. I just checked :0)
Hey man what part of Alabama are you from I’m also from bama myself
I am in Alabaster
@@foxhallww311 no way I’m from helena that is so cool
ah right one. My brother lives in Riverwoods@@terrykimbrel5520
I built a bench with similar legs except that I used 2x4. One complete length and then a short piece where the lower horizontal cut would have been then a longer piece above it to match the full length piece. No notch necessary and cheaper wood faster.
Nice. I am actually editing a video now for a router table. I did mention that in the video
Hi, JP. Great build and video (especially the reference to Jon Peters 😉❤️.) Love seeing your Lignum mallet at work. Barbara (KFW group)
PS: I checked out the Amana countersink bit. My disappointment is that the drill bit is very short, so it’s not also a true pre-drill like my Snappy bits. I’d love to find a bit that combines a longer bit for pre-drilling holes with the Amana countersink technology. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Barbara, I think snappy is going to be your best bit if you want something longer. Dewalt and Milwaukee also make adjustable pre-drill bits too. Next time I talk to the Amana rep I will ask him about that.
My first time seeing one of your videos. Thanks. War Eagle! but is it my poor ears due to age or are you not a native southerner?
I am. Born and raised in Birmingham AL.
I really like this work bench. I've not picked up the plans yet but wanted to ask what is the overall dimensions of it? I have a small shop and my current assembly table is 4x6. Also do you have a plans or a video on that camera pole holder jig thingy???? It looks really useful and I'd like to make one. Great detailed video really enjoyed it.
Hey 4321. How is it going buddy. The camera jig plans are by Ben at Woby Design. It is the number one best thing in my shop. www.woby.design/shop/the-woby-camera-jig-digital-files. I believe the workbench is 72 x 48. If I’m not mistaken.
@@foxhallww311 Thanks man on both fronts. I'll measure what I have out there but it was a quick down and dirty assembly table that I keep modifying but think it's time to scrap it and build something a little nicer now that lumber is coming down a bit. I may have to modify a bit though as a cabinet shop scrapped some MDF drawers so I have a tack of MDF drawers that are completely good to use and that will reduce cost. Again great video and thanks for the response!! Running through other videos right now... craft paper holder is playing as I type this!
@@4321Woodworking awesome! Thank you for watching. Hopefully I’m going to get into the shop soon. Lumber prices are keeping me out. I am about to start a new router table
You might have wanted to fix the torn out corner of the frame you laid your plywood on before flush trimming that fault onto your worktop twice @11:20. I'm quite astounded that someone would replace inlaid aluminium T-tracks with routed dovetails. With dust and humidity clogging those up, I'd guess you're not happy with that setup for very long.
ummm no it's been a year and a half and the setup has been great. thanks for you negative comments. have a good day
Team chamfer! 💯 %
high-five!
"Actually I didn't measure the compressor at all." Alright, you Actually got me to laugh out loud! Thanks!
Boom!
It’s flat 😂😂… 👍🏼 good job.
Thanks

The chihuahua do be having that effect in people. Thank you!
there is always a place for "percussive persausion" in the workshop
I try to keep it light and humorous
Hi instead of practising karate when you are cutting panels because the saw jams. Use a quick clamp, you call it a "trigger clamp".
Cut about 10" or so into the panel, clamp the end you've just cut with the clamp.
It will patiently wait for you until you get to the end, giving you a free hand to hold the off cut while you put the saw down and move to release the clamp.
Regards from the UK.
yeah I know. It was bone head move on my part. But karate is super fun though!
I have them and they have their purpose but because they can't swivel they are very limited.
Yup. Got that right. I’m building a toy box using a domino joiner. It would amazing if the clamps rotated. @microjig step it up.
Do me a favor and reply to this comment when your plans area available. Thanks!
will do! I hope to have them out by Friday. I have a couple of more things to button up
Plans are now available my man
Es un bestia: Al cortar una placa en voladizo siempre se quebrará al final del corte, salvo que se haga una pausa y se ponga una prensa uniendo y sosteniendo levantado el inicio del corte... así sale todo perfecto.
absolutamente. Gracias por ver.

Did you say Beast Mode? GO HAWKS!🏈
I totally said beast mode sir!
I do not see any value for a flush top work surface since it never has a decent clamping edge. Why why Why make it flush
There is literally a whole clamping system cut into the top of the bench.
Loved the Python bit!
Thanks man! It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and it was fitting to pay it homage
Order of op on the halflap joints should be the other way arpund. 1. Make the crosscut on the table saw before 2. The ripcut on the bandsaw. By doing it in this order, you will avoid kickback on loose pieces of wood on the table saw. Work safer, not harder!
Huh? That’s the way I cut them.
Had to laugh when you said "... kickback, and that will ruin your day!" It sure does.
Abso-freaking-lutely, Ive come close a couple of times. I was taught to fear the table saw. So I take alot of percassions when using it. But if your table saw is tuned correctly, it makes it alot easier and more fun to use. Thanks for watching!
Why do spiders and other bugs love to hide and nest in cup drawer pulls? If I can’t see what is or is not in those cup pulls I’m not putting my fingers in there. Swapped all of my pulls for simple handle pulls.
Nah but have you ever had a spider crawl into your respirator because you put it on?? It scared me
New subscriber here; nice bench!
REAUXLL TIDE!
Thanks for watching. However LSU and Alabama in the same comment? I have my concerns. lol
@@foxhallww311 : Yes; moved from LA (GEAUX TIGERS!) to AL years ago.
I pull for the Tide except when they play LSU...! Still a Saban fan, too!
@@rl2109 still don’t know what to think about that. But we don’t have any room for argument for at least a couple of years
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
im sorry i am not following
You dont need a stop block for the cut. You’ll only get kick back if its a through cut.
elaborate?
pencil marks are great
Yes yes they are
T-track doesn't wear out over time, and I can drop in exactly where I want it instead of sliding in from the opening. Plus, each track slot is a single pass with a dado stack vs multiple passes with router.... I'll stick with T-track.
But why the title if this is about building a whole cabinet.........
did you just say T-Tracks don't wear out over time? that's is incredibly inaccurate. Also you don't have to use 2 different router bits to make the matchfit groves. You can just use the dovetail bit. The relief bit makes it less stressful on the dovetail bit. The title implies that the matchfit dovetails are better than t-tracks and if you paid attention to the description you would know it's a build project.
@@foxhallww311 I've seen 20 year old T-track in perfect shape in a cabinet making shop, but I don't know the properties of that T-track - aluminum or steel, and if aluminum, which grade /temper of aluminum.
If you're wearing out aluminum T-track in less than a decade, you're either buying cheap T-track that is soft and has not been tempered i.e. 6063 instead of 6063-T5, or overtightening every time which will wear out a dovetail grove significantly faster than it will wear through even soft aluminum. My 15 year old aluminum T-track has minor problems from where I was overtightening early on in its use. It's super cheap aluminum (thinner than most modern aluminum T-track) that came with a pre-made desktop router table that was about $110 15 years ago.
Every time you use a dovetail clamp, you're putting upward pressure and compression on the wood fibers which will lead to material fatigue fairly quickly, and eventually material failure.
NOT saying dovetail groves do not have a place. They're great for small jigs that see occasional use, but I'd never use them large scale as shown in the video.
Why the title ? It's called clickbait, my friend.
with all that dust and no mask I would be surprised if you don't have any respiratory issues. I certainly do. Now I always wear a mask or use good dust collection.
good for you! thanks for watching!
T slots /mitre slots in plywood. I don't see them lasting that long!!!
how so?
