MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further. - Навчання та стиль
Love the versatility of this build. Thank you so much.
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!
I really appreciated the pop ups that showed tools and measurements as you went along! Super helpful for this visual learner
You forgot the cable clamps on the knockout of the electrical box
I have the saw horses... They coating flaked pretty quick and they're rusty now.. Sand blast and powder coat coming up.😊
I'm with Stephen Greco with the props and the french cleat idea. looking good!
I like this build. Some good advice in comments, but the build itself is a great jumping off point. I’ll be using this with some tweaks for my needs. Thanks so much!
Cool build mike. One pointer please use a box connector for those cords. They ones for Romex and that extention cord. Cuz the metal box can nick the wires and be a fire hazard.
I swear man, your filming has gotten so crafty. I'm taking some real pointers from your videos!!
Replace the edge of the table with a French Cleat. If you have a table saw available. Great video.
True. It may slip. Safety first.
French Cleats will definitely be a good safety upgrade. They're easy enough to make with a circular saw as well.
Wow, you represent yourself and your sponsor professionally & enthusiastically. Your generosity through free downloadable designs is rarely seen. I'm going to take your enthusiasm and build this garage shelf. Thank you. Aaron
That hack for electrical outlet is worth the admission. And the admission is $Free.99. Took me a solid month to build the DYI Garage Storage / Workbench version 1; and now I can add the outlet and outfeed table extension. Awesome !!!
This is a well thought out and designed organizer and work bench. I appreciate that you continue to offer videos that guys with regular tools can completed. Most of the makers on UA-cam have shops and tools that we normal guys can never hope to have. $30,000 to $50,000 shops are not in the cards for most of us 'weekend warriors' out there. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely love the ability to expand when needed using the leaves with the saw horses. Great video!
I like the idea of the extra edge to use with a saw-horse for extra area for work bench space to work on projects.
Awesome build! Really appreciate the limited tool usage, too. Living in a small apartment in the city I have limited space and limited tools. So I'm always looking for some "low effort, low maintenance" projects to do. And this is definitely something to get inspiration from: I could very well imagine a build like this with smaller dimensions and without the electrics for a small balcony or so. That's the kind of content I subscribed to this channel for! :)
The simplicity of tools and materials is what makes this perfect, it is not complex, however what you get in return far exceeds the investment. A great use of the space that you have. Great series you are putting up. Plus nice touch the colour coding of the tool boxes.
I was excited to hear you were making a compact version of your previous workbench on the podcast. This turned out great! Will definitely need to takes notes as I will be re-working the bench in my basement at some point (the previous owner made a really good bench, but it's covered in mounds of...something and wall organization was a board with seemingly random nails).
THIS IS DOPE! The expansion table is an absolute game changer!
If the ends of the leafs slide apart during use I'd suggest some sort of locking mechanism to hold them together. I plan to build this and I have the cheaper plastic horses and I think I might have an issue with them not staying put when pressure is applied.
Para mim, o melhor projeto até agora! Congrats Mike!
Functional and looks so 🔥 too! You killed it!
Great work Mike, looks awesome.
Whenever I build something like this I use T-nuts and a threaded chair foot to create an adjustable base where the wood meets the floor. Functional, and (I've been told) they look awesome too, turns the 2x wood stock into actual functional furniture. Helps isolate the end grain from the concrete too, which over time is sub-optimal.
Could you share links to parts?
I did both😉
I promise I'll try! I's just perfect for my tools, sewing machine, storing fabrics and also a space for the computer (not all at once of course). Just awesome!
Thanks for the clean and efficient design. Will appreciate an update when you reinforce it to prevent racking and tipping.
Your series about building your work shop is truly great viewing. Thank you
The part about feeling empowered by a couple successful electrical projects is on point. I installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom and I feel like I'm a full blown electrician
Digging this build. This is exactly what I was looking for Dr.
"leafs" also know has "leaves" lol! love ya Mike! Love this project. So dope.
Def building this one, Mike!
This looks like a good weekend project, really looking forward to the plans being available.
Brilliant build. One of your best yet!!
You forgot CABLE CLAMPS on both electric boxes. Metal boxes can cut through wires causing shorts and FIRE!
Good to know! Thanks 🤙🏼
finally more Mike content
Incrível. Dá pra organizar muita coisa. 👏👏👏👏👏
Great idea. One suggestion. could be better if you did a french cleat to lock the leaves in on the workbench side. This way they don't slip forward. Nice build!
and if you have the French cleat across the entire front of the bench against the wall, you could attach small holders like for screws where the workbench leafs don't attach.
@@ocelliwoodworks7272 that’s what I’m saying
Cool!!!! Thank You!!!! Also Thank You All Who DId The Comments Great Advice!!!! Good Looking Out!!!! 👍😎👏🤘
Great build Mike & I like the fact that it's all modular and can be changed whenever you please! 👍😉
Great toolwall and bench extensions! Secure that wire in the electrical box. Fasten the whole thing to the wall. It's going to be such an asset in supporting your house remodel. Also, add it to the shed playlist!
Thanks for this another versatile and great functionality compact storage video. I did one the same concept as yours from your prev videos you showed here. Superb!! Keep at the great work!
I like this plan. Maybe add some spinners between the front & back legs at the floor level, also secure to wall.
LOVE that shop! Love the white and blue. 😍
Very versatile! I like the temporary expandability.
Make sure you secure it to the wall. Especially in CA where there’s earthquakes.
Loving it!!!! Thank you for another great upload!
Mike killing it as per usual! Love your stuff!
youre hype just puts a smile on my face! great stuff yeaaa
Real nice build and so versatile!
SUPER PRO, I love it, all the wiring layouts etc. Great job
Thanks, great build. I just moved into a new space and this will work brilliantly.
Awesome and extremely versatile work bench..!!!
This is an excellent video. Nice work Mike and thank you for the time and effort to share this.
Favorite video so far!!
Ah, the modularity! 🤩
Nice, love the extension leaves!
Nice clean design. The extensions are a brilliant add.
Your leaf idea is awesome! building something this weekend and I will be working that into the design with some type of French cleat and latch so I don't need to worry about it falling during a cut. thanks for the idea!!!
Been looking for months to find even just 1 plan I like for my new shop build... I think I found it!!! Thank YOU so very much! Now I'm gonna look at that garage storage video! 👍😉
YES! This is exactly what I was needing for my garage!
Perfect solution for my tiny garage. Thanks
With you i lern about diy proyects and english too becuse i am from México, thanks
Awesome project. Inspirational stuff.
My only suggestion would be the legs! They seemed a little unstable! I would reinforce them or maybe screw the whole bench to the back wall! Hate to see you weigh it all down and then fall on you!
Yeah I’m with Keith on this one.
same same. shelves are over built like crazy and then you have long skinny legs.
knee braces
Yep. Should just double them up to be 4x4
Word! I ended up screwing it to the wall, should’ve shown it 🤙🏼
This sounds just about right for me. I think I shall download those plans. Thanks Mike!
I was just designing a work station just like this can't wait to build it.
Great job! Love the build. Can't find the plans though....
been watching 4 a time now plan to do some of your projects watching you is a joy!!
When would the tour release?
Wow, wow impressive
Great job! Love the build!
I figured you were going to paint your peg board that same color haha
absolutely love this; just might try my hand at it
I’ve got a really small shop space. This could be a great solution.
I’d add a security latch to the lip end in case the boards wanna move around. And looking at the saw horses look bulky compared to the tabletops, maybe consider folding drop down legs built in to the table leafs. But I love the concept and versatility on it. Love all your modern builds hehe.
Hahahahaha the ending so hilarious.
It seems to easy! Amazing!
Love ❤ this!!
I like that expanding concept. Very cool. 🔥🇿🇦
Fantastic job bro 👍🏻
Nice workstation
Great design!!!!
This man is the modern Tim “the tool man” Taylor
the best video. I need a video like this,
Awesome build!!!!
I think I can adapt this into my garage
Excellent idea to make the leaves fit on top of saw horses. That looks like a great addition to my planned table :)
Good timing, I've just finished building a new workshop.
FINALLY!!! BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS, LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDS ❤️🥵🥵
This man is amazing, I wish I was this talented
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Great work!
I did my giant pegboard in French blue. Great minds think alike!
Great vid!!!! Definitely plan to build this for my garage
Very nice build mike

Thank you for your videos!!!!
Awesome organisation, nice
Nice build man!
Great job mike
