thank you so much. This video was perfect. a product like this, your video is exactly what I want to watch. Unboxing and assembly; so that I can see what I'm in for and get an better idea of the quality. great job thanks again👍-Lisa
Add MDF to the inside of the underneath of the bench top. You can also add MDF to the bottom shelf as well as add back and side panels out of 3/4 ply or MDF. This will add weight and stabilize the bench.
Thanks for a good vid. Helped during install. Of note: I bought two of these within two weeks of each other, and it would appear that there is a new generation. The base board of the second one is far thicker, the instructions are more detailed, and the assembly was far easier as a result.
For the price and the casual wood worker you cant go wrong. Nothing like building your own bench. Im no pro but love woodworking. Been in my shop all day. Im gonna give ya a sub. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making this video. I bought the same workbench from Harbor Freight, but have not built it yet. This video is a perfect guide to help me anticipate the problem areas during my build.
This is a good video. I wish I had watched it first, but like all the other one's I've suffered through, you glossed over the #1 complaint in consumer reviews: The drawers. If you had spent a few extra minutes on the drawers, I'm positive you'd be a youtube star! Appreciate your honesty about planing with it. I bought this because I couldn't plane on my old workmate, so maybe I'll be storing cinderblocks in the base. I'm going to sand, then poly before assembly, because it really does look nice. It just takes a little patience and finesse to get things right. The bench you need to build the bench you want!
Good video, good audio, informative and to the point. Thanks for speeding up the boring parts. Liked and Subscribed. Here's some random thoughts after I assembled My bench. I also had problem with the bottom shelf. It was a tight fit (good) but it was warped (bad). I used a rubber mallet and clamps and got it together. I waited to install the drawer pulls until the last step so I was able to assemble the drawers on their face. I think it was easier. The labels for the drawer slides were BACKWARDS. I only assembled one drawer before I figured it out. I'm also happy I didn't glue the drawers until I figured it out. As for the Dog Holes, I'm not so sure I will use them. When I tossed the screws for assembling the drawers on the top of the bench, some of them made an escape down the holes. I think I will cut and sand some 3/4" dowel plugs to plug most of the dog holes until I need the dogs, then I will pop out the plugs. Future Improvements: I'm going to add four Folding casters to the bottom because my shop is small and I need to move the bench constantly. Also I think I might glue some 2 x 4's underneath the top to stiffen it up. Thanks, Alex, for the video.
If ur gonna keep it in one spot for good then I'd get those L shape brackets and some blue concrete hex bolts and bolt it down and also replace their shelf. I would get a sheet of MDF cut into size and glue it together to make it 1.50" thick then you'll have like 80-100extra pounds that's what I do for my workbench top with a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on top makes for a very flat and heavy workbench top that's how I know it weighs like 80-100 lbs
I put a solid core door on top of the bottom shelf and drove 3 screws in the ends on each side. I also have a similar bench that I put a full solid core door on top to give it lots of weight and a greater surface area. On one corner I mounted a vice.
Nice. I just put this table together about an hour ago. Took me about two hours and my wife to help me interpret the instructions. Everything aligned fairly well. Can't complain. The instructions don't really match what you need to do so be prepared to drill pilot holes and things like that. Things go smoothly after the first drawer.
I'm slowly working through the assembly, doing it around my three day a week barbell workout sessions in the garage. In attaching the top to the legs, I tried to save time and not drill pilot holes and just drive the screws in. Well it's sorta holding, but the screwheads are sticking up so I'll back them out and do pilot holes. Perhaps through feedback, HF's instructions have gotten a LITTLE better through the years they've been selling this; like telling you to drill pilot holes, see where the "front" stickers are, etc...
I love these benches, for the money they are a great value. If you have to drive a ways to get to your HB...I would recommend opening the box at the store and verifying that ALL hardware/pieces are present. I had to go back to HB because some of the small parts were missing. HB staff is always friendly and willing to help you out...they cannibalized another unit to make sure I had all of the pieces I was missing. Checking the box contents before you leave the store will save you a trip back to get the missing parts. This is not uncommon for heavy items like this, boxes often get beat up in transit from the manufacturer, and sometimes "leak out". Sometimes they don't get put in at the factory, just be safe and check the parts list before you leave, and you will be very happy with this bench! I use it primary as a "jewelers desk", if you work with small parts, make sure you put the clamp dogs into the holes in the bench, otherwise you can drop parts through the surface into the work bench...the parts fall into the drawers, so not too big a deal, but a pain if you drop things through regularly. Lastly, it is heavy...from being of good parts...if you need to put it together in the basement or upstairs, get help carry it or take the pieces out of the box and make multiple trips. I WILL buy more of these, I think it would make a great aquarium/reptile cage stand, with the drawers and shelf for storing pet supplies.
After 4 years of plywood on cheap saw horses, I'm looking for an upgrade. They're having a sale this weekend, so I think I'm going to go for this one until I can get around to designing and building one.
Good video. I got one about a week ago but haven't built it yet due to other higher priority projects. I'll be reinforcing the shelf so that it can hold some heavier items. Might also be adding peg board or French Cleating to the back and sides for hanging some tools and such. That will both strengthen the bench and make it heavier. The bench (back or side) can be put up against a wall for support when, for an example, planning. I might get the bench heavy enough that I'll be adding lifting casters to the legs.
To add weight without changing thr profile: Screw 3/4" MDF layers to the undersides of the bench-top and shelf. This will almost double the weight. I did it to a bench that i made from 2x4's with grest success. You could also replace the long braces with 6" wide hardwood which will increase stability.
If you don't want saw dust falling through the dog pin holes into your drawers simply heat up some wine bottle corks (the rubber ones) and push them all the way through the holes then peel away the excess rubber. Then repress them back into the holes for a prefect flush set with the table top. (It also is a better dog pin to hold your projects in place because they are rubber and will not mare your work) I used a jewelers torch to heat them. I'm sure a heat gun would work just as well.
Hello AWW The video maybe a year old now. But because of its available, I was able to see what I've been researching. I have subscribed to the channel. You asked how to make the table heavier. I think, I would start with the table top. I'm thinking it has to flex when you press on it? With bigger and thicker top, you fix two things, the flexing, if any and the weight issue. By the way have you done a update review of the table? Thank you again
Hey thank you for watching. I actually ended up bolting it to the floor and that fixed a lot of the issues. I still have the bench and love it. Obviously with bolting it to the floor, the problem is that I cannot move it. However, I’m ok with that situation and I haven’t needed to move for a while 😀 thank you for watching. Best of luck
I heard on another video that it takes two people to build. I see the troubles you had and how you overcame it. I prefer to do it myself and now I see how!
Two people would make it way easier! But let’s face it... how many of us have an extra person in the shop? 😂 I’m glad the video helped. Pura vida and sawdust!
Nice presentation. Looks like a good deal for the price. I don't know the quality of the vice, but vices alone can go for more than the cost of this bench pretty easily. What size are the dog holes?
I wonder if it'd make this a better table if you bonded some 3/4" plywood to the top? Then you could re-drill the dog holes to the right size and have a more rigid surface too. The vice wouldn't be flush to the surface anymore though.
Or do that with the MDF but glue it underneath the workbench top I could add some extra weight also along with doing the same thing to the Shelf hope that makes sense and helps
That is definitely smart! I actually have a few scraps of MDF I can use to make the lower shelf thicker. I might end up anchoring it to the floor like you said. Thank you so much 😊😊
Just got this, the bottom board that holds the middle part of the shelves broke instantly but I figured it would break anyways so I ran like 10 screws from the top into the part that holds the drawers
How about drilling holes in the bottom boards at the bottom that touch the garage floor. And do same to the garage floor with rotary hammer drill and put a dole in it to keep from sliding around? I’d put another cross member so the doles go through two holes before the floor.
Actually I haven’t shared the update but I did exactly that and bolt it to the floor so now it doesn’t move. Then only problem is that it doesn’t move 😂
Sweet! Thank you for watching. I’ve also seen, if budget allows it where you can buy two and put them “back to back” so you get two vices, 8 drawers and more width- but obviously that’s more space too 😅
We put this workbench together and had trouble with the drawers. Look closely at the diagram because sides of drawers must be put on correctly to slide in. Ours are slightly different than the video , but second video with same problem.
I bought one of these tables and found no instructions, and one drawer back was missing. I assembled the table upside down and had no problems with figuring out assembly. I used a pine 1 x 4 for drawers back I also added casters to be able to move around in shop.
Okay, I know I don't want to be bothered with this. The video was helpful. I'll be working in a tight space, and I'll have to put it together myself. So I'll pass, but the video helps me to determine that.
Nicely done but I'm have trouble with getting my drawers in and line up with rollers plastic pieces on both ends all ready broken fell off and some ball bearings were missing I think I got someone used shit
I keep around 75lbs worth of supplies on mine, the key is "distributing" the weight across the entire shelf and keeping heaviest items nearer the edges.
2 Things: The dog holes on the top funnel your sawdust straight into the drawers. Just something to know. Also - I put 2 of these together and save yourself some time: EVERY SINGLE PIECE has its place. You need to pay attention to whether each piece goes on the left, right front, back up or down. It's very easy to think two pieces are the same only to realize a hole is in the wrong place or at the wrong height because it goes on the other side. I think everyone who puts these together ends up reassembling a drawer or having a sticker showing that shouldn't be etc.
I'm thinking about replacing the top by laminating 3/4" birch plywood to a 3/4" MDF as an addition to the top provided in the kit. Instead of Dog Holes, I would use the Matchfit system provided by MicroJig, www.microjig.com/post/the-ultimate-workbench. That would add quite a bit of weight and the drawers would be storage for all the MatchFit accessories.
@@arayawoodworks Yeah, amount of packaging is loads...but since it probably ships from China, its better than the bruising it would get during transit. All of the boxes at my HB (in Maine) seem to have had a good trashing before arrival. I am lucky in that my wife uses the large pieces for a mulch cover in the garden (weed barrier), the cardboard box has limited amount of dye in it and breaks down quickly (we get a lot of rain each year).The Styrofoam is a drag, but again better than dinged/broken.
I got it as well. I upgraded the hardware and made a few addons to help get as much space usage out of the drawers. All together still under $200.
Nicely done. The joy of a cheap table is that it goes together quickly. Keep up the videos.
Thank you so much for watching!

Add a 3/4” ply under the table top for weight. Drill out the dog holes into the thicker too

That’s a good thought. I barely use those drawers because they suck
Do you think I should seal the ends of the MDF. Live in Houston Texas 25 miles for coast.
It certainly is up to you but I don’t think it’s necessary however you know your environment better

I just did it by myself. It sucks, but it’s possible
How thick are the legs. I want to add locking casters when I put mine together.
Not think enough for casters. You would have to add some support!
Can you mount a 6-8” vise on this table ? Is this sturdy enough to hold a vise ?
I don’t thing it’s strong enough for that. It will rack with almost any pressure. I had to bolt it to the floor
Nice presentation. Looks like a good deal for the price. I don't know the quality of the vice, but vices alone can go for more than the cost of this bench pretty easily. What size are the dog holes?
Yeah the vise is definitely weak and not
Smooth at all. But for the price! Lol
Dog holes are 3/4 round
I wonder if it'd make this a better table if you bonded some 3/4" plywood to the top? Then you could re-drill the dog holes to the right size and have a more rigid surface too.
The vice wouldn't be flush to the surface anymore though.
Great suggestion! After several years I realized I don’t even use that vice very much because it’s not very good.
Bolt it to a key area on floor for stability.
I did! It worked great but cannot be moved easily 😅

It’s about 8 1/4 from the floor to the bottom of the drawer

Can a finish be applied to this table? Or does it already have a clear coat?
Thank you for watching. The bench comes with a clear coat already
hahah I just got one of these benches and I had the exact same issue. identical.
Haha like I said in the video, they are not the best quality benches but for the price I don’t think we can complain much 😂
Take it apart and re-assemble using epoxy. Then fit a rectangular piece of plywood across the back of the back legs. that will stop it from racking.
Great suggestion. Thank you for watching!
The table is plenty strong. I reload on it.
@Mike Mancini Well I have my reloading press on it. I thing a vise would work as long as you don't go gorilla on it. Maybe reinforce it.
Harbor Freight doesn't seem to sell their Windsor Design workbench anymore. They have the more expensive Yukon version for $200.
Well this video didn’t age well then 😬🤪

Would you be able to move vise to the other end?
Unfortunately no, since the mounting holes and everything is set up to be assembled on the right
Did you add the center cross support to the bottom shelf? Mine didn’t come with that
I did not. It came with it 😬
Araya Woodworks strange. Mine also didn’t have hex bolts to attach the vice to the bench.... but like you said. What can you expect for $150. Lol
Haha indeed! But I would probably take it back if you are missing have of the bench 😂
What tools are need to make this bench?
Not many. A drill will make it go faster
Still holding up?
Still doing good. Great investment
