How to Build HALF a Workbench - Paulk Inspired - Part 1, The TOP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2020
- Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power tools for partnering on this build!
Today I’m building a Ron Paulk inspired DIY workbench top... yes, just the top for now. This will be the first step of a full workbench build, but with the ability to use the top, on saw horses, until I finalize my design for the lower portion of the bench.
The rigid nature of Ron Paulk’s torsion box design will make this great as a workbench, assembly table, outfeed table or just about whatever else you might need a workbench for!
In the video I will go over cutting the plywood, drilling /cutting out the access ports, assembling the frame, adding a grid of clamping holes, adding a final finish…. and my eventual plans for the lower half of this workbench ☺
Let me know if you have any questions! - Joe

Having built one of these benches, I agree! The saw horses took a lot of time and if you’re not stowing the bench all the time then not worth the time. Store bought saw horses save money and time. I do use the holes all the time though and parts falling through is not a problem. A plastic mat, board, or magnetic parts tray can solve that
I've admired the Paulk bench for a long time and thought it would be more work on a bench that I would probably never tap into its capabilities of. Watching you build this makes me think not only that I could utilize the bench but I wouldn't have to fear the complexity of the build. Good job!
I've watched Ron Paulk for years. However, I like your approach. I watched your video and thought, "Yeah I could do that."
Awesome! I fell in love with his bench years ago... sleek, sexy, functional, pure goodness😀👍
And I’m glad you enjoyed the video too! I like to show that you don’t have to be a fancy woodworker to get these types of things built😉
The bench top looks great! Adding the extra bracing and holes was a good idea. It lightens the top and supports it better. Thanks for sharing this.
I plan to build one of these too after watching several of Ron Paulk's videos. Nicely done!
Yes, his designs are just so awesome aren’t they! And you can really modify however fits your needs best. Functional and appealing to look at as well😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it👍
Hi. I built a similar bench but made mine only 600 mm wide and bolt 2 together to give a top 1200 mm x 2400 mm. This makes the top lighter to shift. I also built mine out of 12 mm ply with 20 mm x 20 mm strengthening strips along all intersections. This also reduces the weight. Have been using for about 4 years with no problems. Keep on building.
I can stand and jump on with not movement in top.
Do you have a drop box link you can post here so we can see what you are talking about? Please and thank you.
Thanks! Sounds like you got a great working and lightweight bench too😀👍
No drop box link but research early Paul bench for ideas.
@@Michael-wq8qu thanks man
Congrats on the sponsorship !
Thank you Ned! 😀🙏🙏
I really like the work bench and have a number of Ryobi tools as well. You are right about the great value, I have my eye on their finishing nail gun next,
Yes they sure are a super value! I’ve had the finish nailer (on my dime😉)for a couple years and love it. And they did send me a Brad nailer.... but haven’t tried it out yet... but I have no doubt I’ll like that one too😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Congratulations on the Ryobi partnership! I use Ryobi tools too, and have never been disappointed.
Work is very beautiful
Thank you!
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Nice bench and video.
Thank you Ric!
Good video as always. Really like your version of the Ron Paulk torsion box. I may mimic your for my limited shop space.
Thank you Kenkre! Much appreciated!! 🙏😀
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Great job Joe. Thanks for bringing us along!!
Thank you for checking it out! Part 2 will likely be out sometime in December..., as I’ve got some other things I need to get to first.😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Hey, no worries brother. I comment because I believe in what you do, not so you'll comment back.
Joe great video and awesome news on the partnership with the Home Depot and Roybi tools.
Thank you Scott! It was a great opportunity.... especially since it’s what I’ve always used anyways 😀👍
Been mulling a work bench for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for the ideas!
Awesome! I hope this maybe helped the brainstorming! Ron’s design is super strong and can easily be incorporated into your own designs easily! 😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Another well done project! Glad to see you have a sponsor for the tools. If my wife couldn't see, I wouldn't have a pair of shorts to wear!
Thank you Mark! Yes, she laughs when I wear those😂
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Great job, love the idea of a workbench top which is portable and versatile, and thank you for sharing.
Thank you Daniel! Ron’s designs are just that... portable, versatile and just well thought out!
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
@@homesteadonomics no worries, enjoy your time with your Dad and God Bless.
Great video! Glad you got the partnership with Ryobi and Home Depot.
Thank you Aaron! It was really cool to have the opportunity! And being that I’ve used Ryobi for all of my builds it is just so easy to recommend.... almost 20 years of using them! Big fan of their tools.... in my opinion they’re the best value/quality available!😀👍
Wow! Great video!
That workbench looks awesome, cant wait to see it finished.
Glad to hear about your home depot and ryobi agreements. You deserve them! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Hoping to finish it by December or there abouts! Too busy in November so it’ll have to wait... haha
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Man, you do great work, love your channel and greatly appreciate the enormous effort it takes to bring us great content.👊
Thank you Jim! Adding the video element definitely increases the time on projects a lot.... I would say it doubles or triples the actual physical time to make the project and the editing is about a full day in addition to that. Appreciate the kind words!
Joe
enjoyed your build.........Thank you.
Awesome... thanks for the video...
Thank you for watching! 😀🙏
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
I like that design!
Been driving by your house a lot building the power line. But we are pretty much done with it now.
It sure is a good design! Ron is a pretty good craftsman designer for coming up with it😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
The only thing I can say is the bench looks great.
I might actually be able to build this, and I am in need of a work bench.
Thanks for the great idea.
Awesome! I think Ron paulks designs are pretty awesome! Although I didn’t use plans for this I would recommend them to take some of the figuring out of the equation 😀👍
Nice workbench! Looks like it was a HOLE lot of fun to build!
Haha... yes it was Kevin! Can’t wait to get started on the metal framed base😀👍
Great job! I love your added ideas, it turned out great. I’ll be looking forward to your part 2, thanks for the videos.
Thank you Reinhard! I’m thinking part 2 will be in December as I’ve got some other projects that’ll need to get done first! 👍😀
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
guess who's getting a pair of sox for Christmas? Love your work!!
I hope so! I go through so many of them😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Great project. I really like this type of work bench, very efficient. You did a good job. And there is nothing wrong with being thorough in your builds. Nice logo.
Thank you Raynola! I try to be as thorough as I can with these kinds of builds.... because this bench will be a hugely used part of my projects.... gotta make it stout!!! 💪😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
LED strip lighting on the inside may have been a nice addition. Clean project.
That would look very cool😀👍
awesome show. thanks
Thank you!
sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Congrats on the sponsorship 😁👍 Nice table build! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Conrad! Btw... sorry for the slow response... out camping with my dad in a no cell service area. Just checking messages now👍😀
I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.
That the confident way of drilling pocket holes :) Then you trust you have set the depth collar correct and it is tightened enough so it don't move :)
Yes, gotta make sure the collar is tight... probably not the safest way for sure. But thanks for checking it out!😀🙏
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Congrats on your new sponsor you deserve it now get to work
Haha... thanks!
Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!Got a new hat😎Deer season coming 😃Good luck buddy might see you out there
Thanks Dennis! And sorry for the slow response.... been in 36B for the last couple days.... I made a mistake this year and put the wrong unit info🤦♂️
Great job!
Thank you Chad!
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
I have been thinking about building a new table and this motivates me to go in that direction.
I think you’d like it Jake! And with your shop size I think you could do a straight up 4x8 one with no problems.
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days. (CouesyOutdoors kinda camping 😉)
Neat work! Great workbench.
Thank you Dersu!
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
This is such a neat idea for a workbenche. I wish I had space for something like this in my small shop. Love the tool storage cubbies and even the through holes in the bracing. Would be nice to hold smaller longer wood stock out of the way. Very awesome video
Thank you Kyle!
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Looks good, came out really nice like the storage!👍
Thank you Rick!
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Congratulations on your sponsorship!
Thank you Mattie! It was about a perfect fit since I’ve already been a user for nearly 20 years and have always felt they were about the best value in cordless tools😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
I’ve never heard of him/those before. Very clever & yours looks amazing. 👍😁🙌🏻
He’s got a lot of great workbench and workshop ideas. Check out his workbench/trailer tour video. He’s got an incredible way of how everything is built out and functions together quite seamlessly!
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
@@homesteadonomics good for you! I hope you had a relaxing “off grid” trip 👍🏻.
I’ll definitely check him out. Thank you!
I've never heard of the Paulk workbench, but it looks like a pretty sweet design.
It sure is an awesome design! super rigid and stout!
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Great project and a steel base was never a questions when you first mentioned it in the video. I have various tools with various manufacturers and have been happy with all of my Ryobi as well. So, it looks like you should have 36 six inch wooded circles now. I would like to hear what you might make with those. Where I work the counters and door handles are all the same height of my scrub pockets and I end up ripping a pocket off every month or two. I can sympathize with the ripped shorts. Having the welding table looks like a great place to get some of your new workbench completed. Thanks again for sharing and have a safe and happy day!
Thank you Thom! Yes, I can sympathize on ripped pockets.... the handles I made for the shop cabinets are terrible at grabbing pockets and my headphone cord all the time... haha... and I think these shorts got their final big rip on them too😂
As for the cut outs..... I’m trying to brainstorm ideas for them. Gifts, drink coasters, mechanism turn handles, etc.... not sure but something yes!
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Love your videos!
I really like this bench and right now I’m in the design phase of how to redo my 15 x 20 workshop. BTW, I built your raised beds.
It's great! I love it!
Thank you Jennifer!
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Awesome project!
Thank you Chevy!
Nice sticker!!!
Thanks Rick!
Great job, looking to build a bench myself, going to use this as a guide
Thank you!!! I think you’ll like the paulk style design👍😀
Hey brother just a note, you should allow the mitre saw blade to stop before lifting from the material to avoid any kick back from the offcuts
Good advice... thank you👍😀🙏
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Yes
I really like that bench top. I'm in the design phase for my shop which is 15 x 20. BTW, I built your raised beds design. I was hoping to drop a picture of them in here but apparently it isn't possible. But I really like them. Congratulations on the sponsorships.
Thank you Jan! Would love to see pics of your shop build and the raised beds. You can email them to me, address in description, or sent me a DM on instagram.
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
This workbench reminds me of those desks in elementary school. If I made one, it would probably be just as messy as my desk in school too.😂
Oh yes.... I have zero doubt this will get plenty messy😂
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
@@homesteadonomics hope you had an enjoyable trip!
Very nice work and inspiring! probably going to try to make something similar soon! But a lot smaller.. Thanks 👍😄
Awesome! I think you’ll find Ron Paulks portable design to maybe be perfect for your needs... he’s got several versions of this style workbench from small to large and for all sorts of purposes. Maybe a 3x5 on for you would be great😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
@@homesteadonomics haha no worries.. family time is much more important!! I was thinking about 3x5 or 3x4. Need to check what size suits best in my shop 👍
🦋Happy morning⚘🍃
Great video! Thanks! :)
Thanks MM!!! 😀👍🙏
Purdy work bro! Good job!
Great job Nicely Done
Wow cool. That thing would work fine on a pair of stacking sawhorses. That way it is portable.
You are so handy and creative.
I'm learning a lot. The problem I have is that I'm all about instant gratification, and usually mess up.
Now I need to learn how to plan, and take things slow, because I really want to challenge myself and build something like a small strawbale Casita, on my property.
Maybe I should start smaller...
Anyway, another great video!
Really do appreciate all of time and effort that folks like you put into the making of videos.
Tell you what...I might just have to build something, just so I can show you that I actually did learn from you.
See you next video...
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Edit, the requirements for strawbale structures I found were for Tuscon. Would have included, but couldn't figure out how to attach the PDF
Thanks so much! And don’t worry, I’ve got the same problem... haha... I want to get it done and quick!
As for your strawbale. Are you doing a post beam structure with bales in the middle or walls that are fully supported bales? I originally wanted to build with straw bales for our house but we did the conventional owner builder loan and it was just too foreign sounding to thr bank. But if I had to do it over again I would build as I went for all cash and have it paid off by the time it was done😀👍
@@homesteadonomics
Engineering wise, I believe post and beam is the most widely used, and accepted, during the permitting process, as some building/planning departments have gotten more familiar with strawbale structures. I want to say that I have run across actual standards for it. Can't remember if they were for California, but I think they were (now that I'm thinking about it, I need to find this information again. It may have been a PDF).
My dream was to build a strawbale Casita, for me and my mom (I'm completely in love with anything that doesn't feel like it was just built), but since it's just us, and we wouldn't have family or friends that could help with the build, I would have to hire a contractor that had experience, or at least had the enough interest in taking on a project like this, so I kind of gave up on the idea for practical reasons 😏
So I thought that a small structure that could act like a guest room, might be something I could do, and not worry about how long it would take. Perhaps just hire someone to do the stucco to protect the bales right away, then hire folks to do the electric and plumbing, down the road....at least that's what I've been thinking about. I like the idea of earth bags as well, but it's so labor intensive (and at the age of 58, and a bad back, not sure if I can do it). As for permits, well, I haven't found any evidence that it's been done. Probably wouldn't be permitted.
Dang Joe...you make some seriously sturdy stuff :)
I've been using Ryobe tools since 2004...still have them all but have upgraded the batteries to the newer lithium ones.
Thank you Greg! And yes, I upgraded to thr lithium batteries when they came out and it literally changes the tool capability so much! And I think Ryobi has some of thr best lithium batteries in the market. My favorite ones have been thr 4ah ones!😀👍
@@homesteadonomics They use Samsung 18650 batteries and they are very good...I also use them for my vaping mod.
First off, I like your Florida Safety shoes in the early part of video.
I was wondering if you could show the shop once everything is inside for the night. Congrats on the sponsorship.
Haha... thanks Stuart! Safety first😂👍
And yes I plan to once everything is kinda done... but I realize I’ve been saying that for a couple years now🤦♂️😂. So perhaps after I get the new miter station built😀👍
Since downsizing my shop I have been using a sheet of plywood on horses as an assembly table. This would be a perfect way to make it a better flat surface that could be moved when more space is needed. I also enjoy Home Depot and Ryobi tools. Please keep your hand back when holding the wood when drilling and cutting, a clamp is better than fingers.
Yes, good advice for sure! Thank you! 😀👍
Part 2 should be in the December time frame... or there abouts.
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
You did a marvelous job.
Now that you have a year into this table, is your logic sticker still there.
You have home depot, who is your steel sponsor
😛😛🤣🤣
Joe, you've probably heard the tip for cleaning up glue squeeze with a plastic drinking straw cut on an angle? It's really fast and really clean, perfect for inside corners.
The sander makes a great eraser, doesn't it? I think the top turned out really well and am looking forward to seeing the bottom. Also, It's a good thing you put in the extra internal supports (8:47). ;) Good work, brother. Kevin says this would be an awesome Christmas gift...haha!
Thanks Sis! It would be a great Christmas gift for sure! But I think Marley wants me to be working on the playground before any more of these get built! But perhaps a smaller version😂👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Great video, very illustrative, how I wish I could find such a flat straight plywood board in home depot Toronto, is simply impossible, there's not a single board in good condition and the same happens with lowes and rona, I will try with independent mills for better luck
I have shorts like that. My wife won’t let me wear them though. 🤣
Me too and she’s like nope but will put on tight pants that are missing more then they got and I’m like really... but hers does look good when mine look like a rough day. I have sewed them up many times so fishing shorts now.
One thing you didn't mention is whether you used your router to ease the edges of the holes. Most of the vids dealing with this type of bench make a point of easing the edges of the large side holes, and a lot of them even eases the edges of the dog holes.
Personally, I never glue down a workbench or work table top, so I can replace it when it inevitably gets chewed up.
I just used a bit of sand paper and a finger because I didn’t have a bit with a small bend over... and I didn’t want too much of a radius on the holes. But maybe if I get one of the smaller radius bits I’ll retro fit them😀👍
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
Thanks for sharing,,need a sticker,,
Thanks for checking it out Mitchell! You can check the tee spring link for stickers😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
That is exactly want I'm thinking of doing. How's it held up since u built this.?
My base will be 4x4 post for legs and the drawers and cabinet for tools.
Thanks again for showing your build.
Great bench Joe. Joe I was wondering what boots you have on.
Thanks robert! They are Redbacks boots in the ‘easy escape’ model and in tan suede. I also have worn these boots for years in my day job as a firefighter. Very rugged and tough👍
Need to make a drinking game based on "that's pretty much it" - good work as always.
No, if someone did that they might drink waaaay to much😂👍
Great idea. Looks like I found my next project. I will build it to stand on short saw horses then hang on the side of my kayak/ fishing storage table. I am limited in space as my wife thinks that she should be able to park her car in the garage?
BELLO E INTERESSANTE VIDEO.
COMPLIMENTI.
SALUTI
SALVIO
Given the lumber prices at the moment did you part with an arm or a leg to fund this workbench?? ...lol
Oh boy! It’s been crazy right!!! I actually bought this plywood a couple months ago as I saw lumber shooting up. Knew I was going to use it so I got it. But man I can’t imagine how much more it’s gonna go.
You guys!... please don't talk about the price of lumber😣
Imagine planning the purchase of acreage, buying a manufactured home, and have to have patio covers, and carport built, not to mention needing to buy a large wood storage shed, at this time.
It's killing me!
Pretty sure that anything other than the house, will have to be put off for a while. At least it's going to be winter, I should be able to still be comfortable without the patios.
I went to buy a sheet of 1/2" cdx and they wanted $39 for one sheet. 😳 I opted for a 2' wide section instead but it was still $12.
If we keep having hurricanes coming ashore it will continue to go up.
He used his "New shorts" fund...
bench looks great Joe, you'll end up with a good Irish tan with those shorts. just thinking what are you going to do with the circle off cuts
Hey, nice build. Where will you store this bench? Probably not in your container shop? Will it permanently be attached to the base or will you be able to remove it? Will you be using it outside for the most part?
Can't wait for part 2, really curious. :)
Steel base... good choise.
Thank you! Yes it will likely be stored in my garage... and wheeled out to the shop awning area for use. As for removing the top... likely not... I plan to have it mounted to the steel base permanently with big casters to move the whole thing around😀
Oh yes, sorry about the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell service for the past couple days.
I can only imagine what you'd do if you had a CNC machine
oh boy..... my wife would not like that ;)
@@homesteadonomics She would if you made a bunch of cool stuff for her.
💗
🙄👍 I may build one a little like this for outside on wheels I have a small I could move it around some.😊
👍
😀🙏
Loved the workbench top. Would some rubber matting 1/32"- 1/8" inch thick padding with anti-slip groves inside the bench help? I can see it would protect the wood surface from splintering from tools being dropped onto it and protect the tools from scratches and sliding around.
Those shorts have seen some hard times haha
Sure have🤣 Thanks for checking it out Robin!
Thank you for sharing this great video. Is it safe to assume that the cut outs and storage below the top are used only when a project is in process and not for long-term storage. I have been considering a similar project but sort of pivoting it so that it laid relatively flat against the wall until I needed it at which point I would I would lift the pivot and swing the legs underneath the table. This way it takes up less floor space when it’s not in use and yet per your suggestion of putting wheels on it roll it out to where I’m going to use the bench, lift it up and swing the legs perpendicular for support and it becomes a flat surface. Wishing you and your family continued safety and good health as the pandemic continues to spike here in Northeast Ohio.
Thanks for checking it out! I like your idea of the flip down... keeping space open when not in use!
As for us, we are doing well, thank you! And wishing you and yours well too!
I can’t speak for your Ohio location... but stela’s here, I’ve seen this whole thing up close via my fire service job. I can tell you it’s real for sure... but I can also say there has been an incredible amount if incorrect reporting too. Pretty sad really. The ‘sun belt’ spike was very different than what was reported in national media. We kept watching the news and were like... ‘what??? ‘ Definitely a real issue... but when you see it first hand in the field and via our transport units... and friends and family we have in the hospitals. Just leaves me shaking our heads.
Anyways, sorry went down that rabbit hole😂... always great hearing from you😀👍
Am I the only one that can't seem to find decent lumber at either of the two big box hardware stores? Is it a regional thing?? I just bought a piece of 5/8" plywood and even cut down to 2'x4' it was warped really bad. And that was the 5th sheet down and looked to be the best I was going to do. Do I just have to buy the stuff with the nice finish on one side? It's super frustrating as it adds a layer of complexity that I REALLY don't need! 😕
Anyway, another great video Joe! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out Bob! And yes I hear you and getting plywood. I try to pick the best piece that I can for projects like this... sometimes as much as 10 layers down. Almost any plywood that is not in stacked form with layers on top will start to warp.. so in those cases I will opt not to buy any until a new stack is put in that location. And then when I actually purchase it, I try to use it right away, that day or the next day. But if I can do that I will store it flat on my garage floor with weights on it so as to prevent any warping from starting until I’m ready to use it. But it can sure be a pain. So to sum it up... pick from a new stack... and then store weight down in flat format.... or use right away in your project😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
@@homesteadonomics Thanks Joe, I appreciate the response! Those are good tips... I'll definitely try that!
when my husband bought me the the jigsaw I was happy. But when I started using it I think I lost it because I started screaming and laughing like a evil villain in a kids movie. My husband just shook his head and walked away😂
What type of plywood did you use on your bench?
Like the idea of your work top, but it seems heavy to move around, I'm sure your probability going to use casters to move around.
Awesome Build though do like the details.
Thanks Chuck
It will eventually be mounted on a lower base frame... that will have casters. That’ll be the other half of this video😀👍
Oh yes, Sorry for the slow response. Been camping with my dad in an area with no cell reception for the past couple days.
Question. What kind of strong, good quality wood and glue should i be looking for? What is it called? I've built the majority of the table. Would like to replace the top with a better piece of plywood. To be honest I'm so upset with he lack of quality I'm ready to start over.
This workbench MUST have a steel base! Are we on the homesteadonomics channel or not? 😁
Haha... STEEL it will be!!!!! Probably around December for that part two video! 😀👍👍

@@homesteadonomics I hope you had a great time ;)
How’s the times holding up brother??
We still waiting for an in depth 4 year review on it!!!! Timex needs to sponsor you!!! You’ve worn that watch for a while!! While you work!
Really good! Love this watch! As for a review... perhaps.... just never really thought of it. But it is one of the most common questions I get.... “what kind of watch is that?”
So maybe I ought to do a video on it... perhaps more folks would watch it that if even imagine🤔👍
@@homesteadonomics yes sir!!! Timex should be sponsoring you lol, that watch has held up!!!!!it deserves a review lol
@@NeoB-Lac well, send them my info😂👍
@@homesteadonomics 😂😂
Nice build though the pocket holes from the outside will put the ends of the screws further from the edge of the plywood.
👍👍
😀👍🙏

@@homesteadonomics cool! I wish you were able to make video of the camping site sir
So is the finished size 39 1/4” x 80” x 10 1/4” ?
Just about that yes! But closer to 39 1/8” due to the blade cut taking that extra off. But it could be thinner too. I just made it that thick due to wanting to use my cornhole 6” bit.... but those openings could be made thinner and that’d give you more top space😀👍

Great build, metal legs on wheels?
Yes of course! Looking to have some really beefy casters too!
Btw... sorry for the slow response... out camping with my dad in a no cell service area. Just checking messages now👍😀
11:07 what kind of clamps are those?
What is the plan to stop those interesting tool cubby holes from being not so interesting dust collection units?
Last time had HD cut anything for me, I told the guy cut it, 4X8 sheet of OSB in half longways. He cut it alright, 20" & 28". I asked him for his tape and showed him what he did. He just walked away...
Oh man, sorry to hear that😬. I haven’t had any issues with my HD here.
