Hi everyone,
this is the finally finish our Ultimate Workbench, by making the entire storage compartment under the work surface. This completes the construction of this Workbench, as it is shown in the set of plans.
It´s been a long journey but now we´re here!
I hope that you enjoy this video and that you can take away some inspiration and ideas or your own workshop :)
This is the tenth video in a longer series about making a versatile Workbench/Workstation. This project is especially awesome for small workshops but the general construction methods can be used for any size wood shop!
Here´s a short list of tools that I use or that went into the workbench. These are affiliate links that will lead you straight to the amazon page of the item.

I watched all 12 parts! I was most interested in the router installation and track system. well done!
Thats stamina! Many thanks, glad that you liked it!
Awesome attention to details.
Hi Thomas,
While looking for a very stable and very flat DIY workbench I found yours and decided to build one. My frame is larger, but built exactly the same way, including all the dovetails. The leg assembly is a bit different, as I do not need the wheels, but I want the possibility of disassembling the table easily. After about three months of sparetime work the table stands in my workshop, and it’s beautiful and extremely flat and stable. T-tracks and router setup are still to be made, which I am looking forward to do.
I am so happy you published all your thoughts and solutions - thanks a lot for your good work.
That sounds awesome! Thank you for your kind words. This kind of interaction is the best thing about UA-cam!
All the best,
Thomas
i dont even understand. I dont have a workshop. I am not a craftsman. I just find watching these fascinating! And it is so damn clean and awesome. must be a joy to work on it.
Thanks so much! Yes I am soo happy to have it :D
Wirklich sehr schön geworden deine Werkbank Thomas. 👍👍👍
Amazing job! Your attention to detail with this entire project has been outstanding!
Great job! Thank you so much for sharing this project.
Beautiful craftsmanship
I love your videos, thank you for sharing your work with us!
Yes, amazing! Great design of course, very versatile and nice piece of equipment!
Well done pleasure to watch the series
Such a nice Workbench! So much functionality integrated!
Wow good project bro
Amazing piece of work! I remember the first episode coming out over a year ago.
Way to go! The somewhat over-complicated workbench is finally finished. Glad to see the completed project. Question: Linseed oil? I know it is a workbench, and it's not made of exotic woods, but linseed oil?
Thanks so much! Haha yes it was quite a long way! Yes, I wanted to put on some kind of surface protection and linseed oil is ultra low maintenance and felt like a good choice for a workbench :)
Thomas, that is a beautiful workbench. Your attention to detail and precision is inspiring. I just have to ask though, why didn't you use the parf guide system to give your 20mm dog holes an absolutely precise grid pattern. I know the parf guide is a bit steep in price, but for the level of precision you've employed in building that bench it seems justified. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to seeing you put it to use in more projects.
Hi Roger, thank you so much! To be honest I didn't know that the parf system existed. xD
It seems pretty nice! So far I had no issues with my "free hand" pattern. In case that something is not perfectly parallel the vise can be set to an angle ever so slighty and both sides tightened individually.
Awesome. Can you still extend the wheels by yourself with all the drawers filled?
Thank you! yes, it still works, but now I have to use is with both hands... And it was necessary to lubricate the contact surface between the excentrix part and the wheel board with some wax to keep the friction down.
I'm just planning to do something very similar. Are you still happy with the Veritas twin screw vise and the position of the Router right in the middle?
Hi Dirk,
I am very happy with the position of the router, I use it a lot now and it feels perfect. The Veritas vise is allright I think, but it feels a bit slow and hefty at times, so something with a quick release would be better I think. However it does what it should and is pretty solid.
Perfect workbench! Its a work of art in design and finish. Well Done its been a pleasure to watch it come together. What Training and background do you have to be able to complete such an amazing piece?
Hi Paul! Thanks so much! A mixture of things. The workbench is based on one from a german woodworking magazine (link in the description). so the main functionalities are taken from there. I only changed the weight carrying structure to be more functional, robust and cheaper.
My background is mechanical engineering (aerospace) :)
A mechanical Engineer with an interest in woodwork for a hobby is a great combination for a finish just like this. I could only dream to complete such a project but you have inspired me to try at least. Thanking you.
Thats awesome!
Good work! You provided me with a lot of inspiration for my own project.
Just out of idle curiosity, may I ask what you do for a living / have professional training in? That would tell me a lot about why you choose some techniques, and disregarded others, and may allow me to adjust my plans accordingly.
Hi Christoph,
I am a mechanical engineer for aerospace technology. Carpenting is just my hobby :)

Hallo Thomas,
ich habe gerade deine gesamte Serie zu deiner Werkbank in einem Rutsch durchgesehen und bin total begeistert!
Ich habe schon längere Zeit den Wunsch mir eine Werkbank zu bauen und habe ebenfalls die Pläne von der Holzwerken Zeitschrift als Vorbild.
Deine Anpassungen und Umsetzungen sind sehr gut durchdacht und wunderbar in den Videos dargestellt.
Ich überlege ebenfalls die Siebdruckplatte in die Rahmenkonstruktion einzulassen und nicht wie viele andere sie oben aufliegen zu lassen.
Was sind diesbezüglich deine Erfahrungen? Stichwort ausfransen der Kanten, Schaffung einer ebenen Oberfläche, Hängenbleiben an Kanten...
Wie groß ist der tatsächliche Nutzen der T-Nutschienen an den Seiten (außer natürlich bei der Fräse)?
Was waren deine Argumente gegen eine Tauch-Sägevorrichtung mit Führungsschiene? (Vorhandene Tischkreissäge?)
Wie gut empfindest du die Schallunterdrückung in der Einhausung deiner Fräse?
Was würdest du mittlerweile ggf. anders machen?
Eine weitere Quelle der Inspiration für mich (und ggf. für dich) war der UA-camr "Klavieratelier".
ua-cam.com/video/Kb7j6QGZoF0/v-deo.html
Der hat auch einige sehr interessante Anpassungen an der Holzwerken-Werkbank eingebracht.
Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Videos!
Und viel Freude mit deiner Werkbank!
LG
Hallo,
vielen Dank für die lieben Worte!
Das Einlassen der Siebdruckplatte: Ausfransen ist kein Problem, Hängenbleiben dank des letzten Schrittes mit dem Kopierfräser auch nicht. Schaffung einer Ebenen Oberfläche hängt komplett von der Unterkonstruktion ab, wenn die inneren Streben gerade gehobelt sind, ist es kein Problem.
Zusammenfassend würde ich sagen, dass das Einlassen der Platte nur optische Vorteile hat, kann man also auch einfach auflegen und dann anfasen/abrunden.
Die T-Nut-Schienen benutze ich tatsächlich nur beim Fräsen.
Die Tauchsäge habe ich nicht vorgesehen, weil mir die damit verbundene Technik zu teuer war. Stattdessen dann halt die Verwendung als Auslauf für die Kreissäge, das klappt gut und ist recht praktisch, wenn die Werkstatt klein ist.
Die Schallunterdrückung für die eingebaute Fräse ist schwach, vor allem weil die Siebdruckplatte den Schall mit überträgt.
Was ich anders machen würde:
Ich würde eine Doppelzarge mit Schnellverstellung einbauen; sowas sieht man selten, aber das viele Gekurbel zwischen unterschiedlich breiten Werkstücken hält immer auf.
Bonusantwort, was mir nachhaltig gefällt: Die vielen Steckdosen, die Fräse, das Lochmuster.
Viele Grüße
Thomas
Hi Thomas, Just purchased a set of your plans - great to see proper engineering drawings. Now that you have had the work bench awhile, is there anything you would do different? Regards, Sam
Hi Sam, thanks for purchasing the plans! I hope you will have fun with them!
There were a few details such as holes of the pattern that ended up in funny positions. But I built my workbench before publishing the plans so all changes are incorporated in the ones that you downloaded (in case of major ones) or pointed out in the videos (in case of minor ones).
Overall I must say I am happy with it. Using lock nuts in the wheel mechanism would be the immediate detail I would change.
Regards,
Thomas
@@pilotsworkshop4554 Thanks for the quick reply Thomas. i just now have to work out how much wood i need to buy. I was thinking of putting my vice on the side instead of the end. can you foresee any issue with this?
Regards,
Sam (from NZ)
From a structural point of view this would be fine. You only have to look out for the "dust roof", the vice-screws may collide with it so maybe you would have to make small cut outs for those. But that´s no big deal.
The only downside I see may be that you won´t be able to use the full potential of the hole pattern for clamping, but that´s a minor issue in my opinion.
In the end you should make it as it fits most into your workshop space and workflow. A vice on the side is the traditional way to build workbenches so there must be great advantages to that layout, too.
👍🏻👊🏻
very cool!!! I'm sure you've already been asked, but how long did it take to make this workbench?
and how much did it cost in US dollars?)
Hello Mr. Bond ;) Yes I believe that I answered that somewhere, but I donßt remember where, when or the exact numbers. All in all it came in well under $1000.
The commercial addons were by far the most expensive parts. Vise 200, Router 300, Routerplate 80, benchtop 90 (all circa). The main construction is all spruce and not that expensive, maybe 150 total. Then some 100 or so in misc. thing like glue, outlets etc...
Hope that helps! Many Regards.
@@pilotsworkshop4554 thanks a lot for such a detailed answer! good luck
