Nice design. Curious why you didn't make a fold-out platform for the table saw instead of hanging it off the end. Would require no mods to the table saw and would make the table more compact when not using the saw.
I'm a carpenter, that's a nice simple but well thought out design. You took lots of care and I wouldn't have done a thing differently. People go overkill on these benches but yours is all 99.9% would need. Well done. Great job.
The only thing id advise on is to slightly round over the endges of the miter saw hole cover board, and the edges of the holes in the table. That makes sure nothing gets caught on them when your in the middle of ripping something on the table saw, and its a very quick modification.
I love and hate UA-cam. I love that it brings people like you and so many others who are showing people their ideas and what they are building. We all win when we can see what is possible and or what is good that could be better. I like that you mention what you might change or some of the issues might. I own a small construction company that builds luxury’s homes and when a little slower we remodel and occasionally build additions. What you made, I’ve seen similar benches before. But what you have done that many others did not….. the little “extra” actions that make a huge difference in quality. That is what impresses me. I’m guessing one day you’ll make another bench and incorporate lessons you’ve learned from this build. Thanks for taking the time to record and upload your ideas and work. PS. I often incorporate work benches into garages of our custom homes. I occasionally make the bench top, then run it down to our LineX installer. I use black but they can spray any color you want. On the bench tops I have them spray a very soft texture. The strength of the LineX is it max the surface almost impervious to damage. If you need the top to be smooth… lineX isn’t the best choice. A butcher block hardwood top works well for smooth top and so does MDF with a couple of coats of polyurethane or a two part lacquer.
Very nice bench. One idea. You can create fences for either side of the miter saw for longer pieces and just stake them down with the dog holes and clamps. Store them underneath
I've watched a few dozen of these type videos and this is the first that shows you the completed project before the construction starts. Glad you edited the video that way. I liked being able to see what features it had first beforehand. thanks for that.
I'm moving from a 1400 square foot garage/shop to a normal two car garage and was literally trying to decide what to do with my miter saw and table saw. I think I know I'm going to do now, thanks!
To avoid the cantilever effect on the table saw platform, some foldable legs could easily be added. Split a 2x4 then cut to length. Attach them using hinges or locking brackets. To secure them in the folded position, add magnets or velcro or whatever.
I’m designing a bench similar to this. I’m trying to keep the bench as small as possible, so I’m looking at making it 2’x6’. I think I will keep my table saw on the inside of the legs rather than outside, and I can’t see any reason to not permenantly fix it to the bench. I want to be able to use the miter saw slot as a router table slot as well, so I think I will use 2x4’s at the edge of that well to hold the miter saw without blocking the router. I’m also putting a floor on mine to store tools, and an extra set of braces to act as wood storage between the legs. Awesome video. It is really inspiring to see someone who is operating out of a garage shop with diy level tools.
Very nice except for one thing! You have no support for the weight of the table saw. Over time that weight will cause the support arms to start to sag. Add two 2x4s at a 45 degree angle. Mortise them in and eliminate the possibility of any future sagging.
Seen many videos on work benches they are either not talking or advertising different tools. Also using very complicated joinery methods. I have to say I love this video very interesting and informative. I will actually make this one thank you so much
There is only one type of person that can actually take the time to design something like this for themselves, and that’s a Ryobi user. This is a compliment.
I've been looking at all types of build-your-own work benches over the past 6 months and probably viewed over 100. Why I missed your creation during my searches, I do not know. But I found it, thank goodness. Without doubt, the best instructional video and best workbench that will fit my needs precisely. Great detailed description as you progress through the cut out and assembly. You made it look so easy but suspect that was because your video was well planned out and put the right amount of time into the more complex parts during assembly. Thanks for a fantastic video and hope to start my build next week.
Young man, you are on to something. I would encourage you to make that bench official with dimensional drawings and a patent so you can make some money . This is perfect for persons with small work spaces. Well done!
Looks like a great bench. My only suggestion would be to add an angle support from the end of the table saw extension to the middle/bottom of the legs.
This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?
angle support for the whole table, and angle support for the table saw, and then get some sheet metal bent and cut to cover the workbench in its entireity. That ply isn't going to stand up long term.
I was thinking of extending the bottom out under the table saw using 2 full length rails and eliminating the stretcher. This would give u a platform to store your miter saw, when not in use, and counterbalance the weight of the table saw.
Gordon here, Well done young man, You made something that made subscribe to your videos . So well at explaining how to do things now you me making one up on paper and this summer it will come into view for me. So to say I am building it to my needs. But I thank you for showing this old dog a new trick LOL , A meta-for to speak of.
That’s a pretty nice design for a work bench. When you mount the table saw you want the table saw to be about 1/16-1/8 inch higher then the bench top. This way if the board or whatever your cutting has a downward bend it should still clear the gap between the table saw and bench. Also you could add legs under the table saw for extra support. Also I would put a shelf under the bench instead of that single stretcher. It’ll give you lots of extra storage space. Plus it will also help by adding weight to the bench. This may eliminate the need for extra support legs under the table saw.
These is a really cool idea. I know its simple, however its really nice that you can move it around so easily. Solves that eternal problem of garage workshops.
This is an awesome idea. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a way to make my 1-bay garage workshop useful. I can never even cut wood in it. I have to move my table saw or planer outside to do anything. But if I could come up with a way to make a workbench double as a table saw, miter saw, planer, routing table combo, I could fit it all in there and also use it as a work bench. I just don't ever want to remove any items though because all those tools are heavy :) I need a way to crank tools up and down haha.
What a brilliant and simple idea to use the off-cuts of the 2×4s for the legs. As they say, waste not, want not. Thank you for the video and the ideas. I appreciate ya!
Great idea and relatively simple to build. Being able to joint the 2x4's on the table saw is a plus. You should be able to add strength to the table saw support arms by adding 45 degree plywood (perhaps a couple of them glued together) between the arms and the legs.
Great space saving workbench/work station idea! Looks very functional. The only thing I would want as a personal modification is a vise on the end, opposing the table saw, to act as a counterbalance.
Suggestions:use the remaining plywood for a lower shelf. Add a dust collector to counterweight the table saw and have a cleaner garage. And it gives you a place to put the miter saw when you need the outfeed area. Put pegboard on the end opposite the table saw to store pencils, measuring instruments, brushes, PPE, glue, fasteners, etc.
Great video! Could you share the length/depth/height dimensions? I'm new to woodworking and want to make sure I make this the right size to accommodate the saws.
@Juan, the table saw is hanging off the end of the table with all its weight resting on the tables top frame rail. James suggests bracing those top rails using a support brace that goes from the underside of the rails to the legs (cut at 45 degrees). That way, the saw's weight is transfered to the legs,
That would only transfer the weight more evenly to the legs and make the whole thing more rigid. It would still lead the table to tip if not more do to even more weight on the other side of the leg. The easiest solution would be to add weight to the opposite side of the table. The "kicker" would need to need to go from the ground to the legs to move the balance point over. If the table saw section where shaped like an L (support legs that reach the ground) and slid in and out of the underside of the table, that would be really slick and address the issue of tipping while getting rid of the two bars sticking out the side.
Or he could just make a stand alone “cart” to put the table saw on that buts up to the table and is held together by either magnets or a clamping mechanism.
This video needs at least triple the views. This is an incredible design for a small shop. Gonna try and make this when my weekend eventually comes around.
Great video, this resonated so much with me. No festool domino or thousands of dollars of clamps. Ryobi drill, dewalt table saw, harbor freight clamps; just like my shop. I'm gonna give this build a shot, thanks.
You should make a bench that puts the fence of the miter saw inline with the max width of the fence on the table saw so you don't have to move the miter saw when making rip cuts, that would be cool! Also added bonus the material you have to cut with the miter saw will already be under the miter saw!
Do you have any illustration of what you're suggesting? I am very new to woodworking and only plan on building a workbench; but am bad in visualizing things yet. The bench in this video is nice. I don't like the constant stress on the 2x4s which the table saw rests on. I think they will likely bend/warp over time. I also have concerns about the top surface. It will surely allow cutting boards and sheets, but I think, putting something heavy on it may introduce some curvature (ruin the flatness)...
Nice work! If you add a pivot point towards the back of the base for the miter saw you could fold it down when not needed. Two latch locks can keep it on the upright position when in use. You could also build a platform under the table and store your planet there as well! I also have a router mounted to my table and a shop vac to keep things clean! Three gates on the vacuum hoses separate the suction from the router fence, table saw, and miter saw.
I like it! For me, I think I'd put a router table instead of a table saw at the end and use 2x6 frame construction, while moving the legs under the overhung part. Also, I'd like to add a leg clamp. Another idea I have is to add a shelf along the bottom to hold the miter saw when not in use and also make that interchangeable with a thickness planer. For my very tiny shop this is a perfect work bench solution. Thanks.
Brilliant, simple solution. There are a few minor details that I think I would have done differently, but overall this is brilliant in its simplicity. Not exactly what I need for myself, but then again I don't think I will find someone who has built something exactly fitting my needs. Hence me on UA-cam getting ideas. I love your idea of holes in your bench for clamping. I may run with that idea myself. I'm glad this seems to work well for you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved this design. My only concern is the counterweight needed on the opposite end to keep your table from flipping not only under the weight of the table saw, but also in the event you place a heavy material on the table saw.
Couple of sandbags or dumbbells might do the trick, or just whatever that can be used as counterweight. But for a garage or small workshop that table is terrific.
I just built a post and beam workshop 10x20, I have shelves running down both 20' walls, this will fit right in the middle creating aisles on all sides to reach everything. Perfect.
A great deal of good content in a very concise video. Good job. I especially liked the idea of having a good run out table for the table saw while still having a "built-in" space for the miter saw. I noticed you used a planer.... on the floor Your bench, as finished, will make an OK surface for utilizing this tool as well. Also, I liked that you explained that the nails were only there to hold parts together, not to fasten. Nails are notoriously poor fasteners. Screws and glue are much better. Finally, I liked the idea that you made the legs removable. Overall, I liked your design and how you put the thing together. Cheers
Nice simple build. Would love to see a version with a flipping top so you would just rotate the chopsaw underneath when not in use. It could have a backsplash behind the saw that becomes part of the top of the table when folded down.
Really well done, thank you! I’m new to wood working and this was THE size bench I was looking for help with! I’m adding a fold down surface to the back side so I can gain extra table top surface when needed. I also am taking note of the need for support with the table saw and adding some legs there. Keep killin it!
This is the design I’ve been looking for. Add a little counter weight to handle the table saw, and maybe some mounting so I can fix it to the garage wall if I need the extra stability.
Great idea and execution! I always wondered if it's safe to rid of the rounded corners on a table saw that way, especially when construction 2x4s are not straight. I'd add foldable legs at the table saw end to prevent the table from tipping over.
Gday from Down under. I just spent the last 12 hours building a Moser Makes inspired bench for my table saw and drop saw. Bloody thing weighs a ton LOL. Im gonna give it a crack tomorrow and see how it goes, Cheers. Thanks for the ideas on dimensions and dropping the saw into the recess.
Hey mate, great practical build, well done. I really like the ability to drop the mitre saw on that sub shelf. I noticed you put the mitre saw away in between on the video, have you considered putting a small shelf on the bottom stretcher for the mitre saw? Then when not in use you still have it on the bench and easily accessible to you. I did exactly that as I was putting my mitre saw away in between uses and found this a lot easier.
This would be a great addition. Also, if the miter saw is placed at the opposite end of the structure when not in use it would counter balance the weight of the tablesaw.
Great video. One suggestion because I did the same mistake on my workbench. Leave overhang of a couple inches of the bench top over the frame so you can easily clamp to the edge.
Nice economical bench setup. One of the best I've seen for its simplicity and usefulness. U incorporated some great features usually found on more expensive setups. Great job!
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Well done video. Great narration that is in perfect sync with the video. Useful tips and tricks explained at its best. Thanks for sharing.
Good job of presenting your video, unlike 90% of the UA-cam fluff videos, that mainly focus on the narcissistic presentation of themselves & not staying focused on the subject matter 😅 I built something quite similar over 40yrs ago, I didn’t do the cutout for the miter saw, it had raised sliding table for the miter saw that when removed didn’t need an insert.
I like this one for its simplicity. Not everything I would want in a workbench but a great bench to start with and to use while I work up to more complicated designs. Great video with simple, honest explanations. I liked that you showed how you had to shim and how the spring assembly came apart. New sub, and yes this will probably be the bench I build for my too small basement shop.
Nice work bench. Well done. I like that it can be used for the table saw and the miter saw being removeable. Only thing I'd do different is making the legs foldable since my shop is so small and need to make use of all the available space.
This is brilliant. I'm new to woodwork but feel I could probably manage this over the course of 3 - 4 days. Love the set up and would work in my small space . Thank you
Well thought out. Good choice of tools to go in it. If you allow the edges of the plywood to overlap the frame you will not need the dog holes or disassembly of the clamps. Just a thought.
Backseat Driver here I know - but you've reduced the strength of the 2x4's holding up the miter saw; have you thought about an angled support for those arms? Just for that extra bit of peace of mind...
I LOVE that it functions for both the table saw AND chop saw! I was just watching some videos on building kitchen cabinets and I realized I might need a real table for my table saw...
If this could be made into a fold away work bench I’d throw my wallet at you. This makes all the sense. As another person said; you are on to something. This is brilliant. I tip my hat to you and give you respect. Since everything is adapted to it to sit right… there should be no reason it can’t fold away. Would love to work on that. Let me know if you’re interested.
You know, you have a very professional way of working. You are calm, and your level headedness is paying dividends to you. You are doing excellent work here, and I look forward to seeing what you will do in the future. Well done my brother. Warm regards to you from Port Hope, ON., Canada.
Amazing how tools have changed. In high school shop class in the 90s, we had radial arm saws, and the scary and intimidating panel saws. Both are damn near obsolete with the sliding miter and the track saw, at least for the home garage shop anyways!

Me too.
I was thinking the same thing.
There's no reason it couldn't just be gusseted / triangulated from the existing legs
For those of us who don't know what that means can u explain
Bought this work bench plan. Wow what a time saver. Built mine without the table saw bit. Super happy 🎉

Couldn't you just drop the blade for the outfeed area?
Thank you UA-cam for recommending multi functional mobile work bench. I need to make one.
I love the table, I would make one minor change. I would add a storage under the workbench for the saw.
Just built this last week definitely a game changer!!!

Six months later and let me say thank you soo much! I made one today!! Not as nice but same concept. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Add a 45deg kicker to the cantilever portion to transfer to load of the table saw to the legs directly
can u explain plis? i dont understand the concept xD

You'd need the same saws for the same bench to work
Nice work! If you add a pivot point towards the back of the base for the miter saw you could fold it down when not needed. Two latch locks can keep it on the upright position when in use. You could also build a platform under the table and store your planet there as well! I also have a router mounted to my table and a shop vac to keep things clean! Three gates on the vacuum hoses separate the suction from the router fence, table saw, and miter saw.
I like it! For me, I think I'd put a router table instead of a table saw at the end and use 2x6 frame construction, while moving the legs under the overhung part. Also, I'd like to add a leg clamp. Another idea I have is to add a shelf along the bottom to hold the miter saw when not in use and also make that interchangeable with a thickness planer. For my very tiny shop this is a perfect work bench solution. Thanks.
Brilliant, simple solution. There are a few minor details that I think I would have done differently, but overall this is brilliant in its simplicity. Not exactly what I need for myself, but then again I don't think I will find someone who has built something exactly fitting my needs. Hence me on UA-cam getting ideas. I love your idea of holes in your bench for clamping. I may run with that idea myself. I'm glad this seems to work well for you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved this design. My only concern is the counterweight needed on the opposite end to keep your table from flipping not only under the weight of the table saw, but also in the event you place a heavy material on the table saw.
Couple of sandbags or dumbbells might do the trick, or just whatever that can be used as counterweight. But for a garage or small workshop that table is terrific.
I think I’ll do this but add a heavy Vice to the opposite side.
One of the best benches I've seen yet
I've been searching for a saw station design for months due to having a 10' × 20' shop. This is perfect for my space!
I just built a post and beam workshop 10x20, I have shelves running down both 20' walls, this will fit right in the middle creating aisles on all sides to reach everything. Perfect.
Thanks for the video. This is great pacing and very simple to follow with little fluff... you don't often see videos like this.
This looks awesome! What about adding supports(legs) for the table saw, so you’re not worried about it tipping?
Nice budget table saw solution. The only improvement I can think of is covering the work station with a slicker material than the wood. Great job.
Dude. This is BOSS. Props!
A great deal of good content in a very concise video. Good job. I especially liked the idea of having a good run out table for the table saw while still having a "built-in" space for the miter saw. I noticed you used a planer.... on the floor Your bench, as finished, will make an OK surface for utilizing this tool as well.
Also, I liked that you explained that the nails were only there to hold parts together, not to fasten. Nails are notoriously poor fasteners. Screws and glue are much better. Finally, I liked the idea that you made the legs removable.
Overall, I liked your design and how you put the thing together. Cheers
Nice simple build.
Would love to see a version with a flipping top so you would just rotate the chopsaw underneath when not in use. It could have a backsplash behind the saw that becomes part of the top of the table when folded down.
You mean the one Woodshop Junkies channel uses?? Plans and explanations enough there!
I also really like this solution! Well done and thanks for taking me through the process!!!
Freaking awesome! I love the versatility here, and the ability to tweak later.
This is probably the best video I’ve seen so far on building a workbench. Great job buddy. God bless.
That's a job for Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday for me.
Practice will make you faster. I was there, too.
Thanks for getting to the point in a very detailed manner. Appreciate your time.
Do you have plans online for this? I'd love to build this exact bench for my workspace.
would be awesome to get a set
Did you ever get the workspace dimensions? Or know where I could get the materials list / dimensions
It’s a 2’ x 7’ top
For the small startup shop -- GENIUS!
Really well done, thank you! I’m new to wood working and this was THE size bench I was looking for help with! I’m adding a fold down surface to the back side so I can gain extra table top surface when needed. I also am taking note of the need for support with the table saw and adding some legs there. Keep killin it!
This is the design I’ve been looking for. Add a little counter weight to handle the table saw, and maybe some mounting so I can fix it to the garage wall if I need the extra stability.
Nice job!! 👍✔I believe some tool storage on the bottom will solve the weight balance issue without having to do a major design revamp
💖
Great job. It's great too see a young man doing something with his hands besides playing with a phone or holding a game controller.
Great idea and execution! I always wondered if it's safe to rid of the rounded corners on a table saw that way, especially when construction 2x4s are not straight. I'd add foldable legs at the table saw end to prevent the table from tipping over.
Gday from Down under. I just spent the last 12 hours building a Moser Makes inspired bench for my table saw and drop saw. Bloody thing weighs a ton LOL. Im gonna give it a crack tomorrow and see how it goes, Cheers. Thanks for the ideas on dimensions and dropping the saw into the recess.
Hey mate, great practical build, well done. I really like the ability to drop the mitre saw on that sub shelf. I noticed you put the mitre saw away in between on the video, have you considered putting a small shelf on the bottom stretcher for the mitre saw? Then when not in use you still have it on the bench and easily accessible to you. I did exactly that as I was putting my mitre saw away in between uses and found this a lot easier.
This would be a great addition. Also, if the miter saw is placed at the opposite end of the structure when not in use it would counter balance the weight of the tablesaw.
Great video. One suggestion because I did the same mistake on my workbench. Leave overhang of a couple inches of the bench top over the frame so you can easily clamp to the edge.
Nice economical bench setup. One of the best I've seen for its simplicity and usefulness. U incorporated some great features usually found on more expensive setups. Great job!
Sir, you are a next-level genius.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Well done video. Great narration that is in perfect sync with the video. Useful tips and tricks explained at its best. Thanks for sharing.
totally agree....wish all you tubers had this guys talents for audio video presentations
Good job of presenting your video, unlike 90% of the UA-cam fluff videos, that mainly focus on the narcissistic presentation of themselves & not staying focused on the subject matter 😅
I built something quite similar over 40yrs ago, I didn’t do the cutout for the miter saw, it had raised sliding table for the miter saw that when removed didn’t need an insert.
I like this one for its simplicity. Not everything I would want in a workbench but a great bench to start with and to use while I work up to more complicated designs. Great video with simple, honest explanations. I liked that you showed how you had to shim and how the spring assembly came apart. New sub, and yes this will probably be the bench I build for my too small basement shop.
Completely agree and you (Moser) earned yourself another sub!
Nice work bench. Well done. I like that it can be used for the table saw and the miter saw being removeable. Only thing I'd do different is making the legs foldable since my shop is so small and need to make use of all the available space.
Brilliant. I need something that for my set up. Cheers for the idea. It looks great!! Well done
You my friend are a very creative soul keep up the good work. I have decided to recreate your work bench thank you for the inspiration. Rik
Hey that’s amazing! Could you please share the measurements? Thanks a lot
Please share the measurements, please.
That thing is amazing! Now I have to re-do my workbench to be like this one...
I made this but do not have a table saw to mount, love the mobility of it and it feels like it is going to last a long time.
This is brilliant. I'm new to woodwork but feel I could probably manage this over the course of 3 - 4 days. Love the set up and would work in my small space . Thank you
And here I was proud of my little shelf
Would be great for my basement. Wish you made plans in pdf form.
Then he would charge for that like most UA-camrs. Wood Work Mortals has a free workbench in plans, but everything else you have to pay
Well thought out. Good choice of tools to go in it. If you allow the edges of the plywood to overlap the frame you will not need the dog holes or disassembly of the clamps. Just a thought.
Backseat Driver here I know - but you've reduced the strength of the 2x4's holding up the miter saw; have you thought about an angled support for those arms? Just for that extra bit of peace of mind...
I think you mean tablesaw. But yes, I would add some 2x4's angled down to the legs to help support the tablesaw on the end.
@@CSgtFaol 100% just an extendable monopod back far enough under the contractors saw so as not to trip on.
Thanks for the great design and build detail! Great idea to have the miter saw well with workbench cover! And the table saw mount too!
I’ll be building this one. A wheeled work bench is exactly what I need
I LOVE that it functions for both the table saw AND chop saw! I was just watching some videos on building kitchen cabinets and I realized I might need a real table for my table saw...
How can I get the dimension's, so I can build this? I love it.
If this could be made into a fold away work bench I’d throw my wallet at you. This makes all the sense. As another person said; you are on to something. This is brilliant. I tip my hat to you and give you respect. Since everything is adapted to it to sit right… there should be no reason it can’t fold away. Would love to work on that. Let me know if you’re interested.
You know, you have a very professional way of working. You are calm, and your level headedness is paying dividends to you. You are doing excellent work here, and I look forward to seeing what you will do in the future. Well done my brother. Warm regards to you from Port Hope, ON., Canada.
Thank you so much for posting this. I built my own following your method of construction and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Amazing how tools have changed. In high school shop class in the 90s, we had radial arm saws, and the scary and intimidating panel saws. Both are damn near obsolete with the sliding miter and the track saw, at least for the home garage shop anyways!
Great bench idea! I'm planning something similar, love the clamp mod and grid layout.
