This is by far the best "cheap fast workbench" video I have seen. Thanks for not running every board through a planer and jointer.

This is a great video. Making a simple workbench using basic tool only. No table saw, no miter saw and no pocket hole jig. Thanks for sharing this video.

We have had this bench kzfaq.infoUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg for five years now and it is still holding up strong with minimal signs of wear! So much so that I decided to get another one to store other stuff. The first one is still beautiful, strong and is easy to clean. It’s been in our living room and we store toys and blankets in it and it really holds quite a bit of stuff. I purchased a similar one two years ago from Aldi and let me tell you that one fell apart in less than six months of use. Get this one if you’re looking. Seriously worth it. Five years already and I can’t believe it looks this good and has held up for the price! Awesome bench, the new one I just got is identical.

Out of dozens of videos, I finally find this one really practical. All others are good but require too many tools. This one is SUPER useful. Thank you, Jonny.

I have little to no wood working experience. 2 hours ish for me and a 2 trips to home depot. Thanks for the video and plans. Sunday afternoon well spent.

*Hello there, I have requested your DVDs, for simpler and quicker approach to manufacture a shed **Allmy.Tips** I trust the substance are as you guaranteed it will be. Just I'm worried with the substance, it won't be anything but difficult to settle on a decision from the various plans.*

Thank you ... Built it this weekend, modified for my small shed. Worked a treat.

clear directions, not complicated. a most effective video. thanks JB!

Great video! As a beginner this was super helpful. I found out that if you forego the casters and use the 33 1/4" measurements for the legs in your plan you end up needing one more 2x4x8. I just got started building things and was able to build this with ease following your plans. Now I feel like I've gained a skill and a great workbench!

I built this today and is truly a quick and sturdy solution for a workbench. Thank you for the video and clear plans/layout. I did not use casters so set the bottom shelf about 6 inches up from the floor.

Thanks Jonny, just built it today. Awesome bench. The plans were excellent.

Thank you for this video which is super clear and does not involve loads of expensive tools to complete.

I needed something like this for my garage. I currently have a old desk that doesn't move around and I like this idea. I dont want to use MDF but I have a sheet leftover from another project so it should work for me. Thank you!!

I just finished mine today. Thanks for the plans.

Thanks for a great video and comprehensive plans. I shall be building one using some leftover form ply. I even have an antique tape measure that uses 'feet' and 'inches'!

Definitely the easiest and quickest out there. Thank you!

Same design from the original Family Handyman workbench which has been around for years. I built all my workbenches like this and changed the plans for larger and smaller ones, both in height and width. I did use 1/4-20 bolts for ALL the leg connections to frame however, not screws. Also use 3/4 ply for the top, not mdf. They are built like a tank and can hold anything.

Thanks for sharing. By my calculation, you need 6 2x5x8 , not 5.

Just what i needed. Thank you

Great build, thanks for sharing 👍 😊 🙏

Thank you man! Much appreciated!

easy to follow and nice clean build. Ty

Thanks for sharing, god bless you.

The legs assembled in that L configuration make for a rigid structure without the need to make notches at the tops of the legs to accept the rails, as one would have to do if the 2x4s were simply lapped together. Funny to call such an extremely simple -- even rude -- little workbench elegant, but the thinking that went into it and the use of so little material and so few subassemblies that actually aid each other in the assembly process? Well that's elegant, and a work of genius. Lots of people needing their first workbench are going to be beholding to you, Johnny. Well done, guy!

Try using zinser shellac and have them add paint tint at Home Depot. They say it won’t work but it does and can really spruce up a workbench easily

Hey brother, I truly appreciate you including the PDF plans! Gonna build this as soon as I finish our raised beds. thanks!

Nice build, thanks for the plans!

Supper easy and perfect

Definitely building this weekend

One of the best.

I like this design. Was looking for something just like this. I think maybe even I could build it.

Perfect! Going to build this with an MFT top.

Awesome stuff 👏

perfect!!!

Great video, I saw in one of your other videos that you used the Gridlock table. I would like to see you build a DIY version with plans.

Nicely done. Thinking of making that as a outfeed table. Thanks. Take care.

I want one!! I’m going to tell my son!

That's an awesome one hour build Jonny! And unlike a lot of quick benches I've seen, this one looks super sturdy!

I like how the plans are color coded by cut - great work! I have about 7 work benches i think but i may build one of these as a project table, good fast design!

Love this design for an easy and quick build. Wish I would've seen this before I started my build. Details of my not so great workbench. I am just finishing up building a workbench using a kit / design from Menards. Kit is by "Heavyweight" and includes basically the thick plastic corner pieces that you cut 2x4's and plywood to dimensions as detailed in their plans. Low and behold, the one job their person has for providing proper dimensions was a fail. it's a 5' x 2' workbench that instructs you to buy/cut two sheets of plywood/mdf, etc to the same dimensions, though the top overhangs the edges of the frame/legs, while the shelf fits inside the legs.. this already shows that their design is missing some steps (cutting the shelf to a shorter length to fit inside the legs), However this is not the only thing, the short 2x4's of the frame that are supposed to make the Width 24" although the design has you cut the top to the same 24" yet supposedly have overhang?? again.. see a problem here? And top it off, when you put the short pieces into the corner pieces and screw it all together, it comes out to about 1/4" more than the planned 24" So, in the end, the top surface not only will NOT overhang all 4 sides with the dimensions given in the instructions, but it will actually not even sit flush with the edges of the of the legs from front to back.. :( Time to pull it apart and shorten some of the 2x4s to still be able to utilize what I've already cut . Research until you find GOOD step by steps or designs, such as this video above and skip the "easy build" crap from a store.

How do you like the Bora straight edge guide? Do you also have the circular saw track attacment?

Great table for a small shed shop. Thanks for the plans.

Nice build Jonny!! Very simple and practical

That was a nice, simple work table build. However, for your shelf storage if its built similarly, I'd seriously consider changes. Screws suck in shear strength. Run a second piece of 2x4 in each leg and let the shelf horizontal 2x4 rest on that, then screw it in.Run another 2x4 piece vertically above that the 2nd shelf, or top shelf can rest on. That way, all the shelves are supported on (1.5 x 3.5) 5.25 sq inches of lumber per leg, vs some screws.

Great build, Jonny. It came out awesome!

Awesome! Just a question...will this hold a vise?

Nice work Jonny! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Awesome. Super easy and cheap.👍

great simple build

Nice strong fast easy! The perfect workbench! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Great video and simple with minimum tools. I am a starter and still learning. Can you help me design my first project. We have lot of composite deck boards left and I would like to build 24 inch high square end tables with composite board on top. Can you share a drawing so I can just build my first DIY table. Thanks

You should have epoxied the floor before you started moving in. I did it on my garage 15 years ago just days before moving in, KNOWING I'd never have the time and clear space to do it from wall to wall again. I was right, and I'm REALLY glad I took the time out of the move to get it done. And the epoxies these days are MUCH better than the cheaper stuff I used back then, which is still holding up pretty well except for a couple of spots where leaking containers let it soak in before I noticed it.

Awesome!

i need to do one soon. my Ikea desk is about to fall apart.

Wow! might use this sometime!

Really Easy and Really Cool!!!

Can I use pocket holes for the frame and feet? I figure this joinery can be more stable?

I like this simple bench, I might use its' dimensions to mod some carts I got at auction - I ended up with over a dozen projector carts of various sizes, and I think I might combine 2 of the smaller ones with left over pressure treated plywood (trailer sides) to make a small bench that can be broken down and used as carts when not needed as a bench. I can put a thin piece of MDF on the plywood for the smoother surface if needed.

Are floating desks worth it?

1:28 how do you keep your screw in place while doing this? Does anyone have any tips?

This guy deserves likes and follows show support I’ve looked at several different KZfaqrs this guy really shows you STEP BY STEP even gives you a pdf

Are 5 2x4s enough? Seems a little short

Link for the plans?

Thank you very 4:42 😅

I cant find the link for the plans, or the square.

Awesome work, Jonny! I just bought a Jet lathe and I've been pulling out a collapsable table when turning my work. This will be a perfect size for the lathe! Great videos!

We're is the link to plans?

Fantastic work, Jonny! Nicely done! 😃 But for shop furniture... Do you really need more? Not for me. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

where are the dimensions of the boards you cut

Love the simplicity. Do you mind linking the casters? I don’t see it in the description. They’re smooooth! TY!

How can I get instructions for your wall system?

link to the free plans does not sork

thanks a lot could you help me ? I don't know what does this sentence mean : Legs = (8) 2x4’s cut 28 1/4 inch long (Legs for a 34 inch tall bench) which one is the width ? height ? 2x4's ? what is s mean? and also 28 1/4 ? sorry for my question I'm beginer

What i was looking for. Saw a bunch of other videos and they were using advance tools to make a beginner workbench. Like building at 5000 dollar gaming computer to play mine craft..

Your website will not allow several plans to be downloaded, please fix.

What program do you use to draw your projects?

the plans do not download

I think I am overlooking something. 8 x 28.25 (226 inches), 4 x 42 (168 inches), 6 x 15 (90 inches)is a total of 484. 5 8' boards are 480 inches. I would need 6 boards, not 5?

Technically you used your skill saw screw gun screws, straight edge and square..... Just saying. Haha What a cool little Build dude. Good job 🤘🤘

Not first.

"You can build this with just these two tools!" Proceeds to use 9 other tools.

First comment!

There are no plans in the link, just an email subscription.

*impact driver.

Don't use MDF for a shop bench, come on man.

I don't want to be that guy, but your clock changed from 11:33 to 11:51 (18 minutes), and your stopwatch changed from 47minutes to 57minutes (10 minutes). So it seems you have one of those stopwatches that doesn't' work correctly

Took me about 5 hours but I did it lol. Lots of trial and error.
