I wanted a portable workbench I could bring camping to try carving. I found a lot of nice options online but they were all $200-300 so I decided to make one with scrap 2x4s and furring strips. The bulk of the bench is super easy to make but the vise was challenging. This is the first vise I made so I have room for improvement but overall this was a really fun build.

Two nuts would also work well for the vice

You think people looking for DIY small workbench vids have a big workbench and 10.000 worth of equipment to make it?

The “required” tools in this video are under $1500 and even if you include all my tools used, it’s under $3000 - which includes the milling equipment which is completely unnecessary. Plus my “big” workbench merely served as an assembly table, which could literally be any surface. Also I stated my reason for building this mini workbench was to bring with camping - which is one of many reasons someone may build a mini workbench. I can’t please everyone’s needs. Is your question serious or are you attacking me because I have tools you do not have? If you have an actual question about a step or tool alternative, I’d gladly answer it. Or someone else watching the video may have a great suggestion to help you out. I know tools are expensive, it took me years to save money to buy mere hobbyist grade tools, but there are lots of used power tools or hand tool options that can save money for building a starter collection. But at the end of the day, I can’t show every possible process with every possible collection of tools, so you have to use your imagination to figure out how to build it with what you have available. Maybe you’ll find a way to make it better in the process.

Dude; anyone can make this kind of bench with just a chisel, saw, and a drill. This is one of the best diy options for a portable bench I’ve ever seen. If you’re strapped, skip the planing and all that. You’ll still end up with a really valuable product.

Yea, freaking wussy. I found a kitchen island sombody was throwing out due to them upgrading their kitchen. I took off the top and now I have a like new mini workbench top to start with. Stop whining about what you don't have and focus on what you need to get the job done. And stop being freaking rude!

⁠@@fangerwoodworkingThis was a great project! And I don’t think your arsenal of machinery is nearly as broad as your detractor makes it sound! If I remember correctly, you used a hand drill and not a drill press! It’s a shame that people like yourself take the considerable time and effort to produce content, but have to be prepared to receive any kind of criticism, warranted or not, that any wag who views it feels like commenting! Shrug it off and keep producing great vids!
