2019: This is $101.76 of material. This is 25 2x4s and 2 4x4s. 2021: This is $101.76 of material. This is a single 2x4.

I love the way your son just stood all quite watching his dad. I can tell he looks up to you. What a blessing. Nice to include the Kids as you did. Nice workbench also.

Got all my wood, now I just need to get a table saw, wood planar, pocket hole rig and a set of drill bits 😭😭

The real lesson to be learned here is that dad is spending time with his kids and teaching them how to build stuff with their own hands. Good job dad!

Absolutely great...unfortunately I don't have a workshop with thousands of dollars in equipment like you have.

I'll tell ya, I'm most impressed that your young daughter and son were involved and watching. Very cool to see. Especially the way things are nowadays with young people and their obsession with internet and social media. Good dad and great table.

I built a work bench similar to this 30 years ago. Had a bunch of junk 2x4 used lumber that I used. One suggestion would be to put 1/4" plywood on top of the 2x4 top. That way when it gets in bad shape just remove the top 1/4" and put a new piece on and you have a new top!!

Best part of this is your son soaking in all that his dad knows, so glad to see you involve him, it will shape him forever. Well done bench.

Not so easy without a professional wood shop.

I'm a teacher. Your kids were just standing around. It looked like they wanted to help. Next time, get them more involved! Great video and bench!!!😊👍

I know someone already mentioned this but can't help but to comment on it as well. I really appreciate that your kids are able to get involved with what you were building and helping Dad. They obviously enjoy being with you and helping instead of playing video games. Hats off to you for including your kids and teaching them how to work with their hands and building things. We need a lot more of that!

I just finished making your workbench & it looks great. I watched your video about 10-20 times, bought Planer, pipe clamps, Armor Auto Jig, etc. I'm very happy with the table & excited to get my garage wood shop up & running. I just need to attach the top to the legs (& I paused the video at 7:40 to see the Armor Auto Jig holes on the long end of the side stretchers). Thanks again for the video. VERY helpful. And fun project to do.

pretty good see your family work together and help you. I have 2 kids (3 and 8 years old) and is impossible to work without them.

Build a $100 workbench. Step 1, buy $300 worth of clamps. Step 2, buy a $500 planer...

Great job with your kids, when your old like I am you will think back and those memories are absolutely priceless !

I really enjoyed watching this video and seeing this sturdy workbench come together. Hell of a lot cheaper than anything you can buy from a manufacturer, probably stronger too! And it’s literally the exact size that you wanted. The perks of doing it yourself!!

Awww... my dad is from south-eastern Kansas and always said twobuhfours. All one word... Thanks for that memory! Great video!

To see your kids taking such a interest was amazing God bless lol good job on the bench too

Great build, I loved that your kids watched on in total awe of their dad😊 As for the smart arses that are jealous of your workshop, if they can’t think of an alternative means of achieving the desired outcome they probably shouldn’t be left alone with tools. I have some tools but not a thicknesser, however, I know I can come up with an alternative method that will yield the desired result. A great project and one I will be considering for my secondary layout bench as it isn’t too expensive and will be fun to build.

Production value of the video is really good. Enjoyable to watch. And it was interesting to see how you made this workbench by making a table by lining up 2x4's together in that way. Super sturdy and heavy table. Awesome.

Great video, how did you attach the top to the legs? Angle brackets, or pocket holes/screws?

Shared with 15,000 on Facebook. Great quality, money saving tool/

I really enjoyed watching this video and the high quality build on a budget. Thanks!!!

That workbench is what I’m looking for and it is in my budget. Thanks for ur time.

That's a beautiful work bench. I'm building my own this weekend. It won't be as nice as yours. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoy and learned watching your video. Im planning to build a small woodworking table(48"×24") with scrap. I only have a electric sander to make it flat. But watching your video motivate me to do it.

Nicely done, great having your kids helping out.

Mate the UK salutes you. I'm a junior carpenter and I'm 5ft 10 to so really useful watching this video thanks so much man

You're making great memories with your helper there. Well done.

Ratchet straps work great for clamps too

Excellent video. I’ve seen a lot of these and this is the best one

Virtual high five fr getting your kid in the shop with you! Good job Dad!

Oh my goodness, the way your son is looking at you when the video starts. So precious.

Very nice little table and explained simple and easy to follow! Thanks

Excellent execution and very well explained. look forward to more

Your son is such a student, very attentive. Brilliant!

I really like your workbench. It’s going to be my next future project. It looks great and is built really stout. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍

Clear to see that you boy looks up to you and is so proud of his dad. Destined for woodworking mastery just like his dad! Time will fly and one day you'll look back and treasure this video.

I'm gonna build this very bench. Thank you for the education.

That’s a great looking workbench! Now I want to build one for my garage.

Just made my first workbench. I did things slightly different than you did. I brad nailed the shelf to the bottom stretchers and had to make 4x4's since the local box store had only 2x4's. Limber right now is crazy priced... it was almost 6$ per 2x4 (8'). Work bench turned out great. Next is a miter saw table then a rolling tool cart/bench for my router. Thanks man, for making it seem as easy as it is.

You built yourself a very sturdy workbench. Great job there partner👍.

Loved seeing your kids hang out with you during the video.

Nice bench! I'll have to keep this one in mind. Regarding the vice (note: this was on a steel bench) someone modified a trailer hitch and mounted the vice to the part of the hitch that would have the ball. This made the vice more versatile and gave him the ability to move it off the bench so it wasn't always in the way. Can't remember the name of the channel but the video had to do with garage organization.

What a lucky boy you have, learning from the master, Thank you

Apparently I missed the part about how you attached the top to the base. Was that where the pocket screws came in?

Hey maybe I missed it but I watched twice and still don't know how you attached the top to the legs

One of the easiest builds on KZfaq thanks

Great job man ! what a beautiful work bench that will last forever !

Great video brother. I’m going to attempt this build today!! Wish me luck!

Good representation and great crafmanship ,I review others your was the best

Subscribed. Great video and workmanship. Cool little helpers too. Thank you for sharing.

excellent bench; this turned out very well. Best wishes

I'm super stoked about having the Armor Tooll jig to aid in the making of my workbench now. (Much credit and thanks to your assurance that it would handle half inch material fine right out of the box) and I can't thank you enough. It's everything you said it was. 👍🏿 And the workbench build is awesome as well. PS. Your videos are awesome and as long as you're being you there's zero chance of getting it wrong. You could post that water's wet and someone somewhere will challenge the fact. Keep making your great videos and sawdust good buddy.

You have some GREAT shop assistants! :)

This bench is perfect for my needs. I bought the wood and just started building it! Only thing I don't have is a dado stack for my cheapo table saw. I'm also going to add workbench casters so I can move it. Thanks for sharing this build!

I want to make this so bad. Wish I had all the equipment lol. This is a wonderful project.

Thanks for the video! One suggestion not really wood related, and maybe you already do this, but saw your kid in there during the glue up, it's always a good idea to involve kids in things they could help to engage their learning, and as further bonding experience. You probably already do this, but if not, think about it next time and let your kid help apply glue or hold things. I had this experience with my dad, and it helped me learn a lot, now I do a lot more diy than he does :)

Beautiful workshop and game room.

mannnn! for a bill you cant go wrong and it looks great, nice job brother

i need a planer. turned out great man ! very nice looking table.

Very informative! Thank You.

I'm only 19 years old, but seeing your kids being interested in your work is something I don't see a lot of these days and something I'd sure appreciate out of my children in the future. Makes me feel like my 10 y.o. brother needs to get off Fortnite once in a while and learn something!!

That was really great, thanks for sharing

Great video. You have to be brave to post a video that doesn't document EVERY step or has been approved by a dozen critics. Having said that, I think there were a couple good suggestions/clarifications made. Good job!

Awesome craftsmanship..!

Good build. Looks like an ol’ Husky 55 hanging on the wall in the background.

Great job man!!! I’m gonna build it👍🏻

Pretty good seeing an Ale-8 make an appearance during the shoot.

Beautiful 👍🏽 I’m gunna make one thanks.

best workbench build vid i've seen so far

I love that the kids are participating, learning trade skills.

Nicely done Wes!

Nice job on your work bench. Money well spent!

Nice project that was explained well.

Awesome workbench thank you

Nice Job , Most of us do not have a planer or jointer I have Made similar with 2x6 for table top and 2x4 legs , without the glue 2x6 lay flat not on edge my legs are made up of 2x4 One 36 inch and 2 at 16-1/4 so the bottom shelf can rest on the 2x4 stringer 3 inch x 3-1/2 legs no cutting a slot in a 4x4 The two front legs, screw the first 16-1/4 to the 36 inch add the 8 foot stinger , screw the next 16-1/4 over the stringer , Same for the Back legs , On the inside top of the legs , under the table top flush I add a stinger to fasten the top to . I also use cross members every 16 inch between the stingers . all done with a skill saw and drill . I do more Auto repair so a clean finish is not important I know it will get deep scratch and dents . Thanks for the video im always looking at new idea for improvements

Fantastic work

Great job love the family projects

Great video thanks for sharing. How did you attach the top to the frame. I assumed it was pocket holes but thought I’d ask.

Great video and great kids. Would love for you to post a ROUGH sketch of the parts and dimensions. I will have to draft that myself, and happy to, but yours would be available to everyone.

Your shop space is great

This is a great tutorial - thank your for posting it. However you might want to change the title to: How to Build a $100 Workbench in 4 Hours if you have a nice shop and thousands of dollars in power tools!"

this is the shit I want to do someday... for me ur living the dream man... keep goin... u have 2 adorable children and a real nice workshop, what do need more in life?

Very simple, but TERRIFIC JOB! Thank you so much!

Great video perfect for me...would you do this with pressure treated wood? And it's cool to have a helper with you that's important!

That boy is going to be a really good and knowledgeable carpenter when he grows up.

Looking good! Thanks!...

fantastic work :)

You have earned yourself a subscriber Sir. Great job.

10:35 I am in the process of making my bench and yours is the inspiration behind it. How did you attach the legs to the bench top? Thanks

You need a work bench to make a work bench! 😱

Nice work!

I see people all the time critical of this kind of video because they don't have all the pro tools. If you want a cheap workbench, just use the tools you already have. For example, cut the rounded edges off the 2x4s with a circular saw and a straight edge, that way when you glue them together the surface will be as near flat as you can get it, and you can finish it off with a hand plane. Great video, thanks!

great idea for a work bench, only thing I would change would be to a wooden clamp on one end, don't know if you have a video on how to do that but would be great to see!

Great video, thank you. How did you attach the top to the frame? I couldn't figure that one out.

I'm just starting my woodworking journey and have watched countless videos about how to build my workbench and this is by far the most useful video I've seen so far, so thank very much! I've added a some questions to a few of the comments below so hopefully your subscribers can help me out! What kind of wood did you use? Also, if I buy treated wood from the merchant, does this stop me needing to put it through a planer? (I don't have one yet!). Again, thanks for the video I'm excited to get started on this one (once I know what the hell I'm doing!) :)

Nice and simple …. Greetings from Norway

Great video. Can you post a list supples. What did you use to coat the bench? Which glue did you use?

Hi from Australia... Great video mate... Your kid is the spitting image of you (Dad) I can see you guys have a great relationship. I'm kinda jealous... Can you be my Dad too...lol..
