I made a sturdy leg frame for my workbench. It’s made from construction 2x4 studs. With all the mortise and tenon joints, it turned out to be strong and sturdy. No more wobbly bench!
I’m in the process of making my first workbench. Still trying to pick a flat, strong bench top. Stay tuned!
Thanks for watching, and happy making!

Nice video - I really like the Mortise and Tenons and love that you used inexpensive hand tools too!

Thank you! Me too! The joints are so strong when they’re tightly fitted. And the tools are cheap and can do a very good job for me!

GLUE SCREW AND BOLT Yea that joinery looks cool and it’s good for furniture but it’s weak. You know what’s not weak? GLUE SCREW AND BOLT!!! Glue screw and bolt. Much faster and stronger especially is you glue and bolt a little triangular piece to each corner. That’s how I made my wooden Armwrestling table. It doesn’t move or bend or flex ever and it’s been like that 5 years strong. In a humid garage all the time it should loosen a little bit… nope! I use it for sawing with my strong ass western push saws that don’t get dull real fast like those backwards double sided things you use.😂😂😂get a man’s saw and do it the right way. Glue! Screw! And Bolt!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I definitely want to try western saws in the future. Personally I believe in the strength of wood joints. I will add glue to the joints soon, and we’ll see its performance in the workbench. Your armwrestling table is very impressive. We have a wood frame supporting a wisteria tree in the yard. It was built using your method with screws, bolts, and some triangular pieces to support the corners. It’s very sturdy and has lasted for years. Thanks for your comment!
