How to Build a Workbench. Build this Cheap, Sturdy Workbench for your Garage. A workbench is a must for your garage or shed. When it comes to building a workbench l needed to satisfy three criteria. The workbench was required to be tough, cheap to build (second hand or reclaimed materials are fine. It doesn't have to look pretty as pretty soon it is going to be trashed) and sturdy enough to take a beating without falling to bits.

Nice one Shane. A great, study workbench with really clear instructions. I made it pretty much like the video. I did use 30mm ply for the top which makes it a little more solid but also allowed me to screw it from below through the frame with 100mm screws (also recessed 15mm or so into the frame so the screws ran about 25mm into the ply) so that I didn't have screw heads showing / interrupting the smooth surface of the work top. Turned out really well. Thanks very much for all the ideas, Shane.

TIP: When using wood screws to join two pieces of wood together. Drill the pilot-hole in one piece of wood a tad wider than the diameter of the screw, so that it slides right through. Now offer up the second piece behind the first and clamp them together. The screw will pull that second piece of wood really tight ...no real need for glue. This works well with both hard and soft wood.

Very nice and strong........ HOWEVER... You should never glue the top down to the frame. Screws are more than enough to hold that top down. If you ever need to replace that top because of damage or spills or whatever the case may be it will be much easier to remove it just by removing the screws. It would be a fiasco to remove it if it's glued down.

I know you're just joking but in case someone else actually does have this concern, one of the first fun things to make for a new wood-working hobbyist is a pair of saw horses! Along with some kind of plyboard table top, that can serve as a temp (or maybe semi-permanent) work station for a while till you get your own table like this one, made up!

Good build. Nice job. Did a similar joint on my wife's foot when it fell off her wooden leg, bolted it as well.. 'Arr! t' be sure'. Anyhoo! great video

Loved this construction. I fixed on each corner lockable castors. This makes it easier for me to move the bench to other locations if needed.

I've watched many YT videos about building different workbenches, but this is the design I always go to. Strong, cheap, and easy to build. I've just modified the design for my needs. The core design stays the same. Cheers!

I love how at the end he made little playful scenes on the bench and showed this own stuff on it. This bench is awesome and I’ll definitely try to build it but maybe a little shorter, but thanks for the great design!

Well Uncle Knacker, I am back to revisit this Awesome Video. Becoming entirely tired of the builder who constructs benches utilizing butt joints relying on screws or bolts to bear the weight of the boards. I built my first ever workbench a few years ago at my old apartment I. Biddeford, Maine. I have once again moved, requiring me to build another workbench. The joinery utilized here is phenomenally strong. I also intend to 3 May 2018, to build and overhead bin storage area atop the workbench. Thanks so much again, for posting this video. These joints are ridiculously strong. Lee From Norway,Maine.

Hi Lee, thanks for coming back to revisit the video! Yeah it's pretty good workbench. Mine is still going strong and l love it. Good luck with yours and with the overhead bin. I'm sure it will turn out great! Have a good one mate 👍😁

love this idea, about to start work on my "man cave" so this will be the first build. Also gives me a good place to store my tools. With the trim you did, I'm going to raise it 6mm higher and rout the edge (for aesthetics/comfort) which will then allow me to 'drop in' a sheet of 6mm ply which I can easily replace after time if it gets worn. Awesome workbench though, the joints look perfect for strength
