Hello Sir Jumbly! I'm nearly 52 years old, and have been working with wood for a hobby and to repair things since I was a child. I've had my modest 16' x 24' shop for over 20 years, but reading your comment regarding Sande wood, I have only one thing to say: Today, I learned. I always assumed that was a typo. I have a saying that I tell people from time to time: "The day you stop learning is the day you start dying." Keep your head up and your eyes and ears open and you'll learn something every single day. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't start a comment here, but I'll say it anyway, HOT DOG!

Pro tip - bring a cart in from the parking lot. My home centers (Lowes and Home Depot both) are horrible about rounding them up and putting them back on the shopping floor. If you don't bring one in, you'll waste a bunch of time looking for one and probably end up heading out to the parking lot to find one. Doesn't happen always, but enough that I bring one in just in case. Same thing applies to garden shopping carts.

If you screw your pocket holes from the outside of the 90, your screw will have more wood to spread the force of any flex to. Screwing on the inside toward the edge reduces the amount of wood reinforcing your screw. Hope that is as clear as mud. Steve Ramsey and Matt Outlaw both have pretty good tutorials on pocket holes. Great video! Thanks for making a video for the new guys!

You said it well in this video about some channels having decked out shops and describing their methods with the expensive tool systems. I also enjoyed the fact that you used pocket holes for this bench. I just recently made an entire shelf wall for my living room using pocket holes. Definitely on the starter set of kreg jig at this point. I remember getting the comments from my FIL about them not being strong enough. I also get comments from him now on how well they turned out every time he visits. Definitely had my share of mistakes and goofs during that project. Thank you for showing the real side of the maker process.

Hot Dog 1st, loved the Ron Swanson clip, hilarious XD 2nd, I live in an apartment so I don't have any real exterior space to work with for cutting. But! I am on the terrace level so I've got the ground nearby. If I'm using a portable bench or something to elevate my wood should I be worried about making sure its level when I make cuts or is stable good enough? 3rd, I was lucky enough to inherit some good tools from my late grandfather who did carpentry as a hobby. One of those is a corded Stehl circular saw. Other than "range" is there any real disadvantage to a corded vs cordless?

You should have said that this was also sponsored by Kreg. You said at the beginning that this would only use two cheap tools. If you want a straight line you could have easily added a speed square. Also as a woodworker that is creative and has just started, you could have for example done a couple of cutoffs and made a straight edge or butt up against the wall and used that as a fence for the first cut and then used those cuts as guides for the rest of the project, your clamps are screws and so on. The main sponsor, "Letsgetchecked", has less air time than Kreg.

Although I'm not a fan of your video titles. Although this title is covered in the video, it is so brief that it could be considered insignificant. I would have used it as a secondary (parenthetical) title, with something like "Let's get your woodworking/carpentry started with a basic workbench!" or something like that. YMMV.

The bench turned out fine, but the first part of your video you say that you’re going to build it with two tools and two minutes later you are using your Kreg rip guide. Almost $50 it’s almost half the cost of a cheap drill and saw set. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good product and I like Kreg stuff. I just think you need to reword your intro.

Hotdog! Nice build. New to the sport, I appreciate your detail! If people don’t think it would be strong enough, maybe they don’t realize the strength of 3/4” plywood. I do like the idea of an over sized top though because I end up clamping down workpieces all the time, for jigsaw cuts, sanding, etc. I also like your design because later, you could cut down the legs to serve as an outfeed table.

Hot Dog! Eric... I love this video. 2 things you nailed... 1. You do not need a lot to make things 2. We all make mistakes. I started with a very similar situation as you. I was in the USCG and living in Portland Oregon. We had an outdoort closet and it needed shelves and we could not screw anything into the walls of the closet. So using only a hand saw, drill and screws... I built a 4 shelf unit with 2 x 2s and Plywood. The shelves held the posts into the corners and braces ont the posts held the shelves up. I loved by creative solution... That was more then 25 years ago. I now have a woodshop full of tools... Watching your video brings me back to that time. Your instruction is excellent and ability to build a community is inpriational. Keep up the great work and I will be continuing to follow you! John Hall

Hot dog. When I had my shop, I actually built my bench and table router in a similar fashion using 2x4s and MDF board. I started with an M18 drill/driver kit and a DeWalt jobsite table saw (both bought on sale) and went to town. I knew there would be a possibility of losing that shop which I did, so when I had to pack up my shop into storage, I left the bench and router table behind, as I was less than $75 in materials for them. Also I recommend Harbor Freights tool stands when they're on sale. I got a bunch of them so I never had to use any tools on the floor.

Wow!... and "HOT DOG"... You had me glued (no pun intended, or if you prefer, pocket-holed) to your video and laughing at the same time. There are so many things going on at different levels in your video: Woodworking and Testosterone Testing, all at the same time! Who could imagine such a ground breaking thing! Then your easy delivery and presentation with its subtle humor. And last but not least, your workspace. Seriously, though, and speaking of being glued, I noticed you didn't glue any pieces together even though you used pocket holes, so was there any reason you didn't use glue, was it to save costs? (And I can see keeping glue off the top piece would make it easier to replace the top if desired.) Also, and this is something that immediately caught my mind's eye (it has one eye I've learned): You built what looks like a very solid and sturdy worktable out of a single sheet of plywood which is terrific and amazingly efficient. Now I haven't looked at the dimensions yet, but I was a bit nervous about saw KERF. I was thinking that not accounting for the saw blade KERF can throw off the dimensions by the same amount (the KERF amount)... So I was just wondering, did you take into account saw KERF with the dimensions (see my UPDATE below) ? But as that famous Popiel's Pocket Fisherman's commercial would say, "But wait... There's more!", I noticed your work-space was rather constrained... but still functional... Looks like the size of a small garage... So can you elaborate on how you put your workspace together and what's in it (perhaps you have a video on that) ? Overall, I am impressed and entertained by your video and think the project is great! I look forward to your other videos as well. Thanks for the great video and entertainment all at the same time. UPDATE: I reviewed your plans and yes indeed, there is sufficient scrap space for blade KERF (using as much as a 1/8" KERF) as long as cuts are accurate to your dimensions. A very efficient use of an 8 x 4 sheet of plywood, I must say! Great Project ! Great Video and impressive skill with woodworking and the video!

I've seen a bunch of videos, and channels where they're building something that seems within reach, but then you find out they are using tools way outside one's budget. With the current wood prices being as expensive as they are, people can't afford to just go out, and buy the stuff if they screw something up, or want to start a project. I bought a 4X8X 3/4 sheet of MDF to be made into a desktop, and at the time it was $30. Now that same sheet is almost double the price. It seems absurd, but when prices are too high it enforces a certain reluctance to wanting to make things, and that sucks. Hopefully prices will come back to sane levels again.

Hot Dog, That is a great design for a bench or work table. Very stable and easy to make. I've been using that basic design for 25 + years. Some times when I want to beef it up using 2 x 6's for the legs, 2 x 4's for the top and a full 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. Add casters for a mobile assembly table. Great video for the new wood worker. Thanks for doing it.

Hot dog! I love the bench. I built something similar, but with just a little more functionality. I made it so that I could separate the bench in half to be two smaller benches of the exact same height but when stacked on top of each other, they become a small outfeed table for my table saw. I also have a semi-permanent place to put smaller tools as the lower bench now functions as a shelf. When they are separated, they make a nice stand for larger projects such as an arcade cabinet I built for a friend. I didn't have to work down on the floor, but I also didn't have to reach up so high with the project on a standard bench. They also give a larger work area for things like re-painting a garden bench I refurbished a couple years ago. I'd really like to see what you would do to design and build something like this because I'm always interested in seeing how other people overcome the same challenges.

Double laminated melamine high density board is a great top for a beginner work bench because it's true. But my favorite thing is taking a sheet of acrylic to make a nice finish work bench. You can hot glue things down and will not rip the acrylic off it's nice and smooth. Nice for building face frames.

Hot dog: I have an even rougher garage floor, basically pebbled concrete. I have a similar size of garage as you. I am having a tough time making things (like a workbench or assembly table) flat and square when I have no flat or square reference surface to start from. I saw you just put a sheet of plywood down to work off of, but even that can follow contours of the floor. Any tips? Also, with wheels and this pebbled concrete, I think any time I love my workbench or cart around, it will force the top to be out of square with the frame. Any tips?

Hotdog. I've seen a few woodworking videos and this is the first one so far that shows the actual minimum tools with the brutal honesty of mistakes. Thank you for showing that mistakes, while inevitable, don't have to kill a project. I like that you provided upgrade options beyond the basic butt joint. @Spencley Design Co. Have you considered using this as a basis for a new beginner series? By this I mean something that shows the versatility of what a drill and a saw can do with the newly created worktable and perhaps a special guest tool for the next thing to add if the new worker wants to expand. I think you could develop into this niche that seems so vacant here.

Hot Dog - This is extremely similar to the first workbench I ever built (although I used 2x4's for the legs). Another good tip for making long straight cuts with the circular saw is to mark one of the long factory edges on the piece of plywood when you buy it. Then freehand rip that edge off trying to keep the circular saw cutas straight as possible. This will give you an 8ft long straightedge that you can clamp to the plywood to make the rest of the cuts, just make sure you are running the circular saw against the factory edge and it will make extremely straight cuts. I still use this to break down full sheets that are too big to fit into the table saw.

Built two of these last weekend. It is quite easy, though I will admit the second turned out much better. Locking down the wood before securing the pocket hole screw is important.

I have basically the same "truck" and can totally get a sheet of plywood home uncut. Modern vehicle marketing likes to pretend you need tons of dedicated space for every purpose, and you should pay tens of thousands of dollars to be ready for every possibly. But it turns out there's tons of space on the roof. You can tie on directly through the doors using foam or a blanket to protect your paint. Or, what I did, is invest $500ish in a roof rack. Gives exterior tie-on points and a flatish surface, and I'd be more confident if I needed to take the car on the highway (I haven't taken wood out of town, but do routinely take bikes or the canoe). I also got my table saw home this way.

Hot Dog. I started out as a carpenter in the 70's with basic hand tools in a tool belt and an air compressor in the back seat, a trunk packed to the gills with routers, circular saws, jig saws, drills etc. and a couple hundred feet of extension cord in my 68 Chevelle Malibu going from site to site hustling work. I now have a bunch of antique tools like 1947 a Shop Smith(lathe) a radial arm saw, job site table saw and a boatload of Makita battery tools. Creativity is the key to woodworking and Making. Don't buy something because you see it, buy it because you NEED it. Nothing is perfect and we need to understand the process will never be perfect. The sign of a creator is how to fix mistakes and move on.

I built a pair of patio chairs in the balcony of my apartment with only a miter box, a circular saw and a drill. 13 years later and I still get compliments on those chairs because of their unique look. I now have lots and lots of tools (even though woodworking is just a hobby for me). You don't have to spend a lot for decent tools, and you can find some great deals on used tools. (I bought a planer normally worth $600 for only $200 because the guy selling it couldn't use it anymore (advanced cancer) he had only used it once!. I got some other tools on sale while at the big box store, I didn't necessarily needed that tool that day, but I knew a good deal and I didn't let it pass by, I ended up using those tools a lot. My tool collection grew over the years but I never spend too much at a time yet have enough to start a business if I wanted to. Finally when I was looking for my forever home, one of my requirements was to have a space (or space to build at least a two car garage size shop). that and of course a regular 2 or three car garage for all the vehicles and motorcycles I own, and finally a dedicated room for drums and guitars. The rest was my wife's list (big kitchen, 4 or 5 bedrooms, a pool). We got lucky and found just the place. so it checks all of our requirements, but I am still working full time in the military 2 years before retirement, and I will still have to work after because military retirement is not enough to survive. but just going on the premise of this video, I started with nothing and made great things out very little, if I can do it so can everyone else.

Hotdog ~ Thank you for this video, I used it to make my nice new work bench. It lives on my decking with a plastic sheet over it as I haven't got a garage. I was using an old dinning chair or the floor. Thank you for the tip about splashing out on a more expensive sheet of ply, I got marine ply which resists the damp🤞. It's a shame that I saw this video after I had already built my garden cupboard, which wobbles 🫤 My nice flat work bench is going to be a game changer 🙂

HOT DOG... Thank you for the tips and sharing the whole process. I got one of those Kreg's Rip Cut thingy, but wasn't sure how to use it securely because I do not have a High end Circular saw. Now that I have seen how you used it, I will give a go. Although I won't be able to do on the floor, due to my disabilities, but I am pretty much sure I will be able to achieve the same result by setting on my portable work bench. so, thank you my brother...

Hotdog! You really worried me when you jumped onto the bench! That was a considerable wobble. If I were building it I would have also glued every joint that you screwed. I'd just consider the pocket screws to be like clamps. In fact, I built Steve Ramsey's BMW bench using doubled 2x4's for the legs with half-lap joints, and only used glue; not one screw or nail. It's really sturdy.

Hot dog! Nice video, and good advice for those just getting started. Gluing the pieces as you screwed them together would have given more rigidity, but I still liked watching the build. I usually use 2x4's when cutting on the floor, the foam is a great idea. Good luck on your goal to do this full time:)

Hotdog I liked your video. Plywood has a very high weight to strength ratio it need not be heavy to be strong. So this bench may slide around or give ground if pushed. Some built-in drawers and blocks of 3/4" plywood to sister under the spots where downward forces are only held up by screws. Walla starter work bench. I think the single most attractive thing about this design after the economy is simplicity. A woodworking bench is personal and never done and ever evolving. Good start is a plane pallet. Those who use this design in the proportions you layout with pocket hole can even do easy alterations. Nice, good advice.

This does read like a Kreg ad but he’s right. I bought the 520 pocket hole jig and I use 3/4” plywood and it is crazy strong. I do add glue to each of the joints. I repurposed an incredibly heavy duty work table by replacing the “just short enough to break your lower back in five minutes or less” steel legs with “4 inch taller legs that make working an absolute joy to my lower back” table. I used legs just like these. I am starting to think like him about cutting the plywood in the parking lot. I went to 3 different Lowes yesterday to find a store with a running panel saw. I see a cordless circular saw in my immediate future.
