How to Build a $100 Workbench in 4 Hours! E73

In this video I build a workbench that will last a lifetime for my workshop. It took me 4 hours over 2 days.

Here are links to my other social media accounts

Here is a link to Wranglerstar's Video where he uses all thread as clamps for his workbench build:

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.

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.

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!

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

[johnbaumgartner]

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 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!!

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.

[RafaelLopez-rowz]

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!!!😊👍

[wilzacj]

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.

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.

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

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.

[katiebikes]

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

[richardtilsed]

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

[ANTONIOcarpintero]

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.

[JoyconJames]

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.

[TheRussRave]

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.

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

[hiltonferraz]

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.
