Показать описание
In this video, I finally treat myself to an anti-wobble workbench. This thing is bombproof! Best of all, it's built on a budget using reclaimed wood. Carry on reading for the chapters and a full breakdown of costs.

COSTS
2 3x3 reclaimed pines posts @ £5 each = £10
2 25mm reclaimed plywood sheets @ £6 each = £12
Apx costs of glue and screws = £5
TOTAL PROJECT COST = £27 or $33

TIME
The frame itself (which is all you really need to get started) took around 2 hours. Cutting the plywood and fixing that in took around 4 hours. All in, This project took 6 hours. You could speed the process up with better tools but my biggest 'slowing factor' was my lack of space. All of this obviously doesn't take into account the 2 hours it took to drive and pick up the materials or buy fixings.

Now that's a workbench! I love using joinery that utilizes the wood itself for it's strength.

That's a workbench that even your wife should be proud of. Lol

I like the rustic finish, nice and solid and already looks like it’s had a lifetime in the workshop 😃👍

Nothing wrong with a bit of reclaimed wood 😂God bless track saws eh.... I've also got the evolution track. Super handy. Good work on your bench upgrade!

got to say, the weathered ply does have a certain charm to it.

making the workbench with a sacrificial top (so brackets but not glue) also has its benefits.

Really nice build mate! I love that you´re not being so fancy about it and it seems to have turned out super sturdy :)
I´m really going to enjoy watching how this channel will evolve, maybe it will even inspire me to get my thumb out of mi arse and get on with my own woodworking :D

Wait, did you say £6 for a sheet of thick ply? I'll give you a biscuit if you tell me where from!
