Visual for "where I'm at" is very helpful. Haven't seen that very often in videos.

That was a stroke of genius clamping your speed square to the top frame to line your legs up. Brilliant 👍👍

Finally a sturdy and easy DIY bench that DOESNT require a planer. Too many of these "Beginner" diy workbenches the first step is planing all your 2x4's to have perfect edges. You did a great job and made a great bench for those of us who only have a circular saw and drills.

POV: By now you've watched around 50 videos of how to build a work bench, yet you're still sitting here and wondering how the hell you're gonna do it owning only a drill and a hand saw + 10 dollars on your bank account.

Well, my complements on being fit enough to make the “jump”.
Your production values on the video are excellent. This one is a must view for anyone building a workbench.
Thanks Glen.

Thank you a million times for this. I built mine in 12hours this passed weekend for under app bucks. No tool cubby or tracks but I will be adding a moxen vice from a kit. So I got the man design from here and did it myself. Not easy being disabled but I am proud of this bench. Thanks for the guidance man.

[kosta]

Amazing video. I followed your guidance step by step with some minor size adjustments and I’m literally proud of the results. Thanks a lot!

"I'll have 7 of the 8 boards screwed when only 4 was required" hahaha yeah same man. That where I'm at is a really sweet addition to your videos!

[dennissmith]

Wow! Really appreciate how you can pack so many clear intelligent and common sense design and construction suggestions, tips and design elements into your short well designed videos. Thanks much.

Patriot DIY also added T-Track to the top of his table build. I think I will it on the end and top! Thanks for the video!

Back in my day junior high we had wood, metal and ceramic shops .. I am so sorry I did not spend the time then that I should have in the wood shop.. after watching you put together your projects is pure inspiration!!

[Ceagon]

First time watching your stuff; as soon as I saw the "where I'm at" model in the top right, it was sub at first sight.

[thetacoker]

Your feed is so what I was looking for. Detailed instructions, in which I applaud. Since I am a female and more than 60 yrs, I need details on an awesome incoming enhancement to my paradise workshop. Cheers!

Subscribed BECAUSE you get to the point, and while you narrate all the way through, the information you verbalize is clear, concise, and not annoyingly redundant as with other youtubers. You actually inspire. You would have made an excellent teacher, well, hell, you ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! I've tried watching other dudes instruct on how to build a work table, but I mostly cannot get through their rambling presentations as they either have no clue how to communicate, or they are maddenly hyperbolic to distraction. Your design is well thought out, your execution is precise and skillful, and it's gratifying to watch you add various touches and incorporate practical features. I watched til the end because you made it interesting.

There are so many things I love about this video. Scripted, No blabbing on and on, well organized, diagram shows where you are, great ideas and tricks, tasteful non-destracting music. All this = subscribed!

[rassmith]

Really love how you describe the pitfalls and show little tips with humility. The graphics in the top right are an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing.

[tonyalways]

There are always loads of things I love about your videos one of which is that everything you use and everything you make is sparkly clean: not sure our kitchen is as clean as your shop!!! In this video I absolutely love the end vice. It’s a great modern twist on a Moxon vise and a really clever idea. Cheers for sharing more great tips. 👍🏻

I have watched a bunch of these workbench builds on YouTube and this is BY FAR the best one....1. It is the best construction. 2. It is simple. 3. It is laid out and EXPLAINED incredibly well done. Thank you very much!!! I have an order to build 16 tables just like this only 30 inches wide and 8 ft long for a clothing company at an outlet mall. I will do it just like this. I also love your beautiful chop saw layout, clean and efficient...doesn't look ANYTHING like my workshop....lol

[bec]

I've just found this channel and have to say thank you - you think practical and smart, not expensive! I CAN build a few things I want with the tools we have, rather than one of everything in a tool shop.

[ellieboa]

love it! the speed square for installing the legs was really clever!
