Nice build. For anyone who wants to use construction lumber if you are going to go through the trouble of ripping the boards anyway, it is a good idea to buy 2x10s and rip them to size because they generally are much higher quality boards. If you want to build up your clamp collection with minimal investment get some pipe clamps. 1/2” or 3/4” and just buy different lengths of pipe. They are incredibly strong and require very little investment compared to F style, parallel etc.
It's also good to warn people, that while you can rip bigger stock down, it could also have stress that makes it bind on your saw. Kickback from that would be no joke and beginners might not have the safety equipment / forethought to be safe. I'm just extra conscious right now as I'm travelling and working on an old table saw with no riving knife.
I used your idea to build my first workbench, it has the out feed similar to your design, I spent almost nothing 95 % of the wood used came from pallets, got lucky and found one that had 11 2x4s added to it for some special purpose. The 2x4s were straight and in excellent condition. Used pocket screws for most of the joints. Had a few 4x4s from other pallets that were used for the corners. The shelf under the saw was also from a pallet. The only thing I spent money on were the locking casters and the out feed table top. It being my first workbench made me feel pretty good. And it makes using the table saw so much easier. Thank you for the plans and inspiration. All the pallets I use are heat treated.
So I made nearly the identical table about 3-4 years ago. I was working out of a small shop and space was everything. I made mine (again, nearly identical) but low enough to slide under my workbench for out of the way storage. The miter storage deck was on slides so I could slide it out for easier lifting and where you put your compressor, I made a small bin for blades. I did learn to build a shield for the miter area as the table saw did coat everything in dust. I still use it to this day, one of my best and most used things I've built.
Love that you made this to have your table saw mounted permanently. I think it would work perfectly with an additional table that has the same dimensions but without the table saw shelf on it. This would allow you to have an outfeed table as well as doubling as more work space.
I'm pretty sure the melamine is indeed heavier. I made a sheet goods cutting table that breaks down and stores in very little space, it keeps the saw horses from falling over.
Use pipe clamps. You can change their length by changing the pipe screwed into the clamp ends and the pipe is relatively inexpensive. Bessey H style pipe clamps are designed for this purpose. If you need a 18" clamp or a 4 foot clamp, you just change the pipe piece or put a coupler between the pipes to extend it to whatever length you need
Nice project. BTW, lots of other people make those quick flip bits; (Dewalt, Kobalt, etc) They're cheap enough that I keep a drawer in the shop with like 5 of them, each setup for a specific screw (I tend to use Kreg and Spax, so 90% of what I'll ever do is square drive, and T15, 20 & 25) with the correct drill bit for the pilot hole, and the driver. Makes life super simple.
Congratulations, you made the heaviest "mobile" workbench ever. Seriously though, nice project. I'm going to make something similar but much lighter for transporting and with an extendable end for a longer out feed.
Hi from One Handed Maker A new workbench is a thing of beauty and your design is great. I have subscribed and will be watching more of your content. Regards James One Handed Maker 1 🤚 🔨
5:53 nice! I definitely do NOT like those types of casters. More specifically, my toes do not like those types of casters. Lol. Seriously though, I make my own adjustable casters since the ones like you have, and the type with the geared tooth disc just do not offer much clearance. If there's a washer on the ground, it might as well be the Andes mountain range. Lol.
I built one very similar to match my wall-mounted miter saw table, using melamine and oak trim. I love the look and will use it on every station in my shop. 5/8th Melamine is very cheap here and looks great with the oak trim. What kind of saw blade do you use to help keep it from chipping?
I would recommend that you flip the power strip over so that the plug is upside down. Just in case if the plug comes partly loose and a nail happens to land just right…. But if you have the ground on the top, it will make it difficult for a short to occur
never seen anyone square up those 2x4s, i wish i had seen this video 1 week earlier since i would have done the same thing when i build my first work table. those wheels are great too.
Very nice build. One thing I would've done different is use a replaceable hardboard sheet (masonite) instead of the melamine... but regardless, it's a great project
I built a very similar table about 3 years ago including casters and power strip. I think it is wider than yours and maybe a bit longer. I bought half a sheet of plywood for the top and I was going to trim it down but ended up leaving it a bit oversize. It hangs off about 3" on the side away from the wall and the end, and hangs over farther on the side against the wall. I figured I could always cut it down farther if it turned out to be too big but you can't have too much flat surface when you are working.
Yes, I agree on never having to much work space! Sadly I’m limited in square footage so I had to make it compact enough that I can walk around it when it’s in the middle of my garage. I will definitely build a bigger one in the future though
I always leave at least 2” overhang so I have somewhere to clamp to. Allows me to use shorter clamps for most things and save the longer ones where really needed. I need more clamps but then you never really have enough. The more you have the more projects you can be doing simultaneously. I’m always waiting for glue ups to dry so I can use those clamps for something else. Lol.
Really love this workbench and out feed table! Subbed on this vid! I’m designing one for my shop as we speak and this gave me some ideas. Thanks for this!
That's amazing man! Great job on the bench. I wanted to build a work bench just like this but I got lazy and settled on the Harbor Freight wood workbench. Thanks for the informative video.
really love this design out of all the ones out there this one seems the most approachable to me and best to suit my needs. do you happen to have a cut list available for this looking to start building it as soon as possible.
Ok, this would technically be my first project and I have the DeWalt 8 1/4 saw is the any way that you be able to provide a cut list if not I completely understand
Building this bench as we speak and I'm fairly certain your cut list is short by a 60" piece, as well as a 20.5" (actually 20") piece. I built the open side using one 60 inch piece as the bottom rail, and the other side required 2 60 inch sections. I'm counting 4x 20 inch pieces in the video as well boxing out the inside of the top work surfaces.
Enjoyed the video, I'm having to give up my shop because of a move, but hope to another in the future. You missed a sales point by not having the equipment you used listed along with the tools used in your description with links. I had to go to the spreadsheet to find those items. I have been looking for removable table casters like the ones you used. Do you get an affiliate payout for recommending those. If I'm going to purchase them, I would like you to get some earnings off the purchase. Nice, neat, sturdy design!!!!
great video! im going to build this for my small basement shop. I have the DWE7485 however i think its a newer model? it doesn't have adjustable feet. did yours come with adjustable feet to make the saw table top match the height of the outfeed table?
Very nice, thank-you! I am building this., I want it to house my Dewalt planer aswell on the other side Are your 2x4x8’ or? In your cut list it says 2x4 but it doesn’t say how long they are
Hey James, inspiring and a nice result. I picked up on how you used fusion 365 for the project. Any advice for someone that wants to also learn the program? I see theres a free version. Did you have prior autocad experience? I did a basic college module a few years back.
I started with the free version to get familiar with the program before I purchased the personal license. I did have some auto cad knowledge prior which definitely carried over. Honestly there are so many comprehensive videos and forums you can learn from you should have no problem getting off the ground with it!
Hi James; I am going to give your bench a go. When looking at it, if i understand your plans you have blocks of wood 17" for the depth (Front to back) in your video it looks a lot wider. I know you have frame to ad onto that but even then it looks like its deeper that. Am i wrong? Thxs
Honestly, I made some modifications to the design during the build and added a few additional pieces. The material list is still accurate but if you build it per the plans and following the video you can definitely develop your own cut list very easily!
@@jamesofalltradesny thanks. Been stalling on making my own work bench due to lack of knowledge on table tops. Currently working off of a desk which does fine for my current small projects but, wont cut it if/when I expand what I am working on.
Really like this design. I was thinking about getting one of the stands that flips and rolls, but I rarely have someone to hold the wood on the other side. My brain is clicking away now.
darn, yea mine didn't. How did you end up mounting the saw on the slippery melamine? I built based on your plans this weekend. thanks for resourcing us with this! @@jamesofalltradesny
Every day, as you wake up, eat, read a book, take a nap, talk to friends, go to Mass, sing in the bath, sweep up sawdust, plant a garden, design projects, purchase lumber, gather tools, measure and mark for cutting, are collectively referred to as "pre-"drilling.

I want to build a workbench similar to yours but with slightly different dimensions; 30 1/2" H X 34" W X 8' L. Would it be hard to modify yours? Keeping in mind I only a table saw a miter saw a jig saw and a circular saw.
Super easy, link is below with drawings and purchase list. I am actually developing a cut list for someone else and I will add it to the description tomorrow
While I DO love all this "mobile workbenches" I myself kind of hate them too!! Hear me out here..... I don't technically OWN an actually workshop and my space is limited to either a cramped 8 foot by 8 foot area in my storage shed at any given time, OR the yard directly in front of my shed, which doubles as my "work shop" most days!! THIS means, FIRST, that the weather has to be ideal for me to do ANY work at all! SECONDLY I don't have a concrete floor where casters would work, and THIRDLY any kind of workbench I make has to fold down to a very small footprint to be stored inside my shed when not in use!! Another problem I have is that I don't always have a permanent mounting solution for any of my larger tools, because I am always swapping out what tools I need to use, WHEN the need arises!! A fifth problem I have is having to have tools like my miter saw and my table saw, which both have their own stands, takes up space I don't have, leaving me zero space for a band saw and stand or my bench style drill press taking up space on my only workbench!!! Like I say I actually LOVE your design.....but for me it is totally worthless, as I don't have the space or floor system to support it!! Those casters would be worthless in my yard on grass. and I am getting too old and too tired of lugging my tools in and out of my workshop to the yard and back when I am done using them!!
Thanks for the design and cut list, it is actually missing one 60 inch cut. Your list says two and then you literally use 3 in the video! Just a heads up.
Looks like you haven't tried your miter gauge yet, you need slots in your outfeed table that match the ones in the saw or it's not going to work. Don't ask me how I know this...
✔️ like ✔️ subscribe Personally, I would have made the work bench wider... only because i did the same as you. Later, I ended up building an extension for the right side of my tablesaw for when I'm using my cross cut sled or my miter gauge. But all in all... nicely done.
Thank you appreciate the support! Definitely agree with making it wider, I’ve been thinking of adding a fold out wing. My space is getting more and more limited..
What type of videos would you like to see me make?
The bench for the miter saw :D
@@PxlMrk good call on that one!
A nice wooden door with glass panels
@@cathexis1325 that could be a cool project
Router table too, storage shelf for power tools, storage shelf for clamps :D. Great project, Thanks for sharing your ideas!!!

genius when you used painters tape for the back of the outlet. I never thought to do that. Awesome video. Well built!
Thank you!
Great job! My only suggestion would be to add miter slots to the top of the outfeed table. This will allow your crosscut sled more room to slide.
Yea I missed that in the video I plan to add them. Thanks for the tip!
I just emailed my husband this link and told him we need to get busy!! lol Nice!!
Appreciate the support!
Very nice build. I am rebuilding my wood shop and need clever space saving work surfaces like this to function. Thank you
Glad I could help!
i like how you use the two clamps to clamp the two longer pieces together. you should give this set up a close up
Appreciate you catching that! I’ll keep it in mind for a future video
Fantastic build, This weekend I will be attaching the tops and casters.
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure the melamine is indeed heavier. I made a sheet goods cutting table that breaks down and stores in very little space, it keeps the saw horses from falling over.
7-18lbs heavier from what I’ve read. I think I may need to do the same!
I use a tapered predrill with countersink from Lee Valley.
They have different sizes #6, #8.
Never had one snap off.
I’ll have to order some, thanks for the recommendation!
This is exactly what I need for my small workshop. Thanks for putting together the plans and material list! I’m going to tackle this soon.
Glad you found it useful!
Nice sawbench! Just got same saw for Christmas so this is perfect for my small shop. I'll add woodvise at opposite end.
Thanks, I need to get one for my shop as well!
Adjustable feet nice touch, especial when planning on using on garage floor. 👍
Yea they work well!
The workbench came out awesome! Also love the last clip 😂😂

I actually just ordered a few today for my next video!
I like it a lot. If I build this I think I'd maybe make some wood inverted "L" block or plumbing pipe clamps to hold the table saw in place.
Definitely need to add something for that! I was going to add some pipe hangers to hold the saw. Slides around a bit once the dust starts flying
I love that. Thanks for Google Sheet.
Nice project.
BTW, lots of other people make those quick flip bits; (Dewalt, Kobalt, etc) They're cheap enough that I keep a drawer in the shop with like 5 of them, each setup for a specific screw (I tend to use Kreg and Spax, so 90% of what I'll ever do is square drive, and T15, 20 & 25) with the correct drill bit for the pilot hole, and the driver.

Sorry for the late reply, my saw came with them. You can get adjustable threaded feet on Amazon though.

Hi James; I am going to give your bench a go. When looking at it, if i understand your plans you have blocks of wood 17" for the depth (Front to back) in your video it looks a lot wider. I know you have frame to ad onto that but even then it looks like its deeper that. Am i wrong? Thxs
The overall width is 24”. 17” measurement is between each of the upright pieces which are 3 1/2” each.
In the video you mention a cut list, but the spreadsheet shows the materials list. Did you by any chance make a cut list google sheet?
Honestly, I made some modifications to the design during the build and added a few additional pieces. The material list is still accurate but if you build it per the plans and following the video you can definitely develop your own cut list very easily!
$150 well you should try wit prices in Australia. Wouldn't have much change from $1000.
Jeez and I thought prices here were high!
Would you use a different material for the bench/outfeed if you intended on putting dog holes in the table top?
You could probably go with mdf and put your own Formica top on it. That would probably be more durable than the particle board
@@jamesofalltradesny thanks. Been stalling on making my own work bench due to lack of knowledge on table tops. Currently working off of a desk which does fine for my current small projects but, wont cut it if/when I expand what I am working on.

Thanks! There is a google sheet link in the description!
Really like this design. I was thinking about getting one of the stands that flips and rolls, but I rarely have someone to hold the wood on the other side. My brain is clicking away now.
I had a similar rolling stand for my miter saw and I felt it took up to much space when folded up. But everyone’s needs are different!
Room to incorporate a router table?
You definitely could add one in the outfeed area!
Did the adjustable feet for your saw to raise/level it come with your saw?
Yes they did, if yours didn't you can probably add them relatively easily!
darn, yea mine didn't. How did you end up mounting the saw on the slippery melamine?

Glad I can help! I actually need to add some pipe straps to mine as it’s still sliding around.
Need to build something like this as well. Do you feel the need for wings on the sides to accommodate wider wood?
Wider would be nicer for sure but for a smaller garage any bigger would be too cumbersome.

Once you touch a drill bit to a surface and begin turning the bit, the "pre" part is done, and you have begun drilling.
Interesting take lol
what program are you using for the cut list?
I used fusion for the design and then for something simple like this I counted the components
Screwing the screw in reverse for a little bit also stops splitting.
That is true and definitely works in a pinch!
Did you use the #4 countersink bit from the Amazon link you shared?
I believe that’s what I used, but ultimately it’s dependent on screw size
Did you secure the table saw to the bench? I have the same table saw, I made a small stand for it I secured it with some conduit clamps.
I did not initially but I did after the fact, I found once dust settles on the melamine the saw moves fairly easy.
I want to build a workbench similar to yours but with slightly different dimensions; 30 1/2" H X 34" W X 8' L. Would it be hard to modify yours? Keeping in mind I only a table saw a miter saw a jig saw and a circular saw.

Where did you use the 2 x 6 in your shopping list?
Honestly I’m drawing a blank, I’ll need to look when I have a computer in front of me.
@@jamesofalltradesny Its all good, thanks for getting back to me.
Straight 2x4s from a big box store?
How long did you spend digging through the stack?
Too long 😅
I tried Fusion 360 and it seemed to be more designed for small parts. Maybe a video of how you did it would be helpful.
I’m just starting to get the hang of it, I’ll definitely do a tutorial in the future!
Hey what design software are you using?
Fusion 360!
What program are you using to make plans?
Fusion 360
Is there any need to secure the saw to the base of the work bench?
Yea after using it I may in fact add some sort of fastener to secure it!
Great video and plans but the plans are short by a 60"
I will update today! Thank you!
While I DO love all this "mobile workbenches" I myself kind of hate them too!! Hear me out here.....
I don't technically OWN an actually workshop and my space is limited to either a cramped 8 foot by 8 foot area in my storage shed at any given time, OR the yard directly in front of my shed, which doubles as my "work shop" most days!! THIS means, FIRST, that the weather has to be ideal for me to do ANY work at all! SECONDLY I don't have a concrete floor where casters would work, and THIRDLY any kind of workbench I make has to fold down to a very small footprint to be stored inside my shed when not in use!!
Another problem I have is that I don't always have a permanent mounting solution for any of my larger tools, because I am always swapping out what tools I need to use, WHEN the need arises!! A fifth problem I have is having to have tools like my miter saw and my table saw, which both have their own stands, takes up space I don't have, leaving me zero space for a band saw and stand or my bench style drill press taking up space on my only workbench!!!
Like I say I actually LOVE your design.....but for me it is totally worthless, as I don't have the space or floor system to support it!! Those casters would be worthless in my yard on grass. and I am getting too old and too tired of lugging my tools in and out of my workshop to the yard and back when I am done using them!!
Is there one would like to teach how to use fusion 365 for wood working ?
One of my future videos will for sure be a fusion tutorial!
Thanks for the design and cut list, it is actually missing one 60 inch cut. Your list says two and then you literally use 3 in the video! Just a heads up.
Thank you I’ll update it this week!
How do I download the the plans for this workbench for free?
Nice build . You got 10lbs of stuff in a 5 lb bag 😅 though .
lol yea I do, need a bigger garage
@@jamesofalltradesny Don't we all .
Looks like you haven't tried your miter gauge yet, you need slots in your outfeed table that match the ones in the saw or it's not going to work. Don't ask me how I know this...
Yea I realized that once I finished. I plan on adding them in soon, appreciate the tip!
cool
Thanks
good job thank you for the freebee
Appreciate it!

Personally, I would have made the work bench wider... only because i did the same as you. Later, I ended up building an extension for the right side of my tablesaw for when I'm using my cross cut sled or my miter gauge.
But all in all... nicely done.
Thank you appreciate the support! Definitely agree with making it wider, I’ve been thinking of adding a fold out wing. My space is getting more and more limited..
