Really enjoyed your vid, even though it may not be at the same complicated level as some other work benches vid out there. Several parts of your video makes it very real and relatable. 1, I have similar dimensions of plywood sheets that I'm not sure how to get back, so I appreciate you showing the home depot guy cutting and especially the fit into your car, especially the "Don't drive like this" part, looks like that's exactly how I'm going to drive it. Other parts of your video, like rolling stool, cover and even your mistake are also relatable and helpful.
I just bought my Ryobi Table Saw at Direct Tools for $80!! I’m so excited to use it but gotta build a work bench first! I love that you painted it, I think I’m gonna do the same!
th-cam.com/video/1GiYrFyNVUU/w-d-xo.html This guy will give you the basics on screws for woodworking. I also use torx (star drive (sounds futuristic) or whatever people call them). It will save you all sorts of headaches and time.
I think this is the first workbench video I've come across where the person bothered to actually finish it. Looks great! I think building the table saw into it makes a lot of sense, seeing how many people have an outfeed table to stick on the end of their table saws anyway. Nice work!
Ok so I took the plunge and built this. I bought a Diewalt table saw and adapted the plans to fit my saw. I’m completely nuts but have been watching videos on cabinet making and am going to use the table saw workbench to build my first cabinet box. Wish me luck!
@@ShannonElizabethDesign yeah you did mention that in the video! Lol Any updates with the tool wall? And i didnt catch the name of the doggo! Very cute
Really good tips concerning assembly. I usually end up doing most things twice... Maybe after your video I’ll only have to assemble things once? Thanks for a great video!
I just started woodworking to burn up all this extra quarantine time, and man do I love it. Really love your build and the video was high quality. I'm building out my shop now and my bench was completed about 2 weeks to early, I should have gone with your design choice.
Thanks for flashing your cut list. the original post doesn't have the purchase or cut list anymore. :) I'm going to modify this a bit by putting the horizontals on the outside so that I can put vice on the side. I might make it a bit wider too. Otherwise, seems simple and functional. thanks!
This video inspired me to finally build something like this. I actually made it into two benches so I separate them and use the other bench when I need the length. Awesome vid. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Shannon.. You made a great work bench and it looks very strong ..you can add a router table attachment and modify your table saw to work together using one fence ..but the surface should be straight as mush as possible The dust collector can be added to your table saw by adding an elbow to the table saw box and attached to your vacuum much or dust collection system.. I hope my language is clear .. Good work
I have the same Table saw. Been looking for a good workbench. Think I finally found the one. Thanks for sharing! I went and followed you on IG too. I am also from San Diego.
I have used your tutorial to construct this and I am quite pleased. One thing. I want to use a fence and wondered if you have suggestions as to how to make one that woks.
Great job. I was looking at the same design, except modify it into a scrap wood storage. I love the idea for the shop vac port. So thank you for the video. It'll help me plan out the steps I need to take.
Shannon, thanks so much for your video and your plans for your workbench. I’m just about to finish the workbench, but I have a question. Is the top your table saw exactly flush with the top of your workbench, or did you allow some room over the top of the workbench, say 1/16” or 1/32”? It’s also worth noting that I have a Dewalt table saw, and the fence can extend to make the table 39”. This means I’ll have to cut a notch or two on the right side of the workbench to accommodate the fence. Anyone with a Dewalt will need to make adjustments to your plan to make this happen. Again, thank you for your good work here.
@@KevinPeffley thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! 😄🙏 My table saw is like 1/16” higher than the bench. I just wanted to be safe. But you could also do 1/32” or make it flush
Thank you so much!! I get what you mean. Yeah that would annoy me too. I would hate moving it back and forth. I'm lazy haha. I still need to make a miter saw table but haven't decided the design of it yet.
@@ShannonElizabethDesign Hahaha, cheers. He's obviously an American Bulldog, his name is Spud, such an easy going soul, your dog is such a sweetie too. And you're welcome.
@@ShannonElizabethDesign I bet they would! Don't know how a long distance relationship between dogs would go though, considering we are Australians... 😉😆😂🤣
Very nice! Came out great, I love the color. I'm thinking about doing something similar. Need a new table saw but don't want to take up all the space in my shop 🤔
That turned out great! Top effort! Unsure if it matters a whole lot but in woodwork we were always taught screws and nails should be at least three times longer than the first thickness you are going through… so 2x4 should use 6” screws? Anyway, it looks great! I have to build some benches and this looks ideal! Thanks for the inspiration
That’s a good rule of thumb, I suppose. But a 2x4 is only 1.5 in thick, and fastening 2 2x4 together would mean 3 in max. I use 3 in construction screws for 2x4 and never had a problem
Hi Shannon. Some questions from a beginner. 1st...I need to build a outdoor workbench, this build seems easy to build yet strong however I don't have a table saw so I won't be integrating it to the table but would I still need the extra set of legs for stability or will 4 be just as stable? 2nd...as i already said I'll be making the bench to sit outside on a gravel area as I have no room inside and no garage. I pressume to build the same bench to be suitable to stand in all weather I'll just buy all impregnated wood. Would you do anything else to help the bench be weatherproof? 3rd... How do you hold you work tight on the table when doing stuff like handsaw or planning? Don't you need a vise for this or clamps? I see videos of people putting dog holes in their bench. Im confused about this subject and obviously don't want to buy a vise to attach to the workbench if I'm not really going to use it. Can you help please
Hi James! Thanks for your questions. I think I would still add the extra legs but center them in the middle of the table. You probably could get away without them but since it’s going to be outside it might eventually start sagging in the middle after a couple years. To water proof it use polyethylene over the whole thing or some other waterproof sealant. I actually added these tracks into my table top from Rockler. www.rockler.com/universal-t-track-universal-t-track?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping&PL&gclid=Cj0KCQjw48OaBhDWARIsAMd966B_ThbIapuQRPP0voWVCTlxAIxoBgqWl6-ZG4396CHooful_PHXyfoaArN8EALw_wcB I used a router on the table top so the tracks can sit in and then there are other accessories you can buy like clamps to go in them.

Buying on vise would probably be more affordable. So really whatever you think you will use more and what you like.

I'm so happy me and my partner aren't the only ones who treat our puppy like you do
awww that makes me so happy 😀😊 dogs are life
Us also!
Like the natural look for the tabletop and the winter way paint for the added touch! Good build, nice work!
Thanks a bunch! 😊😇
I like the look of a painted bench. Nice touch.
Thanks! Yeah same! I feel like it makes the garage look more like a more than a garage
This is the 1st video of yours I've seen. Great personality for this. Love how you all are with your pup. Ill definitely be watching more

Built this last summer. Great plans. Small and mobile. Perfect for the beginner. Thank you for sharing.
That is awesome!! How do you like it?? Yeah it really is :)
If you're getting into wood working, definitely switch to torx/star headed screws. They're 1000000000000x better than philips head screws.
Oh really? I have never used them before. Do they not strip as much?
Shannon Elizabeth Yes, they don’t strip and drive in a lot easier. It’ll change your life. :)

This guy will give you the basics on screws for woodworking.
I also use torx (star drive (sounds futuristic) or whatever people call them). It will save you all sorts of headaches and time.
Phillips and flathead fasteners need to no longer exist haha
Interesting!! Sounds like a plan!!
Nice build! I especially like that you added width to both sides of your saw with the bench.
i finally got round to making this bench. Really like it. Am pleased with the outcome.

Awesome video! Made my own, by purchasing the plans from the offical site. Totally worth it!
Thank you so much. That’s awesome!!! How are you liking it?
THAT'S IT!! (the color). Very nice.
Thank you!:)
Try scraping your screws against bar soap to load up the threads. That will lube the screw and reduce screw and bit breaking.
Interesting. That’s super cool. I haven’t heard that before. Thank you
Good Girl....very impressed...looks to nice....love the dark look....
Thank you so much! Yeah I’m a fan of the dark blue too 😊
Great looking workbench incorporating your table saw. Your doggo is really adorable too.

Hi Shannon. Some questions from a beginner.
1st...I need to build a outdoor workbench, this build seems easy to build yet strong however I don't have a table saw so I won't be integrating it to the table but would I still need the extra set of legs for stability or will 4 be just as stable?
2nd...as i already said I'll be making the bench to sit outside on a gravel area as I have no room inside and no garage. I pressume to build the same bench to be suitable to stand in all weather I'll just buy all impregnated wood. Would you do anything else to help the bench be weatherproof?
3rd... How do you hold you work tight on the table when doing stuff like handsaw or planning? Don't you need a vise for this or clamps? I see videos of people putting dog holes in their bench. Im confused about this subject and obviously don't want to buy a vise to attach to the workbench if I'm not really going to use it.
Can you help please
Hi James! Thanks for your questions.
I think I would still add the extra legs but center them in the middle of the table. You probably could get away without them but since it’s going to be outside it might eventually start sagging in the middle after a couple years.
To water proof it use polyethylene over the whole thing or some other waterproof sealant.
I actually added these tracks into my table top from Rockler. www.rockler.com/universal-t-track-universal-t-track?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping&PL&gclid=Cj0KCQjw48OaBhDWARIsAMd966B_ThbIapuQRPP0voWVCTlxAIxoBgqWl6-ZG4396CHooful_PHXyfoaArN8EALw_wcB
I used a router on the table top so the tracks can sit in and then there are other accessories you can buy like clamps to go in them.
I really like this system and think it looks really nice as well. There are pictures on my Instagram of the table saw with the tracks in place.
Although it was a little pricey. Buying on vise would probably be more affordable. So really whatever you think you will use more and what you like.
