Thank you for your work and your ideas. As I get older I am changing more of my woodworking from power tools to hand tools. I still find many of your ideas will help me in my activities. Thanks again and best of luck with your business and your new shop. Richard
This channel is an inspiration for all the DIY fans around the world. And this is the workbench router table I'll choose as a model to build my new one. Thanks Dennis!
Dennis, I've watched a LOT of work bench videos, a lot. This is the best by miles! What an excellent example of planning, preparation and execution. Please understand that I will be thoroughly ripping it off for my own use when I get the time to upgrade my own work station.
ปีที่แล้ว
Interchangeable drawers is a must. Most videos have fixed drawers and at later stage this can become a problem. Yours is the most flexible and cheapest option I've seen so far. Also that workbench has options to ad at later stage.
Ik heb inmiddels al je filmpjes bekeken en ook een aantal geteste gereedschappen gekocht. De werkbank is idd een kunststuk. Ga zo door met het testen en uitleggen.
I love your channel, Dennis. Been a subscriber for a couple of years now. When I first wake up each day, I grab my coffee, sit at my computer, click on youtube, and look for woodworking videos to watch as I wake up every morning. You should do a regularly streaming early morning show. You could call it "Dennis's Morning Wood"
Be che dire che te sia molto bravo e preciso è riduttivo, ma il banco è il più bello ed efficiente tra tutti i banchi visti finora e è anche "semplice da realizzare" per come te lo spieghi in maniera eccelsa, è un piacere per gli occhi e la passione che condividiamo seguire i tuoi video, grazie.
Everything you make turns out like a piece of art, your craftsmanship is inspiring and I’m very much looking forward to your router lift and spiral bits reviews.
Dennis I love the dog holes I've been so leary of adding them to my benches in the past but once my new shop is built I'm going to bite the bullet and build something like this bench, im building 2 actually and they will be on casters and will be parallel work surfaces that can be joined together to make a Mega work surface bench. My tops will be 30"x84" and the outfeed table im thinking I will add the router lift as you did. Definitely a video I'll be coming back too for sure
Brilliant! I am looking forward to building this for my daughter who is moving into a new home and asked me to come up with a creative idea for a work bench. I now have it! Thank you!
i'am also going to build this great workbench! i am going to connect the top and frontpanels with a butt joint, to lower the change that the pannels are not exactly ninetie degrees connected, because its easier to make a Right angle wood connection ( for me :-) ). it almost can't go wrong
I found this very interesting. I have spent the last couple of week look at the build of a Roubo bench. The question is what type of bench would be most suited to my workshop. I have come to the conclusion, both! They have there own advantages. Thank you Dennis Bendakt. Love the colours
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. As soon as I move to my new shop I will be making that same workbench. I just have to locate that beautiful black MDF. Once again, you knocked this build out of the park!
i love way you go about building router table workbench,your workshop is very nice,wow you are a genius.. australia. hey dennis have you seen the lastest festool guiderail cutting station,its big.
Beautiful table. I always enjoy your projects.And thank you for creating China tools I won’t buy until I watch CT or check your site to see your review My friends and I call it Denis’s Bible because we know it’s a honest review and for that we thank you 🙏
I am really glad you came out with this video. Your first video for the router part used incra. I was very interested in using exactly what you did and then found out that Incra has such a long waiting list. I do have a question for you. If you had a bigger workshop from the beginning, would you have had a different size workbench and if so, what dimensions would you have chosen. Thanks so much
Well, I will get a new and bigger workbench in a few months and for this place I indeed will build a bigger workbench. 200 x 100. But I never had a lot of problems with this workbench size. I first thought I would need a size of 240 x 120 but I think that will become too big. In my new situation I can slide it against another workbench to create this dimension if necessary.
Hi Dennis. Really looking forward to seeing the new workshop when its done. I’m planning my own upgrade too and wondering if you found your self made extraction system good enough or would you do things differently with hindsight? Beautiful bench.
Hi Dennis, wonderful video's you put out! Especially the 'China Tools' series. Could you give any indication on what such a workbench would cost to make? Maybe a price with and without the router+tracks.
Hi Dennis, amazing video. You should make more videos of projects like this. It's nice to see your workshop and see how you work. You show that you are hooked by wood Congratulations Greetings from Barcelona.
I enjoy your videos! The one snagg i think with any router table is the lift which is a minimal cost of $200. Many DIY options exist that address this - my favorite being one that uses a wedge sled so the lift screw is perpendicular to the router so it can be placed on the cabinet face and easily actuated with a drill or wrench. Your finishes are top notch, look great, and great functionality! Thank you!
Hi Dennis, hope you are well. Super detailed video as usual and another work of art. I always find your videos interesting and always learn from them. Great idea for standardising your drawers in the bench. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the awesome work.
Awesome video as usual, love the drawers at the end there. They alone, and the idea of a standardised, simple workshop drawer, is easily worth a whole video on its own. It's a very, very good idea and, as you said, very cost efficient as no sliders are involved. Some candle wax on the bottom of the drawers, on the lip that slides, will probably make them very very comfortable to use as well!
I ran into the same issue of the Festool clamps not fitting because my top was too thick. It was easily solved by running a slight chamfer around the underside of each 20mm hole. Find the correct depth and everything works.
I absoltely confirm with Dennis regarding the awesome look of radiant plywood in combination of colored MDF! So @Hooked On Wood ... Well done! ;-) My question is about the thickness you used for both panel. I couldn't found (or missed) any information about it.
Love this workbench build. Plywood is so awesome to is and many times as you show better and more versatile than demenssional lumber. The tracks, hold down holes are fantastic. The router box very good 💡. Thank you for sharing, love keef joints, great anticipation for the new shop and have a wonderful weekend.
Well, that was excellent. Very nice design. And your execution of the build was a joy to watch. The precision and accuracy by which you work is something to aspire to. I love the plywood frame and colored mdf combination. At some point I will source the colored mdf product for myself. Until then, stain will have to do. Thanks you for the video. It's great to follow along with your new workshop builds!
Hello Dennis, You make great videos. love your design with the black MDF and the plywood. Where do you get your materials? Looking forward to your future videos in your new workshop. Greetings from the Netherlands
Beautiful! I truly appreciate your standard of work excellence and design. I aspire to get to your level of consistency in my own small shop. Precision makes Maker life better
I'm agreeing with Chris Carmichael ...it's so beautiful I'd be in two minds whether I could actually use it, or just charge people entry to marvel at it. I'm in awe...I'd love to make one but I'm not sure mine would look quite like yours Dennis. Love the production, very slick...this is a great channel, just great.
I watched several times on this video. It is really wonderful from every perspective. I will build mine based on your plan. The things I am thinking to change maybe that I will use steel legs. Also I may put detachable wheels and level screws on legs. I will make the top as 2 inch thick so the dog holes will be more sturdy.
Hi Dennis. You have inspired me to write my first ever TH-cam comment, because i need your help! I have decided to launch my workshop build project using November to purchase all my tools, which i will use to build my own "Dennis workbench". Your workbench build videos are great, but I do not have a workbench to use for building my "Dennis workbench". Can you give me advice as to how to build an absolutely flat and square workbench on my uneven concrete garage floor.
Great work! The very neat solutions such as the sliding doors for air, cables makes it very complete. One thing that you have that stands out compared to many other benches is the drawer reconfigurability. I try building everything to an extent of making it reconfigurable, if needed. And in a workshop, tools and workflow come and go so this is a perfect place to do so. Great decision! In the obsession of ball bearing sliders, it’s great to see some old and well proved solutions. I will certainly do similar to you.
I absolutely love all of the shows, old ones and new ones
Your attention to detail is amazing.
It's not a work bench, it's a piece of art! Outstanding as always Dennis
Thank you for your work and your ideas. As I get older I am changing more of my woodworking from power tools to hand tools. I still find many of your ideas will help me in my activities. Thanks again and best of luck with your business and your new shop.

Weer een genot om naar te kijken.
Dank je wel Dennis voor alle moeite met het filmen hiervan.
i have enjoyed watching your reviews but I really enjoyed watching you work. Very detailed and thought out.
Wow! I like how organized your shop and designs are!
Dennis.
wonderful. I love to watch your videos. It’s a big inspiration for my own ideas.
Please never stop it.
Greetings from germany
Beautiful, Dennis! I love your style, and I'm going to copy it!
Great looking workbench and I love your idea for the drawers!
very nice work and a very nice workbench. the attention to detail and the accurate execution are impressive! another great video !!
Always so perfect. Your videos are a pleasure to watch.
good evening from Greece! I watch your videos and I like them very much! I am paraplegic and I like working with wood! Good luck with your work
Thank you - I very much apprecite the references to the banggood people and products/ tools made.
Just found your videos. Excellent, attention to detail is very important to you and that I appreciate.
Outstanding and very thorough!
Good stuff my friend!
Really liked the drawer solution without the guides. Saves a lot of money and increases available space too.
Dennis, I've watched a LOT of work bench videos, a lot. This is the best by miles! What an excellent example of planning, preparation and execution. Please understand that I will be thoroughly ripping it off for my own use when I get the time to upgrade my own work station.

Another gr8 Video Dennis. Very well thought through workbench - looking forward to building one soon!

Danke Milan. Have a nice weekend
Awesome job.. really looks great and super functional!
I was halfway through the video when I smashed the subscribe button. Amazing work and amazing presentation. Love it! Cheers!
Ik heb inmiddels al je filmpjes bekeken en ook een aantal geteste gereedschappen gekocht.
De werkbank is idd een kunststuk.
Ga zo door met het testen en uitleggen.
Nice! You're just full of good ideas. I intend to incorporate 4 or 5 soon. Thank you.
Kwaliteit en knappe montage. Top Dennis!

What a nice way to start the day :-). The morning show, what a great idea! :-)
Amazing video Dennis, thank you for sharing!
Great idea with a lot of convenience. thank you for sharing.
Ja Dennis , je maakt geweldig mooie werkbanken . Proficiat
The part I am most impressed with is the precision.
Fastest subscribe! Blown away by your content! Truly enjoyable, informative, and accessible content🥰
YES! Ive been waiting on this video since you teased about it maybe a couple months ago!
WOW, congrats Dennis, really nice!
Excellent job Dennis!

As normal you dot all the i;s and cross all the tee's great job again Dennis

Nice. Really great Work bench with Valchromat.
Hi Denis this is unbelievable almost scary, too perfect 💪💪💪💪💪

Brilliant! I am looking forward to building this for my daughter who is moving into a new home and asked me to come up with a creative idea for a work bench. I now have it! Thank you!
Very nice and pretty slick
Another winning workbench! I really love your methods and end results, Dennis.
Nice work as usual Dennis. 👌
I just love the precision of your work!
i'am also going to build this great workbench!
i am going to connect the top and frontpanels with a butt joint, to lower the change that the pannels are not exactly ninetie degrees connected, because its easier to make a Right angle wood connection ( for me :-) ). it almost can't go wrong
Saludos desde México, gracias por compartir.
Nicely Done
Again another good video. Thanks I have bought a few hundred dollars worth of gear from Bangoo using your link.
Thanks Randall, I hope you are happy with it!
Well done sir.
Geniaal en erg mooi!
Great job man
Nice build!
Your woodworking is so precise, so clinical and great to watch Dennis. Can't wait to see your next video. ❤👍
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this updated design, it keeps getting better and better!
Nice to see you back with a build video, looking forward to seeing that new workshop.
I found this very interesting. I have spent the last couple of week look at the build of a Roubo bench. The question is what type of bench would be most suited to my workshop. I have come to the conclusion, both! They have there own advantages. Thank you Dennis Bendakt. Love the colours
That is the best work bench I've seen! The draw idea is genius! Thanks for the upload 👍
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. As soon as I move to my new shop I will be making that same workbench. I just have to locate that beautiful black MDF. Once again, you knocked this build out of the park!
I love the build of your workbench. It is easy to follow. I hope we could see more builds/ shop projects in the future.
i love way you go about building router table workbench,your workshop is very nice,wow you are a genius.. australia. hey dennis have you seen the lastest festool guiderail cutting station,its big.
Not yet, I will look at it :-)
Beautiful table. I always enjoy your projects.And thank you for creating China tools I won’t buy until I watch CT or check your site to see your review My friends and I call it Denis’s Bible because we know it’s a honest review and for that we thank you 🙏
Affordable is laudable..But very nicely done.
Agree, but radiata is underlaymend plywood and no drawers sliders. Only the black mdf is expansive. 120 euro. So from that view affordable 😀
@@HookedonWood That's a lot for mdf but what's the cost of those screws?
Looks great! Can't wait for the router lift and bits review! Love the drawer system!
I am really glad you came out with this video. Your first video for the router part used incra. I was very interested in using exactly what you did and then found out that Incra has such a long waiting list. I do have a question for you.

Awsome workbench. Black MDF is a bit expensive in Sweden at 250USD.

Yep, great tip! I tried this but my workbenchtop was to thick for that as well. But for 25-30mm top, I think it works perfectly.
Thanks again Dennis, love the idea for the new workbench cabinet drawers.
Loved it. Your editing of your videos look so professionally done. Your right it does look easier to build. Great job as alwaysDennis.
Wow, great project Dennis, excellent work. I look forward to your review of your router lift prior to me purchasing one. Thanks for a great video!
Ziet er weer heel strak uit, vooral met het zwarte mdf
When overlaynig MDF on 3/4/19mm Plywood Chamfer the bottom side of the 20mm plywood dog holes so your clamps will still work.
yes, but with 36mm top, you have to move a lot.
I absoltely confirm with Dennis regarding the awesome look of radiant plywood in combination of colored MDF! So @Hooked On Wood ... Well done! ;-)
My question is about the thickness you used for both panel. I couldn't found (or missed) any information about it.

I agree analyses about the workflow and tools come and go. This is why I think it is a flexible solution.
Really super job Dennis! Some great ideas if I ever have a space for decent work bench.
Dennis, I love the standardized drawers! Great idea
Heel mooi. Ik ben fan van dit design!
Great video Dennis. What product do you use to finish the MDF?
Dennis, I wish you lived closer! I would love to study under you. LOL!!!
