This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
Nicely done! And great to see another fellow Ryobi fan. You're the first I've seen with all Ryobi tools, and I watch a lot of woodworkers. You've got the right idea, Ryobi is the best! Lol 😆
If you're on a budget and want to start getting into woodworking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Ryobi. It's the brand that's got me to where I am today, and I'm not ashamed to own them (as some have said I should be). I will be honest tho, I think I've now reached a level where I'm requiring more professional features and functionality from my tools, so I have started to look into Bosche or Makita for some future purchases, but I will always have a soft spot for Ryobi.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking I agree, Ryobi is one of my favorite brands, if not my most favorite, it's just unfortunate that they don't make EVERY kind of tool needed for my Woodworking. If they did I'd buy nothing but Ryobi lol
Nice job. That will serve you well for decades. Congrats on the new shop. I remember when I was finally able to move my tools out of a shed nd into a dedicated shop. Pure bliss.
G'day Anthony, saw you on Vic's segment on M2C1 this week and this awesome bench. Mate, you've really hit the ground running on both the woodworking and video front. What a cracking first filmed build and wow, YT has loved it too. Great to see! Looking forward to working through your channel - James
Enjoy watching you work. I like the methodical and detail-oriented way you go about things. A suggestion if you don't mind. When using the planer, pick up on the back of the board as it's going in and pick up on the front of the board as its coming out. It will reduce snipe quite a bit. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip! Yes I do need to do something about the planner setup. I really need an outfeed so I can push stock through it right after each other to reduce that as well. As it stands I kinda have to run around the thing to stop it from falling onto the ground!
nice build. that said, you should have the top stick out a couple of inches for the times you need to clamp things like fences or stops. it will also help prevent sawdust build up on the handles and in the drawers.
Thanks David, and you certainly make a valid point. The original plan called for a 20mm overhang for the exact reasons you point out, but when included the mitre-saw station on top (video 2) and the mitre-saw fence (video 3), those reasons became less important. If I didn't do those things, I would %100 go back to the original overhang.
Was this all just "box store" bought lumber? Or is that some kind of higher end hard wood? I've done a ton of projects, but usually I'm just building shelves or something similar for function, and have never worried much about appearance. But I'm redoing my garage and building some benches/workstations and want these to look better than what I typically do. I know jointing/planing can make even basic 2x4s look much cleaner and fancier. Is that what you did here?
Correct, what you see is all off the shelf 'box store' bought lumber. The framing timber I used is what is called in my big box store as 'pine shorts', which as the name suggests is just short pieces of '2x4' (or in AUS that's 35mm x 75mm). These are very dry, and generally straight since they are quite short and clean up really nice when planned/sanded. The top is made of FromPly, this is a special type of plywood with a hard resin surface which is great for workbench tops etc. Glue won't stick to it, and it's resistant to marking or denting. So far it's holding up great.
use it and the place is very neat and clean, and the tools are very sophisticated and complete. much different at my place, the place is makeshift and the tools are also makeshift😢
Would you by chance have a cut sheet or dimensions? This looks like a fine piece of furniture, but than again my shop has lots of “Work Furniture” in it too. 😊
I don't have a cut sheet sorry, however I do have this modeled in Sketchup for dimensions. The dimensions are very specific to my space, so I'm not sure how applicable they would be elsewhere, but if you're interested in the file, you're welcome to message me on Insta and I'll provide a link or email them to you.
It's called Form Ply here in Australia. I'm not sure what they would call it in the US (or if it's something common over there). It's effectively plywood with a film coating on top that makes it very smooth and great for (IMO) this type of bench-top.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking ya i haven't seen that where I am in the US. I guess we have melamine which I would think is kinda similar but only in white. But yeah that seems like a great material for that top!
We have melamine here as well, but that's defiantly different to form ply. The surface of form ply is perfectly smooth, it doesn't have any texture unlike melamine, so yes perfect for this job as you don't have to do anything to the surface. Plus melamine would be particle board vs plywood.
Thank you! If I'd not built the mitre-saw top (video #2), then I'd 100% agree, it would be slightly too low to be a bench on it's own. If I was building this to just be the top itself, then I'd have definitely gone another 4 or 5 inches taller.
Unfortunately I don't have step by step plans for this Steve. Since this is very custom, it's only really designed to fit my needs and my specific space. I do have a google Sketchup file for the main cabinets and top should someone be interested in that you can email me or visit me on Insta for it. For those interested the timber used is Form Ply for the top, the drawers are MDF, while the rest is made out of basic pine shorts (or 2x4's).

Amazing workmanship. I hope I could be that great one day. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very talented. I liked many of the things you done with this. Gives me ideas and makes me want to do more.

This is art
Thanks Joseph. :)
Awesome!
C'est magnifique merci beaucoup pour la vidéo 📼
Merci beaucoup!
alright I have staeted here! i have 25 to go! Also I will commenting on EVERYTHING from now on! LOL
An Aussie, I see. Sherwood and Selleys gave it away. Good work!
Nice job. That will serve you well for decades. Congrats on the new shop. I remember when I was finally able to move my tools out of a shed nd into a dedicated shop. Pure bliss.
Thanks! It's a big step up from the garden shed I was previously in!

That means alot coming from you James. Thanks :)
@@barberspaddockwoodworking Mate at this rate you'll overtake me within 12 months ;) Keep it up!
That’s a lovely piece of workshop furniture, I admire your workmanship👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Appreciate that Karl, thanks!
Bravo et merci !
That is one awesome bench. I would like one in white oak :-)
That would be nice! Unfortunately not a timber common here in Aus. :(
spettacolo puro 👍💪
Nice work, am looking forward on how you come along!
More to come! Part 3 hopefully not far to go.
Nice video! I’ve built many cabinets, and it’s never occurred to me to install the drawer slides before building the drawers!
Thanks!
Well done sir!

Nice mitre station Anthony that will out last the Great Wall of china.
Ha yes, I'm sure it will, or at least the next 10 years. :)

use it and the place is very neat and clean, and the tools are very sophisticated and complete. much different at my place, the place is makeshift and the tools are also makeshift😢

Awesome, thank you!

Plus melamine would be particle board vs plywood.
I’m pretty sure here in the US that would be MDO (medium density overlay). Kind of hard to find in some places.
Ahh, yes, looking at google, that is %100 the same thing. Learnt something new!
Terrific work! It's ok as a desk, but it seems too low as a workbench.
Thank you! If I'd not built the mitre-saw top (video #2), then I'd 100% agree, it would be slightly too low to be a bench on it's own. If I was building this to just be the top itself, then I'd have definitely gone another 4 or 5 inches taller.
Sangat bagus
Hi are there any plans at at all I’m a complete novice and don’t know where to start let alone work out what wood I would need cheers
Unfortunately I don't have step by step plans for this Steve. Since this is very custom, it's only really designed to fit my needs and my specific space. I do have a google Sketchup file for the main cabinets and top should someone be interested in that you can email me or visit me on Insta for it.
For those interested the timber used is Form Ply for the top, the drawers are MDF, while the rest is made out of basic pine shorts (or 2x4's).

Hahah yes! Thanks for noticing that!
