- How to Build a Workbench. Build this Cheap, Sturdy Workbench for your Garage. A workbench is a must for your garage or shed. When it comes to building a workbench l needed to satisfy three criteria. The workbench was required to be tough, cheap to build (second hand or reclaimed materials are fine. It doesn't have to look pretty as pretty soon it is going to be trashed) and sturdy enough to take a beating without falling to bits.

El tipo es loco pero sabe lo que hace
Great video, very well explained, lots of care taken and a parts list to boot, true sign of craftsmanship !
Appreciate the comment Polla :-)
absolute class love this fella and I'm a construction professional of over 25 years and still learn new tricks lol, keep it up mate top drawer
Thanks for that Richie. Cheers mate
Never built a thing in my life before (I'm 61) but today thanks to this video I have a brand new self built workbench in my garage.Still trying to get my head around the fact that I actually did it... thanks Shane!!!
That's fantastic mate! So glad l could help out :-)
Yea I love the feeling that comes from seeing something we made or using something we made, every time we do something with that thing that we made!
Per Shop would love to see a pic of your final work!
I've been doing this for about 1 1/2-2years and having a blast!😁 And you're right,there's nothing like the pride of making something yourself and the wife telling you did a great job and very proud of you.I remember the first time my great wife told me that.Especially when she showed her friends on of my finished projects with a smile.

Great build, finished it yesterday. One note worth mentioning is that the notches taken out for the legs should alternate sides. 2 notches taken off the right and 2 taken off the left. otherwise the legs won't match up in directions. I really like this design, and will definitely be using it again. thanks!
+Mbmoney1217 Thanks mate. Glad you followed my design. Cheers
Super Job on the video! Did one up today, and it turned out fine, although I didn't mitre cut the ends like you. I needed to make sure I got the leg sections the right way 'round before i put them together, and after watching the video several times, i figured it out.
Thanks, we'll tip one for you!
Good stuff Mike. Glad you worked it out. Cheers mate
and ... ?
I was going to make a bench from someone else’s video, but yours is much better. Off to Bunnings tomorrow to get some screws and a drop saw.
Good luck with the bench mate...you won't be disappointed 👍😁🇦🇺
Nice build. I particularly like the sturdy joint and your explanation on how to make it and why. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Thanks Lawrence! I appreciate the feedback mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Thank you for this video.
No worries Kieron....thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺
Really goof project
Thanks Kris! 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks for the info , very informative , on my way to buy materials 😁.
Good luck with it Dalbir! Thanks for watching mate....you won't be disappointed with it 👍😁🇦🇺
Awesome !!!! I have seen a bunch of these videos but yours is the one I am going to try out !!!
Thanks for this great video !
That's great Saurav. Good luck with the build. Cheers mate
That is excellent bench! Glad I found you, you knucklehead!! Greetings from Tampa Florida!
Good stuff Gabe and good luck with your bench! Cheers :-)
thanks mate found the lay out I had to hit the about button new to youtube
No worries Charles.
Excelente....muito bom
Obrigado Jorge .... fico feliz que tenha gostado da bancada 👍😁🇦🇺
As an American I don't use metric sizes for material or fasteners. The standard size board is 2x4 which is 3-1/2 by 1-/1/2. I am a novice woodworker. What size screws do you recommend for joining the legs and rails and what diameter are the bolts? This bench is ideal for my needs. My bench overall will be 40 inches by 68 inches. Hope you see this post and reply. Thanks.
Perhaps, it would be easier to just list the size fasteners you used in metric numbers and I will convert them to American standard fasteners.
G'day Richard...l used 65mm screws for all the joinery and the bolts were 10mm in diamteter. Hope that helps and good luck with the bench....it's bullet proof 👍👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads Thank you for your complete and prompt reply. I practiced this morning making the mitered joint. Oy! A bit rough, but with practice I will make a cleaner joint. I see why you tapped the chisel; the wood splits if you strike it too hard. I am going to use a 5//8 inch fir plywood top. I noticed your workbench is thicker. Any reason for that? I like your choice of a Dewalt bench saw. They upgraded it and retired the older model. I did your shop tour. It was very helpful too, except I will permanently mount the grinder and sander. I use them a lot to sharpen drill bits and knives. Your a great teacher; a little zany, but it adds to your presentation. Thank you, again.
P.S. I am 75 yo. Goes to show you its never to late to learn.
@@RockyS1945 You're right there Richard....you're never to old 👍 Hope the bench works out well mate. It doesn't matter if it's a little rough around the edges....l call it "Rustic Charm". No real reason for the thicker bench but l just thought it might take a beating a little better....so far so good 👍 Have a great weekend mate and if there's anything else you want to ask just shoot me a message. Cheers 😁👍🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads Hi, I am building my third bench. This one is small to support a dehumidifier in the basement. It needs the height to drain. Thanks.
How do attach bottom shelf?
Just attach it Lisa by screwing it to the legs. Good luck! 👍
OK, I’m a new to these projects, so not sure where to locate that measurements/parts list. H E L P !!
G'day Callix...head on down to the Description Box under the video to see all the details. Good luck! 👍😁
Almost a decade on and this is still my favorite workbench to build! Thanks for all the great content! Love it!
My pleasure Josh! Glad you liked it mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I"ve seen probably 10 make a workbench videos, and this one is by far the best.
Nelson Whipple same here ! Gonna start building in couple days
Man it really is! I just bought a house, and am more of a mechanic than a wood worker, but would still love a strong, functional workbench to lay parts on etc. I've been studying up on videos for a few days, trying to get ideas on what I want to make, and this is by far the simplest video I've seen yet!
Even 7 years later this how-to video still is one of the better ones I found. Simple, sturdy and doable for a beginner.... #simpleworkbench
The only thing I don’t like is the screws in the top of the ply.... he could’ve used a pocket jig to screw it from the bottom. Also, he went through the trouble of lap joining the top, then why not cut out the laps for shelves as well??
@@43braden yes, same as i thought. The bench is great and well done! But I wouldn’t glue the top ply on it. And screw from beneath. But that’s a thing everybody can adjust as he she it likes. We are all capable of think by ourselves.
Created a mock up of the bench you presented here in SketchUp so I could figure out how much material I needed.
kvault.wordpress.com/2015/03/04/need-a-workbench/
Then over the weekend I built it!
kvault.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/needed-a-work-bench/
This video was great and helped me out a lot!!! Keep up the good work.
Awesome Chris! Well done mate!
wish i could use Sketchup
The video is awesome. I put this together based on the example provided and it came out perfect. Since that day, i've probably spent about $1000 at home depot since i can't stop building stuff now......
My wife thanks you. Not really.
Nice one Shane. A great, study workbench with really clear instructions. I made it pretty much like the video. I did use 30mm ply for the top which makes it a little more solid but also allowed me to screw it from below through the frame with 100mm screws (also recessed 15mm or so into the frame so the screws ran about 25mm into the ply) so that I didn't have screw heads showing / interrupting the smooth surface of the work top. Turned out really well. Thanks very much for all the ideas, Shane.
Well done Hamish! Sounds like you did a great job mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I like your videos mate - you come across slightly nuts and that's my demographic.
President??? When did they hold the election? How could I have missed it?
Well, since you're President and all, let me plead with you not to raise taxes on Uncle Knacker's videos. I'd go broke if you did, mate.
This is the best and most straight forward tutorial on TH-cam..! Actually helping with DIY :) Thankyou Uncle knackers
👍👍....No worries at all Hayden!....Thanks for the comment mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I've been looking at work bench videos all morning for ideas on the bench I'm about to build and I choose yours!!!
Great bench, great video and greater host!!!
That bench is MacDaddy
Thanks Premiersharpening. Good luck with the bench! Cheers :-)
I really enjoy your "vintage" videos - good advise everywhere. Is that Dewalt Mitersaw the same as the one who lost it's life by "accident" in the recent Lego-video 😍💥😍 ?
Hahahahaha.....very well spotted mate 👍👍 You'll be pleased to know that the saw is now off life support 😂
Just built the workbench. It came out great thank you!
I think this is the best bench I've seen on TH-cam!
Daniel Wiley Appreciate that Daniel. Glad you like it and thanks for taking the time to leave me some feedback. Cheers mate
I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. Good stuff!
Thanks Jay, and like l've mentioned before, anyone reading this, make sure you check Jays channel out for some really good woodworking and DIY Tips. Cheers mate
Jay Bates, this guys is great. So are you my friend. I'm actually down under right now in Australia. Would love to meet him actually.
So I’m looking to replace my benches 🤔 . . . .
@@diyforknuckleheads could you just use pocket hole screws on the corners of your 45s
TIP: When using wood screws to join two pieces of wood together.
Drill the pilot-hole in one piece of wood a tad wider than the diameter of the screw, so that it slides right through. Now offer up the second piece behind the first and clamp them together. The screw will pull that second piece of wood really tight ...no real need for glue. This works well with both hard and soft wood.
Gotta love this guy for reminding "it's not plugged in" In almost his every video, one of the best woodworking youtuber I love
And I just realize it was 7 years ago video, what a consistency
👍😁.....Cheers mate...appreciatethe feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
Awesome project dear mate. You fixed so many screws and bolts which lead it expensive a bit. I am in a process of building one for my daily jobs not that fancy yours one is but I am trying to make it as cheap as possible. I would upload a video of my way and procedure when I would be closed to the job. Regards,
Thanks LearningZone and good luck with your bench. Cheers
Hi StopPutin. You can use a jigsaw if you like. What ever you feel comfortable with really. A jig saw may be a fraction quicker but when you consider that all you are doing is four cuts, then the time taken using either method is hardly noticeable. Cheers mate and thanks for the comment.
You have a gift of teaching in such a direct manner.You seem to relay your ideas and methods with such clarity and understanding,Things that may seem complicated to most is now simple as butter on toast.
Thanks to you we can now obtain "MasterKnacker" skills
from the one and only ........."THE TOOLER RULER"!!!!!!!!!!. Thank you Sir.
It's because he talks to you like you're a kid.
Just watched a ton of 'how to's' for making benches. This is the one for me. The fact that you're crazy swung the decision for me. Good crazy of course.
I appreciate his eccentricities myself.
Built this for my shop. Easy to follow and a great result! as the title says, Cheap, easy and sturdy. Thank you sir!
No worries at all mate....glad you liked it 👍😁🇦🇺
Good question Aaron with a very simple answer. Because the shelf frame is positioned inside the workbench legs, the end grain on the two short pieces is covered up by the leg. If the leg wasn't there, you would see the end grain. Check out photo number 4 at the end of the video. That will probably explain it better. Thanks for stopping by mate and for the comment. Cheers
How do you get such straight wood , most wood that I buy is warped , twisted or bowed with lists of knots , help.
Hector.....l'm very selective mate.....l go through a lot of wood to get the
stuff l want 👍😁....Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
You’re awesome! So many details and you explain everything, even have all the info in the description! Exactly what I’ve been trying to find, thank you so much for this.
No worries Jewls!....glad you found it useful 👍😁
G'day Brent. Mate you can get brackets that are especially designed to attach the legs to the table frame from any big box hardware store. These brackets enable the legs to be removed easily which makes moving a breeze. Hope that helps. Cheers mate
Very, very helpful! Thanks so much for both the video and the list of parts and dimensions. I have been looking at buying a workbench but they are way over-priced and flimsy. This is affordable and with the help of your video, fairly simple to put together. I will be building this soon. Thanks so much!
Thanks for that Kevin and good luck with the bench. Cheers mate. :-)
Thanks for the feedback Kevin and good luck with the bench. Cheers mate.
the best workbench plans and step by step videos I found were in the *mysecretblueprints. com* vault. materials and supply list are perfectly laid out
Well Uncle Knacker, I am back to revisit this Awesome Video. Becoming entirely tired of the builder who constructs benches utilizing butt joints relying on screws or bolts to bear the weight of the boards. I built my first ever workbench a few years ago at my old apartment I. Biddeford, Maine. I have once again moved, requiring me to build another workbench. The joinery utilized here is phenomenally strong. I also intend to 3 May 2018, to build and overhead bin storage area atop the workbench. Thanks so much again, for posting this video. These joints are ridiculously strong. Lee From Norway,Maine.
Hi Lee, thanks for coming back to revisit the video! Yeah it's pretty good workbench. Mine is still going strong and l love it. Good luck with yours and with the overhead bin. I'm sure it will turn out great! Have a good one mate 👍😁
Very nice and strong........ HOWEVER... You should never glue the top down to the frame. Screws are more than enough to hold that top down. If you ever need to replace that top because of damage or spills or whatever the case may be it will be much easier to remove it just by removing the screws. It would be a fiasco to remove it if it's glued down.
Danny Herrera i say man...millimetre ka??? No inci...
Well yes and no. If you did need to replace the top some day you could always just put another on the top.
G'day NaturaPug. With the 'Knucklehead Factor' calculated into the equation, it should only take a day if that. It's a very simple construction process even for the beginner. Thanks for the feedback mate. Cheers.
I've looked at a lot of these designs, and this is by the far the best so far. Good fundamentals!
Thanks for that Kerrigan. Cheers

shaneconlan1 Just to update, I built my bench following the ideas here, its not exactly the same since my garage is wicked unlevel, but I managed to build in a spot for the chopsaw and a backsplash that can hold a few tools I use a lot. Thanks again, I think I've found a new hobby when it isn't freezing cold in Minnesota.
Can I make a suggestion? A whole lot of my friends are having babies and it would be fun to try and make a reclaimed changing table or something like that. Thanks for the great videos again.
Kerrigan M Well done on the bench Kerrigan and thanks for the idea re the baby change table. Cheers

G'day bradbeemerjr. Mate l glue and screw everything! This bench top will no doubt take a beating, so l wanted it to be really well bonded to the noggins underneath. Thanks for the comment mate. Cheers.
But I don't have a workbench to make a workbench!!
The ultimate dilemma :-)
I know you're just joking but in case someone else actually does have this concern, one of the first fun things to make for a new wood-working hobbyist is a pair of saw horses!
Along with some kind of plyboard table top, that can serve as a temp (or maybe semi-permanent) work station for a while till you get your own table like this one, made up!
G'day DP old son. Glad to see you chime in mate. What a great idea! What can l say, you're an ideas man. How about you set up a workbench (cough cough....embalming table) manufacturing company (using my intellectual property of course), sell a few and we split the profits. As the old saying goes, 'The lion starves last in the jungle'. DP, you'll never starve with innovation like that! I'll pass on your kind regards to the wife. Cheers mate
8:25 Benny Hill time baby!
HAHAHH. It sounds just like it:-)
Yeah give them both a go mate, that way you'll find out what suits you the best. Personally l prefer the circular saw. From a personal point of view, Metric is the way to go. It is far less complicated than imperial as you don't have numbers AND fractions to deal with. Every measurement is read in whole numbers! As l said, it's my personal choice. Cheers mate
I've just completed this as my first woodworking project, and I love it! Great video! I modified mine slightly by adding a second shelf & putting it on wheels, and I'm really pleased with it. Couldn't have done it without this brill video, thanks Uncle Knackers!!
That's awesome mate👍 Well done and thanks for watching 😁👍🇦🇺
Hi Shane, I actually built your work bench and it's fantastic. I used a hand saw and a mitre box, took me two days and despite the significant tolerances the design is so good that is rock solid. Now, how about a high bench chair seat thingy to go with it? I currently use a bar stool!
Great video just started building my mitre saw stand using this approach. I did the cutouts on all 4 of my legs at the same time, made it easier to keep the saw stable, and also faster. Also start the cuts from the end moving in I did it the other way the first time and it came out ugly much more stable cuts out to in. Thanks Shane!
No worries at all Taylor! Sounds like yours turned out great...well done mate 👍😁🇦🇺
G'day shaneconlan1 I'm half way through building a workbench similar to your design, Nice job Knucklehead, Cheers.
Good stuff Paul. Let me know how it turns out. Cheers :-)
Hi Shane; I got sidetracked, but here it is with the top and bottom shelf finally attached.. I used polyurethane on the top and bottom shelf. I didn't put the edge trim on the bottom shelf.

Hi 562392. Not a problem. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
Nice one Shane! the only addition that I personally would make to the bench would be a thin sheet of either ply or mdf on top of the bench, then it can be replaced when damaged, and not have to replace the whole top.
Good stuff Henry. Would love to see the end product when you're done. Cheers mate
Good stuff Gordon. Yeah Phil did make a good point. Keep the comments coming, l appreciate them all. Cheers mate
G'day Toly. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your workbench. It sounds like it's going to be a rippa! Let me know how you go. Cheers mate.
I made this workbench last weekend and it turned out great--thank you so much for your videos. For a newbie to woodwork so many videos overwhelm me with the complicated steps, but you break everything down so simply and yet build things right.
Awesome!...really appreciate the feedback Lisa and well done on the bench 👍😁🇦🇺
Hi Sam. When doing a large project like a workbench when it's bolted and screwed together, glue isn't necessary. You can glue however if you want to. Cheers mate and thanks for watching.
Thanks Andrew. Mate, l had a brief thought of putting on some lockable wheels as l've seen a lot of guys do it, but then l decided against it as l really don't need to move it. Where it is now is where she's going to stay. Thanks for the comment. Cheers
The more I view this clip and process what you are doing the more I enjoy it! I like this very much. What is the cost of the lumber and hardware?
Thanks Andy. I'm sure yours turned out great. The drawers idea is something that l may have a crack at in the future. Cheers mate.
Thanks Carlo. Good luck with your Guitar building course. Cheers mate.
Gday Knackers
I've built this bench. Thanks...love it!
Any recommendations on what to apply to the plywood top for protection. Oil or varnish maybe?
Thanks again
Out of curiosity, did you eventually put castors on this bench you made for ease of mobility or did you leave it static bud? Cheers :-)
Yeah mate... l whacked on some casters to make it more mobile. I made the mistake however of installing cheap ones which were dreadful. I upgraded to a sturdier caster and it's awesome 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads Cheers bud :-)
@@diyforknuckleheads Which casters did you use that you liked?
I'm having a small workshop built and it'll be ready in a few weeks. I am going to try this bench as my first project. I've just bought my first ever circular saw; can anyone offer tips on how to set the blade depth accurately? I'll be using Imperial measurements, so the legs will be two 4x2" glued and screwed together. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment Lloyd. Maybe you can 45 the next one you do? Appreciate your support mate. Cheers
Cheers OnfloorAudio. Appreciate the comment. Cheers mate
If I gotta but the lumber for that project that will run me nearly 1000.00 in Trinidad dollars...lol
Going to build this one today, wish me luck :)
Good luck Bill! 👍😁🇦🇺
G'day TheBearwithchainsaw. Thanks mate for checking out the video. Much appreciated. Cheers
@DiyForKnuckleheads after watching this video twice i cant see how you set up the rails & spreaders for the shelf😔
Please do tell how it was done???? 😳
Thanks B0M0A0K. Appreciate the comment. Cheers mate.
Just come across your videos. . .class!! Keep up the good work big man. Knaaaaaaackeeers!!!! :D
oh yeah your mental and funny. . . top lad!
Thanks Chris. Appreciate it mate. Cheers
Has anyone built this workbench and simply poly'd the top plywood? I just finished the project and don't really want to add another piece of ply or sacrificial wood to the top.
Just a question: is that rim around the top not disturbing when using clamps on it, like with a Festool saw with guides? ( sorry for my English)
Brilliant design, you earned yourself a subscriber! Keep up the good work, cheers!
+JuanA4788 Thanks Juan and l appreciate the sub! Cheers :-)
i love this work bench i cant wait to build my own..... gotta have my garage sale too... LOL.... shaneconlan1 can you post a video on how to attach a pegboard to the workbench so i can hang tools... thanks so much keep the awesome videos coming!!!!
Thanks Lamar. To attach a peg board, all you need to do is screw it to the wall. Appreciate the comment mate. Cheers
No worries mate. Easy mistake. Cheers
Hey Uncle Knackers, Just doing my planning atm for this workbench, seeing how I can make this super bench work for me. I am looking to incorporate a sliding mitre saw section within the bench.. Any straight forward simple tips based on your design do you think would work. p.s you do a great job of explaining things to us newish to the wood working world. It is appreciated.
No worries Smucha...glad you found the video useful. In regard to the mitre saw section, type that into youtube as there a few good vids on the topic. Good luck 👍😁🇦🇺
Hey Knackers, just wanted to let you know that a while back I used this design to build a set of shelves for the shed. I just ran the inside stick of the leg the full height and the outside piece spaced and supported the rails. We sold the house recently and I had to leave it there, it was a tank. The aliens will find it when they're searching through the rubble in a thousand years. They'll have to leave it too. Thanks mate, continuing to enjoy your videos and inspiration. Cheers!
Hahahahaha....good work mate....built to last 👍👍 Thanks for watching the vids 👍😁🇦🇺
Does anyone else want to tape the bird’s mouths shut?! Shut up birds!!! Good bench video though.
Thanks Steve. Good luck with the bench. Let me know how you go. Cheers mate.
Yeah Jon Jon, it makes a great ping pong table as well as a handy weights bench hahhah. Thanks for taking the time to watch mate. Cheers
Been planning to build bench for ages and been looking at lots of different ones on TH-cam , your bench is by far the best for my wood working skills , you keep it simple without compromising on quality ..... great tip knackers 👍🏻
👍....Cheers mate....it is a very simple bench but it works really well....thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Hello,
Tks a million for the good video.. based on this I just made a design for myself (i can share the plans if you would like!). Will be busy assembling next weekend!
Would you recommend some kind of paint in particular to protect the bench from oil liquids etc?
Did you ever work out solutions for the sealing? And did you have any images of what you put together? I'd like to see them.
I have been looking for days to find my first project to do and yours is by far the best I found here.
You keep it simple and affordable and I am so happy you use metric.
I am looking forward to start and please keep posting new projects and videos!
Thanks Gauthier and good luck with your bench. Cheers
Gday Knackers
Mate, I just wanted to thank you. You were the inspiration for my son and I to do our first woodworking project together.
Neither of us are handymen, and we needed to buy most of the tools required.
In saying that it was far from perfect when we finished, but we had a great time learning together.
Thanks again mate!
Really appreciate the feedback Andrew! Glad l could be of some assistance mate. Merry Christmas 👍😁🇦🇺🎄🎄
@@diyforknuckleheads Merry Christmas!
fantastic bench Shane. Too good to use as a workbench mate.
I just made a bench last night for my 3d printer... I kinda just made the design up in my head. I wish I watched this first lol.
+Designandrew If you need to make another one Andrew you know where to go :-)
shaneconlan1 Yeah I already subscribed haha thanks mate
Damn fine workbench you built there :)
Thanks Adisharr. I appreciate the feedback mate. Cheers
No worries Juan. Glad you liked it. Give it a go. I'd love to see the end product. Cheers mate
Excellent plans, mate. Just finished up mine, cheers!
I've watched at least a dozen videos on bench builds, yours was one of the best. Despite not using Imperial measurements I picked up some great tips. I have been accused of over building but now see there are others of the same persuasion. Would like to see more of your builds.
G'day Thomas.....yeah mate, it's a pretty solid table. Mine is still going strong after many years of continual use. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the feedback...very much appreciated. Just letting you know that the Plans that l supply have Imperial measurements as well as Metric. Cheers 👍👍
Awesome video, thanks so much! One issue I'm encountering, however: When drilling the holes for the 4" big bolts, do I drill through the two perpendicular nails already in the board? I went on ahead and tried, and as expected the drill hits the perpendicular nails and just won't go any further. Logistically this is the only issue I've had. Please advise. This is my first-ever project and using your video has proven indispensable. Much appreciated, and great work!
My bad, was doing slightly incorrectly. Works beautifully.
David Graley Good stuff David. I'm glad you sorted it out. Cheers
