Hi Robert. Love the video and the workbench. I went ahead and bought the plans and they look so perfect, I think even I can handle it! 😂
Sorry if I missed it, but can you tell me what the final height is with the 5.5" casters? I'm short, but also want something I can use standing up or with an adjustable chair, so I want to adjust the measurements for the legs as needed. Thanks!
@@RobertJKeller what is the final height of the workbench with casters?
The final height is going to depend on the exact casters that are used. It would be caster height + 28 7/8"
@@RobertJKeller perfect. Thank you!
Ordered! Thanks!
Fantastic video. No bullshit, no overdone intro, no music, no boring narrative, and a perfect ending.
ESELENTE trabajo sin ABLAR muncho

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't need to know anyone's life story, or how many kids they have, or that the sawdust smell reminds them of their granddad if I'm here to get some tips on building a table!
Love the simplicity of this video. Straight to the point. Well edited. No filler commentary. Good bullet points. Just a plain saw and drill nothing fancy. Very easy to follow.
You kept this simple and straight forward. On a level most of us can relate to. No Planing, No Joining or other equipment, other than the basics. Thank you.
Great book for a beginner . th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
Its nice to see a workbench build that doesn't require a pocket hole jig, planer, and a bunch of workworking tools.
Thank you very much. You made the table in a simple and easy way for beginners. Most of the carpenters on TH-cam do it in a complicated way and with tools that are not available to the beginner. Thank you from the heart
At half the size, it took me almost half a day to build mine, and I'm glad I read some of the comments first, so I left an overhang for the top on three sides. Thanks for this good idea.
I really like the simplicity and the strength this workbench/outfeed table provides. Thank you for sharing it with us!
A small tip, if I may. When cutting the top, leave a 1" overhang on the front. That way it's easy to dust off as you'll have a little lip to put a dustpan under. It is also nice to have an overhang for clamping lumber with a quick-grip clamp. Your "L" shaped legs are a neat idea. Nice vid!
Plus you can use clamps on the sides of that overhang, I found this out by accident when I built my table a few years ago.

I just did this build yesterday. Made a couple size mods for my needs, but otherwise the same. I am really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.
Clever ending. I love the combo of demonstrating the build quickly and linking to the PDF plans. It's unique and helpful. So many on here gab on and on forever with fancy intros, music, etc. I prefer no BS
Excellent. Simple and to the point. Not a lot of fancy jigs and cuts needed like others I saw. Perfect for a beginner like me. Keep ‘em comin’.
Great to see a decent beginner friendly bench to get the workshop up and running. Been using a fold up painter/papering table, but it's time for an upgrade. Good video, and love the end.
With the wooden one you don't have to fold it up and slide it between garage cabinets.As long as the garage has room for your wife's car.
I’m just starting to get into woodworking and used this video as the inspiration to build my own worktable, but made a few minor adjustments. For the legs, instead of using 28-1/8” 2x4’s, I used 4x4’s cut to 30”. The rest of the frame is 2x4’s cut 71” wide by 34” deep. For the top, I had a sheet of 1” plywood left over from my bathroom remodel several years ago, so I cut that down to size and used it. It’s attached to the frame from underneath using twenty 3x3” metal brackets. With the casters, it’s the same height as my table saw. It’s big and heavy but rock solid, and overall I’m very pleased with how it turned out. Thanks.
How’s it holding up? 20 3x3 brackets?? I know what hardware overkill is and just the weight of the fasteners alone for that is worthy of recognition.
Alright. Adding metal brackets to the list.
Looking for an easy DYI work table, and 8 came across this. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Easy, quick and not terribly expensive. Great job and thanks for uploading this!
And there isn't a bunch of crap music and shots of the shop dog.
@@deangrichter7502 I'm ok with shots of the shop dog, it's the crap music that bothers me in these type of videos. I do prefer the quiet ones that just get the job done though.
Do yours itself
Like it 👍🏻
I’m a plasterer and timber framer by trade and this is exactly how I build stuff. From studwalls, partitions, cupboards, decking, pergola’s even a garden shed 🤣 no nonsense just the right sized timber and some good straight cuts.....and of course screws 😃
I assembled a shed with these plan [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The guidelines were clear and simple to execute. Indeed, even an amateur can have the capacity to construct quite fast using this plan. I'm glad I purchased the plan. It additionally spared me much cost.?
Thanks for this idea. I made my new table yesterday, after this video. It takes me really about one hour.
Thanks for the video and free plans! You're the first channel I check out for woodworking ideas, plans, guidance, and learning. Thanks for doing it.
I love the simplicity of this video, nothing fancy and straight to the point. Many thanks.
Terrific video. Love the sound. And an enormous thank you for NOT adding a mindless electrobeat soundtrack.
Thank you. Built my workbench today. Obviously, took a lot longer than one hour for me. Came out very good for a first woodworking project.
Perfect tutorial. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Nice video, nice bench. No elevator music, just some angry turkeys 🦃
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Fantastic video and plans document. I've got very little experience but once I got the materials, I finished this in weekend. Thank you Robert.
You and your power drill/driver make it look so easy.
Thank you for sharing these plans!! Made mines and man, couldn't be happier! Very strong and perfect for my needs. I will be customizing mines with a table saw and will be doing a flip top in the middle for my miter saw.
Thanks again!!
English may be your 2nd language, so let me help a bit. "Mine" does not have an "s," even though you may have heard some pronounce it that way. It should NOT be pronounced with the "s" sound either.
LOVE THIS! Too many workbench videos are too complicated and they to make a piece of furniture. THIS IS A WORKBENCH! This is how I build them. BUT my first ones were built like this, my subsequent ones left the plywood surface overhang by about 4 inches so a hand clamp can grab the edge and hold down parts.
Just built this work bench this past weekend. Made some adjustments, but for the most part, followed the plans. Worked out great.
No talking, no music, and no "face time" (gawd I hate that!). Great video!
I really liked this video especially the ending A+
After much reading about different benches online, I decided on this one to build. I am no super woodworker, just you average DIY'er. It worked brilliantly, and although it took longer than an hour for me to make, it was a great experience based on watching the video several times. All of the difficult bits we obvious from this. Just built a smaller version for the mitre saw as well, in much nearer the hour. Did the original bench with recycled wood, at a cost of less than £75 UK including big braked casters. Thank you exactly what was needed. Keep it up. Just got to decide what I try next :)
Ok, well, my husband and I made your 1 hour table. Pattern is easy if you follow your directions but we decided to add the drawers as in your other video. We made it longer and wider and put 3 large drawers on each side. Took more than two weeks. Love it! Thanks for the ideas!
Very well done, thanks for taking the time and including the cut-list in the description.
Rob Bastien were you hoping he was going to do this with hand tools?
Thanks for the video. I've looked at several that started out simple enough, but quickly went beyond my skill level at this point. This will be my second project.
New to woodworking and needed an out feed table and workbench. Not counting shopping for lumber actual buildout took 1.5 hours. Simple video easy to follow straight to the point.
This is a DIY project I am willing to try, beacause it is so simple to follow and straight to the point. Thanks for this!
Great video, simple and straight to the point 👍 Seen lots of workbench videos but this is the one I'm using as a guide for my own bench. Instead of putting bracing around the outside of the legs I'm going to put it inside so I can mount a lower shelf for storage.
That ending definitely did it for me.!
Good morning Robert, yesterday I finally got around to building this workbench. I needed to alter the length of the legs so that the workbench matched my table saw which is free standing for now. Very simple plans to follow. Thank you....Patti
Great video!! Easy & affordable & built better than the expensive benches at the store. That table will out live you.
Very simple and practical. Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for the video.. probably took u all day to save me from a wobbly disaster. Took an hour exactly. Straight as an arrow.
My first project and it turned out perfectly. Love it. Thank you.
Simple, useful and well done. I made one (without the wheels), for my drill press... Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Sometimes it doesn't have to be fancy as long as it works.
Entertaining video! 👍
Wow, thank you for this. I am going to build this. This is perfect.
I did not plan to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but instead curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. I was seeking to learn more about the art of woodworking, and was not disappointed. I found many topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.
I've searched the internet for hours looking for a simple affordable workbench that i can make with the minimal tools i have and i think i finally found it, thank you so much kind sir.
also that bit at the end was great, definitely have to sub now
Perfect. Thanks for not making this so complicated. This is the best tutorial I have seen!
I loved it all, specially the "signs" at the end!!! :)
Agreed. Sign made me subscribe 🙂
great build for beginner, retired hobbyist here, wish l saw this video before a couple of others, Built two work benches came out ok but really enjoyed the watch and the ease of this.
tof
Slick. Clean looking bench and no screwing around.
I got your plans and made it. 😊 It is the very first thing I have ever built. Thank you so much for such helpful plans and video!
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I’m going to add a plywood bottom though before adding the top, that way you have storage underneath it for saws and stuff, overall great video!!
Excellent idea! Thought about doing that myself, I might do drawers instead though.
@@RobertJKeller why not both?
I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this video. But if you make those support on the inside of your work bench legs you can do two things, 1, still add support to table legs and 2 you will have a ledge to attach a storage shelve underneath the bench. Great video. Thanks for posting
Wow! Even I can make that. Maybe I'll add glue and brackets but this is very doable for me and exactly what I need. Thank you!
You sir being me joy when I watch your videos! Great job!
Nice touch at the end. LOL I just bought a new Delta table saw and this simple table is my next project! I have been getting frustrated looking at free plans for outfeed tables but they are all way too elaborate for what I need. This fits the bill perfectly! Thanks!
I appreciate this video so much! So glad I found it! I'm new to all this and have been looking for a simple workbench build without having to do pocket holes or something else more complicated! I love the style of the video too...not all that talking with all the "I and my"....for example: "I cut with my miter saw" ...I know they just trying to explain what they done, but sometimes it sounds like they bragging about their tools... LOL! Anyways, Thank you so much!
Bought the plans and made the workbench this afternoon! Awesome. Thank you.
Love it , simple and quick . Well done .
Made my first work bench yesterday. I'm so proud of myself😁. Being that It's my first project it actually took me 2 hours. It was simple no complications, and I learnt as I went along. It's strong and sturdy to do my other projects. Thanks for your help.
Are you continuing your woodworking?
How did your workbench do over the past 6 months?
And that's how you keep a viewers attention, good job
What an awesome video. It was a pleasure watching you work. This video is all I need to make my table. I bought the plan. Thank you very much.
Came across your channel. I love what you built. I’m a novice and will try to build this. Thank you and more power!
It's good & sturdy!! Thank you for sharing!! From S.Korea
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Awesome build. I used your design but added a couple of cross members and glue to support the plywood so it does not sound like a kettle drum. Also added a 5" block of 2x4 to the ends of the legs to support the 3rd screw hole on the casters.
Thanks
Yeah, cross members a must and so easy it's not worth missing them out.
Straight to the business . This is the proper way to demo a build . This guy rocks !
This is the way.
Beautiful to watch! Lots of good ideas
Personally, I totally agree with you. This simplicity really works. Strong enough to hold everything together for years. People should 'keep it simple stupid' KISS. Get it done and out of the way! Thanks so much for sharing your vid. Stylish ending!
I like these kinds of tables better than the fancier ones folks have posted. My grandfather used to throw these kinds together all of the time. It doesn't bother you to mar, scuff, drill or saw into these. I'd hate to have one that took a week to complete and has a lacquered surface to look nice because I'd be afraid of ruining it with a simple project by cutting or drilling into it. _These_ are actual carpenter benches; the others are just glossy wannabes tossed online to attract subscribers with "Oooo! So pretty!" comments. I'd much rather have one of these. You can _actually do work_ on one of these. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 very true. In my country Thailand, no professional carpenters use fine looking tables. They just put up quickly plywood tables and work from that in their occupation. Hard and sturdy and adequate to get work going. And all their table saw are quickly make-shift, almost impromtu version that they put together in 2-3 hours. Not that I agree at all in the safety aspect, but it just does the work for them for many generations. Haha
@@Jartisann Half the time, the closest I have to a workbench is a 1"x12" plank laying across two saw horses. Like you said, it ain't pretty, probably isn't safe, but it gets the job done.... if just barely. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 Also looks like it would be easy to modify to add a table saw if you wanted to.
David Roman I was thinking the same thing for my sliding miter saw!!! I just downloaded the plans but I won’t be making it as big as the one he built here. I’m looking forward to putting this thing together.
This is perfect! The video was also very clear, so good job editing. Will use this when I have space to make one :)
Parabéns pela praticidade e rapidez na construção desta mesa!!!!! Valeu.... vou fazer uma também!!!!
Great work...I really like this 1st fix style of working for jobs like this. Simple, effective and strong. All the best....Tom
A nice bench where someone like me who doesn't have a planer could actually build! Thanks.
What a supreme video and bench, love the ending cut....CUT! and subcribe, well done. I have a chop saw and that's about it. I can make this awesome bench, thank you RK.
Peace from Halifax
I loved this. The haphazardness of this reminded me of myself! Nice build. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for showing me this video I have just built this bench and had trouble mounting my casters but seeing how you did it I got it now. Thanks
This video was excellent & hysterical, I LOVE the sound effects, lol. Thank you & I will check out your other projects!
The end is cool with messages on planks
I’ve been watching people make workbenches for more than an hour.
no talking, sped-up video.... perfect!!
Thanks for this video Robert. I’m a newbie and just got the plans from your website and built my first workbench.
Quick and effective, nice build!
Just built my workbench based on this design! i finished the top with some poly to keep the ply looking nice. thanks for the video and inspiration!
Glad it worked out!
Very practical and easy design for a workbench! Congratulations
Dang! Well done friend!! 😃👍
I was eatching this video and it all made sense. Im new to woodworking and when I see videos like this they go way to fancy smacy, this video was simple and to the point. Great job bro. Be safe and god bless.
thank God someone who doesnt insist on showing us loud sanding, table saw, blah blah, with tools most of us dont have, just get on with it already!! Thank you just what I like to see, straight to the point no nonsense
Great video! You've inspired me to give this a try. The best part is that the tools you're using are super accessible and beginner friendly. I was worried you'd whip out a $5000 planer or something very specialized, but this looks feasible with a basic circular saw and drill. Thank you!
I think I saw some hand planers on eBay when I was researching tools. If your a poor chum line me then that might be a good route
I’m a newbie and the amount of videos that say ‘cabinets the easy way’ and he’s got all these crazy machines 😂
Nice & simple, I have a space in my shop that may be getting a new table now. Thanks.
I like how you drew the line down the top to mark the centerline for the screws.Great idea!!!
Precise and to the point. Well done. Thank you.
For any Brits who find this vid, I made this with 15 lengths of Wickes 2.4M 38mm x 89mm CLS timber and 200 Wickes 65mm deck screws, total £74.40 Construction was the same as shown but I used 10-off 170cm pieces for the top which makes it really solid and installed an additional 3 noggins to support the length of these. For the build I chopped 70cm off of each piece for the legs (8-off), side supports (4-off) and top noggins (3-off) then doubled up the front top stretcher to support the 10th top piece and give me a table top 170cm x 89cm. The other difference in my build was to glue all the joints with waterproof D4 PVA (Toolstation) since my table is going to live outside; also I pre-drilled (not pilots) before screwing as it found this pulled in all the joins better I then liberally coated it in Sika clear wood preserver (Screwfix). It’s an easy to build, really solid bench which took me 3 hours because of the glueing and the compound top.
Noggins? For the Colonials reading this, what is a noggin?
And what is a Wicke?
Damn, I need a workbench to build my workbench. 🤔
Nah. Just a tailgate.

Cut a smaller sheet for the bottom and make a storage self on the bottom, where you can place tools while working.
And if you need to sit and work,you can put your legs under the table!
This is the best ending ever
the ending is sublime!
Wow! Well done!
