Best demonstration for novices so far. I have been playing with the idea of my to my own woodworking shop and have been scoring builds on youtube for years. Thank you for this💕🇯🇲🇬🇧
Very nice and sturdy workbench. I would like to redo my reloading center with 4x4 posts and notches now. Made my reloading bench years ago with 2x4 posts and no notching. Thank you for this well demonstrated bench build.
I love this technique on the top. When I did mine, I used 3/4" plywood and built it up with 3/4" stock and did a cap on the edge. I could do it this way because my framing was all 2×4 16" on center which made it really solid as well. Great job on this complete project as always Josh. 🔨👍🏻
Good idea with the 16 o.c framing. Thats similar how I did the outdoor kitchen for strength. Always wanted to build a workshop top with pine board so I did it with the techniques. I learned in my early 20s working for a wood shop. I appreciate that David. Thanks for stopping by!
I love the build, but you should have placed a moisture barrier between the wood and concrete. Concrete constantly wicks moisture from the underside soil, which will rot your contact points over time.
Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
How you going to square up the legs off the 2x4's when you never ran the 2x4's through the jointer? Construction lumber especially 16ft 2x4's are not straight!
instead of all that cutting and chiseling out the 4x4 post. It's a lot faster and used to be cheaper to use 2 2x4's attached together. Cut one 3.5" shorter and you've got your notch.
Let me start off by saying it's a nice looking workbench. But I don't think it will stay like that for long. A biscuit will help with alignment during the glue up, but will do nothing for wood movement in the future. So the top of this is likely to become very wavy. The two by sixes should have also been face jointed before running them through the planer. The planer may take off some of the cupping, but does nothing for any bow that is in the board. The planer will just follow it. Any material that is milled needs to acclimate to the shop before being glued together. Especially when it's soft pine. The base of the work bench would have been much better built from any kind of stable sheet goods. I realize you were trying to probably build this a little cheaper, but paint grade plywood from your local plywood dealer is not that expensive. Using 2x4 and 4x4 for the base will probably twist and bow in the future also. Please understand I'm only going for constructive criticism here. I mean no offense, like I said, it's a nice looking workbench. I just think you're going to have some issues in the future.
you can just skip all the nonsense of 2" lumber top and just use MDF or preferrably Melonite 4' x 8' sheet material. Much simpler and easier, plus you dont need a planer. Jointer or biscuit
My goodness, you need some practice with the chisel!! You tell your viewers to notch it out and make it smooth but yet you have-em looking like a beaver went to town on em!! I was wondering how you were going to support the top without any other cross bracing! Im surprised your boards didnt cup once they were tightened with the pipe clamps, you need to add clamps to the top as well. Next time add painters tape to your pipes to make clean up from the glue easier! Are you new to woodworking?

That is the most amazing work bench I've ever seen. I'm floored right now! Amazing work!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. I have another bench video coming out Sunday. Stay tuned!
Awesome video as always!, always find myself learning new techniques… and ahem being fixated by the view at times 🤭
Very detailed and nicely explained for a D.I.Yer to understand. Love your work and greatly appreciate time and effort you put in to make these videos.
Great video, a 16' workbench is exactly what i need in our conex. you should be a teacher. bravo, new subscriber
Nice work sir, love your videos. You make it easy to understand what you are doing at each step and why.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video easy to follow.
Great build!

@TheExcellentLaborer I agree on the 2×6 and also using biscuits. The only way to go for sure. Keep up the great work Josh. 🔨👍🏻
I guess I missed the previous video. I'll have to check it out.
Sure! Here’s the previous video th-cam.com/video/E-vpLAvUt_Q/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps!

I have a block garage. How would you attach to the block? Tapcons with washers or something more?
Yes! Tapcons would be great for that application. Good luck with your project!
Like your build. Would screwing a 2x4 cleat to the wall work just as good than making the rear legs?
Yes, you could certainly do that. May not be a strong, but would work. Hope that helps!
Will you be posting the plans for Workbench? Asking for a friend, lol.

How far apart are the outlets? Are the outlets on separate circuits?
The outlets are about 2 to 3 foot apart. All of them are on the same circuit. I hope that helps!

Where is the video for the mobile work bench?
I am currently editing that video. It will be out Sunday. Stay tuned!

That's why!
