+mistacadogan Definitely no nonsense, no measuring and making math like crazy like other videos and in short I've learn a lot in a simple video like this one and the best part... simple tools that I actually have in hand... awesome video....!!
This is one of the best I've seen so far.. I've been looking around for ideas on how to go about to make a workbench. You've used no machine tools, no saw's no routers no planers no sanders and nothing.... just sand papers, a manual saw.. and driller and the impact driver, and yet the workbench as I could see is sturdy and simple and perfect...
One of the better "how to" videos I've seen on TH-cam. No "umm"s, or "ahh"s, just straight to the point info. Well done. Looking forward to more videos.
When I told my wife I'm was going to make a work bench for the new workshed, she said I would never manage it. I showed her the video and she reckoned even she could do it!One of the keys to success is to plan all the required lengths and get the timber yard to cut them as you get good square cuts. Whilst it may have only taken 20 mins for Tommy it took me 5 hrs, but then I'm no tradesman. In the end it looked great and was really sturdy. I'm chuffed to bits and I certainly earned some brownie points from Mrs H.......Thank you Tommy - keep up the good work
The measurements depend on the size you wish to make your bench. In the video Tommy makes a bench 1800mm long x 800mm wide x 900m tall. I made mine to fit a space at 1800mm long x 600mm wide x 900mm tallso the measurements I needed would have been different to the video. I also added a "splash back " around the back and one side. Finally I did not use the same size timbers as they were not available in my local DIY shop. I used 45mm x 90mm for the legs, 45mm x 70mm for the top frame and 20mm x 145mm for the top and side bracings. Remember these are planed (actual) dimensions not nominal sizes.For the video size, using the timber sizes I bought (which were plenty strong enough for my use) you would need the following lengths:1. 4 off legs at 45 x 95 x 880mm2. 2 off long lengths for top frame 45 x 70 x 18003. 4 off ( 2 for ends and 2 intermediates) short lengths for top frame 45 x 70 x 5104. 7 off (for the table top) 20 x 145 x 1880 - this will give an overhang of 72.5mm on the long side and 40mm on short side, assuming a gap of 5mm between planks.5. 1 off (for the long bracing attached to legs) 20 x 45 x 1750 6. 2 off (for the short bracings attached to legs) 20 x 45 x 510This is one example of many, the actual measurements will depend on the size you want to make the bench and the size of the timbers available to you locally. Good luck in your endeavours.
Again GREAT VIDEO Here in the US we have 4x8 plywood. I would make mine 8 feet long and use 3/4 doubled smooth top plywood for the top, laying the first one down and using a lot of screws to add strength and some rigidity. The top layer of plywood I would screw from underneath and then I would laminate a white fiberboard top to it to keep the top smooth and screw free and easier to clean or sanded and stained and urethaned it. It also makes the top easier to replace Thank you for a GREAT video
My goodness, i feel like I've taken to school!! Can't tell you how great this video is for someone like me getting back into woodworking and needing a basic bench.
Great job Tommy. I agree this is the best video yet on how to make a work bench. Simple, strong, and straight to the point. You got yourself another subscriber.
Andy, the best workbench video I have seen. A pleasure to see a master at work. You built that very fast and accurate. Impressive. This is the design I am going to use to build my first workbench. Thank you, Andy.
Really? I can't believe I just watched the whole thing. You make it look so easy. The contractors I hire are so challenged. This would be an all day project for them. You inspire me and I am going to try.
I'm a rookie when it comes to projects like these and I followed along perfectly even from America :) - what I wished the video had were specific number of pieces of wood for rookies like me - had to convert from Centimeters to Inches but all in all this video worked perfectly for me. I love the bench - I added a bottom storage after to place my circular saw - truly happy I found this video - THANK YOU!
The gentleman in this video works faster than any workman I've ever had round my house!!! Seriously though they're very useful videos these thank you :)
It never fails. I watch one of Tommy's videos and a couple of times along the way he (Andy in this case) gives some simple yet totally "oh crap, that is genius" tip that makes me shake my head and I go flying to my note pad to jot down notes for the weekend. Totally boss channel.
This is has got to be the most practical workbench design i've seen. It's very straight forward. While this might not be the ideal workbench for "fine" woodworking, it's got all you need to get started, you can always build your fancy bench later when you got the skill and experience. Also this is a great design for just a general workshop table.
Hey you have given me a valuable skill that i can use to build me Loft bed. Thanks to ya M8. The construction of this bench gives me a strong list of skills and ideas to build me a sturdy and safe loft bed all the way around. Thank you.
All round excellent video, a good summary of the tools you need at the start of the video, clear and understandable presenter, work by the video camera stable, and a beautiful bench. Thanks for taking the time to put the video on.
the simplest and best, I have been following some woodworking channels, but they tend to use more power tools, as a newbie to woodworking, this video has been very useful.
Thank you for the video. Well explained and demonstrated. Great tips and attention to possible pitfalls and how to avoid them. Keep making many more vids.
A proper chippy would put mortice and tenon braces on the legs, this table would soon start to wobble and the bolts would become loose ,if you put sprung washers on legs this would help. If your going to spend a load of money on nice new woold put some proper joints on the bench and it will be a lot more use.
Thanks very much for sharing this how-to! I'm going to build a bench or two using your exact instructions. The bench looks very sturdy, yet easy to build. Two thumbs-up!
this is the best, easiest and quickest work bench I've ever seen. No clamps, power tools, or additional support. Thanks for the video. When will you have the new site updated to have this work plans? Very impressive. Thanks so much!!
thanks for the info mate! this is how I'll be building mine (eventually)....on the floor, that is. there are so many projects I'd like to build, but with only a fold away work table and an old kitchen work surface on two A frames, nowt is do-able. paul sellers got me back into woodworking, and the wife going to have a 'shit fit' when she see's what the tools are going to cost! :) cheers for uploading this!
This is the work bench i built, it all went to plan except i had to scale it down a bit, it's simple to build and solid. The only alteration i made was to put the coach bolts one through each (external) side of the leg rather than 2 on just the one side. I think this is making it a little more solid than the one in the video. But good vid all the same and thanks for the inspiration. I'm sure my workbench is going to last for a long long time!
I LOVED this video.... Perfect step-by-step for a great, simple workbench!! I am going to subscribe asap and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!!

This is by far one of the best workbench build videos that i've come across. Simple, no nonsense, affordable and to the point!..........Cheers Tommy!
+mistacadogan Thank you for your continued support keep your eyes peeled for new videos coming soon
+mistacadogan Definitely no nonsense, no measuring and making math like crazy like other videos and in short I've learn a lot in a simple video like this one and the best part... simple tools that I actually have in hand... awesome video....!!
I followed your design but made it a lot bigger, but now I can't get it out of the bathroom??
This is one of the best I've seen so far.. I've been looking around for ideas on how to go about to make a workbench. You've used no machine tools, no saw's no routers no planers no sanders and nothing.... just sand papers, a manual saw.. and driller and the impact driver, and yet the workbench as I could see is sturdy and simple and perfect...
Finally a video that shows how to make a workbench without expensive tools and another workbench to use! This is the only video I found like it.
One of the better "how to" videos I've seen on TH-cam. No "umm"s, or "ahh"s, just straight to the point info. Well done. Looking forward to more videos.

The best workbench video on youtube hands down.
No babbling on their videos..straight to the point. Best on youtube.
I like your methodical attitude to your work...a true tradie.
Excellent video - no messing about- straight to the point. Love these videos! I used 2X half inch ply for the table top.
This video was so helpful. Very detailed and informative. Camera caught everything needed. Thanks!!!
My goodness, i feel like I've taken to school!! Can't tell you how great this video is for someone like me getting back into woodworking and needing a basic bench.
Great job Tommy. I agree this is the best video yet on how to make a work bench. Simple, strong, and straight to the point. You got yourself another subscriber.
A pleasure to watch a fellow speed freak at work.Also it is nice to know that someone can still use a hand saw.
Andy, the best workbench video I have seen. A pleasure to see a master at work. You built that very fast and accurate. Impressive. This is the design I am going to use to build my first workbench. Thank you, Andy.
Really? I can't believe I just watched the whole thing. You make it look so easy. The contractors I hire are so challenged. This would be an all day project for them. You inspire me and I am going to try.
hi, I tried to follow your advice to let the saw do the work. But nothing seem to happen.
I'm a rookie when it comes to projects like these and I followed along perfectly even from America :) - what I wished the video had were specific number of pieces of wood for rookies like me - had to convert from Centimeters to Inches but all in all this video worked perfectly for me.
I love the bench - I added a bottom storage after to place my circular saw - truly happy I found this video - THANK YOU!

i like the way you simplified the video - thus making the instruction more fun to watch, more effective.. thanks for this effort, nice guy!
Great straight to the point. and moves along at a good fast pace.

Amazing tutorial. Really skilled guy...

the simplest and best, I have been following some woodworking channels, but they tend to use more power tools, as a newbie to woodworking, this video has been very useful.
Wow this guy really moves and gets things done . Great work bench quick.

I watched this with much joy! Learned a thing or two on building with wood! Thank you!!

Great video Tom, i liked how you started from brginning to end, actually showing how its done. Thank you for posting.
This has to be the nicest work table I've ever seen. Thanks for the video.
A proper chippy would put mortice and tenon braces on the legs, this table would soon start to wobble and the bolts would become loose ,if you put sprung washers on legs this would help. If your going to spend a load of money on nice new woold put some proper joints on the bench and it will be a lot more use.
Fantastic tutorial, Made my first bench today.
keep up the good work
Very nice work,quick and easy,beats waiting time on all the flashy joints.Thank you this will be my next project.
Thanks very much for sharing this how-to! I'm going to build a bench or two using your exact instructions. The bench looks very sturdy, yet easy to build. Two thumbs-up!
Great the placement of the Screws, was the last thing I needed to work out, this helps me immensely 🙂👍

Excellent tutorial, just curios why you left the spacings between the top timbers?
Top job, Andy. Simple but sturdy work bench.
Amazing! I want to make a coffee counter unit, but will use these principles! Very sound! Thanks a lot
Great video...helped me massively to build my workbench for a fraction of the price it would cost to be made and is a brilliant help!!! Thanks alot!!
This guy is a born teacher.
That's one straight down to the business video, you sir are The MAN!
Simple. Easy stages. Brilliant. Thanks
nice concise video, so much so only went and built one for myself!
thanks for the info mate! this is how I'll be building mine (eventually)....on the floor, that is. there are so many projects I'd like to build, but with only a fold away work table and an old kitchen work surface on two A frames, nowt is do-able.
paul sellers got me back into woodworking, and the wife going to have a 'shit fit' when she see's what the tools are going to cost! :)
cheers for uploading this!
simple , doable & right to the point , thankssssss
Thanks for this video. It is the best how to I have ever seen on a workbench.

Best video on how to build a workbench on you tube!
Very easy to follow and straight forward
Brilliant cheers Tommy
Thanks great video, very good demonstration, simple and clear.
Again many thanks.
Fair play that bloke sure does fly through a build. And does a great job!
This is the work bench i built, it all went to plan except i had to scale it down a bit, it's simple to build and solid. The only alteration i made was to put the coach bolts one through each (external) side of the leg rather than 2 on just the one side. I think this is making it a little more solid than the one in the video. But good vid all the same and thanks for the inspiration. I'm sure my workbench is going to last for a long long time!
I was thinking the same thing about those 2 screws.
Excellent video, very clear and experienced demonstrater.
very nice , without expensive machines and right to the point, nice one mate, topman
Thanks Andy(TTS). I want to go build one right now!
Great vid! Two questions: why did you install cross-members longer edge horizontally? And why leave the gaps between top timbers?
Thanks Tommy going to build one this weekend.
The best tutorial on making a bench ....
Great video. You have given me confidence to make one myself! Thanks
This is an excellent, easy design. I'm going to make this!!!
