Shopfix, for the love of woodworking and everything DIY!
I bought it for use as a sharpening station. Fits the bill nicely.
You’re a Godsend! Just got this yesterday and the instructions made no sense to me! Perfect timing. God Bless!
I’m so glad this video came in handy for you and in perfect timing! Have fun with your new workbench!
I hate printed instructions! Many thanks and easy to follow!
Thx for the video brother,was like hitting the easy button compared to the instruction manual,Good job.
If you have issues with drawers, mine came with the metal guides on in reverse. Simply unscrew and and flip.
This comment needs to be upvoted x1000. I couldn’t figure out why my drawers wouldn’t go on - same issue.
Reverse the guides and it was effortless. Thanks!
Makes an excellent reloading bench
Your video saved me hours of frustration, very well put together!. Yukons book was not easy to follow
Very helpful. Thank you much for your help Sir.
Great video it was so helpful. Thank you so much😂 very well done
Thanks so much. Without your instructions it’s impossible to assemble this one.
Thank you! This was so helpful. The directions were crazy. I guess Im used to Ikea. LOL
You are so welcome! I’m glad it helped!!
Just brought one home. I plan on doing a video. But I'm not assembling it on video. But I will give you a shout out on the assembly. Good job buddy!
I hope your video goes well! And thanks for the support on my video!
@@_Shopfix no problem I did run into a snag. There are two boards missing from the box. I got ahold of harbor freight and they are letting me take two from another box. The video should be done Tomorrow sometime
5:06 oh man, this tip helped out IMMENSELY lol thank you :)
Glad I could help!
It's Acica Wood. It took me about an hour to assemble by myself.
I'm pretty sure there's an error in the included instructions where it says that the middle cross brace is fastened to the sliding partition, but your video confirms this is not actually the case. Thanks!
My thoughts, after using the 4 drawer version of this bench for 1 year:
1) The drawers, if put together properly, will hold up to normal usage. I was not pleased with the use of cheap MDF in the construction and was concerned over them swelling. They have held up so far.
2) The vice racks a lot. It's a terrible vice.
3) The top is too thin to use proper bench dogs or hold fasts of any kind. You can likely find smaller hold fasts, but they will still likely go into your drawers and damage whatever is in them when you hammer your hold fasts.
4) The entire bench will rack when hand planing. You will need to add additional support to the bench to reduce that.
5) It has no room for expansion, like a leg vice or a dead man.
Overall, if you can get beyond the limitations and use it for what it CAN do, its not a terrible first bench. If you want it to be a Roubo or Nicholson style bench, it wont meet your needs.
Thank you!
Thank you! Just put mine together following you. Insurrection where not the best lol 😆
Well Done!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I will never understand why HB instructions are such crap! I’ve subscribed to your channel.
Goat ily bro❤
Do the bottom shelf sides have a slot or just the back?
I want to help you but I’m not sure how to answer! What exactly are you referring to?
Hey I have one of these benches and have been using it and it is great for the money. Due to my workspace I have I am wanting to move the location of the vise from the right side to the left or even more in the front of the bench. Do you think this is a possibility on this bench ?
You can orientate the vice to your liking by flipping the workbench horizontally. However you can’t easily move the vice from front to back because it’s pre mounted and there’s holes that are pre drilled for the vice as well.
What kind of wood is the bench made out of?
I recently came across this Yukon workbench online and was curious about the quality of its construction. Harbor Freight certainly has a reputation for cheaper low end tools but that's not always true. Any thoughts on the bench?
I shared my thoughts on the workbench in this video Harbor Freight Woodworking Workbench Unboxing, Assembly and Review

The drawers are useless. It's too high to sit at and too low to stand at. Regretting the time and swet I put into mine.
You don't need to clamp the drawer bearings just slide all the way bk and it will clickinplace
I cannot make these drawers work. Infuriating!
Are the drawers not sliding onto the rails? Have you tried clamping the ball bearings as I did in the video? Let me know more about the problem you are having so I can help you solve it!
I have the same problem. Drawers work but only with the greatest effort. Interestingly, the same was true of the floor display in the store. I had put three of these together as 4-drawer units without a hitch. I now own two of the 3-drawer configurations and before I put the second one together I thought I'd get another opinion. Whaddaya think?
@@_Shopfix It's like the drawer is too wide for the space on 2 of the drawers
They put the drawer side of the slides in backwards! It took me ordering replacement slides to figure it out . Yes, infuriating!
Had the same problem. The picture in the instructions have the drawer sides mis labeled. Switch the side panels around and they literally will slide right into slots
I bought 2 and neither one came with the connecting nuts! Grrrrrrrrrr..................... He didn't mention the connecting nuts
Those nuts are called cross dowels and you should be able to find them online if not locally.
@@phildalton2958 They should come with the kit.
i also bought 2 but they both came in the kit, i even had spares
