DIY Mobile Workbench & Compact Woodworking Station | Miter Saw, Table Saw, & Planer | Small Garage

- This is the first video in a series where I am attempting to build what I am calling the ultimate mobile workbench & woodworking station. I work on projects in our small two car garage that we like to use to store our cars. So I am attempting to create a workbench that functions as the all in one workbench that is compact, provides storage for all of my woodworking tools, and allows me to use these tools with minimal setup.
In this video I assemble the frame, install the casters, miter saw, table and planer. I have plenty to add to this workbench in the future plan to including more tools, storage, and dust collection.
If you have any questions or any feedback about the workbench please let me know in the comments

Thank you for all of the feedback and questions! Part 2 th-cam.com/video/7NEJQortCtU/w-d-xo.html is done and maybe this will help. Even then this workbench is not done and any more suggestions would be appreciated.
This looks great! Is there a material and cut list for this?
As far as the planer goes, would it be possible to shift it around 90 degrees so that you could use the entire underside of the bench as an "outfeed table"? It's hard to tell how much clearance you have, but it's just a thought.
Do you have plans (can be sketch) with main dimensions? Could share it?
them are some fancy 2x4's

*calmly sends sawdust towards Z06*
lol Ya it was either dust or the snow and sleet outside. My thought was that was the lesser of two evils. Probably need a good car cover.
I know! I was like ummmmm. I have to move the BMW every time i start wood working. When I had a Z06 I had to move her. No snow in Texas tho lol
That killed me!!!!
Something tells me it encounters much worse than that just driving to get coffee
Delta planer??? Did you mean Dewalt planer..... Delta table saw??.
Overall it’s a decent table. If you’re not using it for big heavy projects. Its gets unstable when using my jigsaw and handsaw. Table starts to shake and lifts off the ground. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?Also the folding mechanic works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh when setting up, but I can’t get the table to fold down. It gets stuck 3/4ths on the way down.
Couple suggestions. 1. Remove the cross beam that supports the table saw legs in the back and make two 45s that connect to the legs and holds up the table saw legs. Frees up the dust collection port and outfeed end to fold up on your planer. 2. Put a folding outfeed table on piano hinges that lays in the back but could fold up with a strong brace so you don't drop all your cuts onto the ground behind the table. Great consolidated table you made there!
Best detailed bench design, construction and assembly I’ve seen. I am a “work in progress” shop and space is my biggest challenge, other than never enough time. Very well done, most impressed!
Just came across this video after I built my own custom mobile workbench to hold my table saw and mitre saw. Mine is wider and shorter with storage compartments so I don’t get sawdust all over my tools. I love it and it’s absolutely necessary for small spaces. Plus, I keep all sawdust out of the garage by cutting outside
Thanks for including your "mistakes" if you can even call em that, its refreshing to see, the build gave me great ideas too 👍👍
You sir made it look easy,would love the plans for this unit if possible,As an old man I can say that your students are very lucky to have you and with what you have done is taught an old dog some new tricks.Good show looking forward to more.
Your video popped up, I watched it and I muttered, "This guy should be a technology teacher" and, yes you are! Retired teacher here and after years of lesson plans and instructional planning, I know the effort it takes to explain things thoroughly. Your videos get a whole bunch of 'A's. You makes us proud.
I can't believe you're woodworking with that Vette in the garage!!!
Would be absolutely wonderful if you could supply a parts list for the whole think including wood as well as tools, and plans to assemble. Would love to have someone make this for my husband for Father's Day or our anniversary! Well designed and great demonstration videos!
Some measurements will change based on the table saw, miter saw and planer you have. Highly doubt everyone has the same exact equipment. Tons of other setups out there that even include a spot for a router.
Trust me, your husband would want to make it himself. That's a really sweet gesture. Willing to bet he would absolutely appreciate you finding a few different ones and you two working together on making one, letting him take the lead on what he wants of course. Some husband's would rather chill in the garage by themselves and be left alone but many of us husbands absolutely appreciate a supportive helpful wife that gives us the space but support to do things like this. Heck just bringing me some water is a big deal as I build those shelves you wanted for the pantry, ya know? My wife has very rarely helped, volunteered etc but the few times she has, I've never forgotten and truly appreciated it.
Great ideas and great bench. The only thing that I would change would to be putting the planer below the mitre saw. That way you could put dust collection below the table saw and install a covered storage drawer below the table saw with room for the hose.
Beautiful job! And so well thought out! I envy your choice of table saw. I carefully and strongly considered it, but I didn't realize it could be broken down like that, and I wanted to do a similar workbench with built in tools. So I opted for the DeWalt saw, I really liked the rack and pinion fence. But the aluminum top has been a disappointment, and if I could undo that decision, I would! I am currently working on my workbench as well, mine is 4' x 7', I'm fortunate enough to have a larger then average garage! I'm putting my DeWalt planer on a separate flip cart with my sander. But the one tool I would suggest you add would be a router with a lift. I'm building that into mine, with a t-track fence. I think you'd find that really worthwhile! I look forward to seeing what else you do!
This is exactly what I need for my limited space. Great job!
Nice more compact build for those of us with smaller garage space! Saving this.
Own a house finally and my handy man bailed! I ended up getting a lot of tools and actually found I enjoy wood working and remodeling! My Garage though is a mess at the moment, but once I clean? I am doing this. 100%. Can't wait till it gets warmer! Awesome video!
I just bought my first, used, delta shop master tablesaw. Watching this to get an idea to build a bench asap. Thanks for this.
I would add a flip up/down out feed table on back for the table saw. And another flip up/down side table next to your miter saw so it is easier to cut long pieces.
That stand will last for years. Nice built combo work station and safe space. Nice so far.
Good, thoughtful design. I agree with the choice of tools - and the reasoning. The planer is a sweet machine, too.
Loved your project and what you did with your Delta table saw. I bought my Delta table saw 36-1501 T2 three years ago and been in love with it ever since. You inspired me to make a bench similar to yours. Thank you for sharing.
This is very timely for me. :) my workshop has been on lock down for two years now. First we discovered mold in the house and my brother in law got a big carried away on the remodel project. So anything that was in the house had to go somewhere. and my little shop was called into duty. Then the pandemic came rolling in. So we are just now getting started on pulling out of the shop, sorting on what to keep and what not to keep, and I'm slowly getting my shop back. It needs a lot of help and new benches.
Sorry to hear that I hope that you come up with stuff that works well for your needs
Great to finally see a work bench build that integrates the Delta 36-725T2. I just bought one of these and have had a very similar bench design in my head that I hope to begin work on soon. Mine will not include room for my miter saw but I do plan on adding dust collection, drawers, and storage for things like push sticks, saw blades, the fence, and my sled. Obviously I am sure it will end up holding more. Looking forward to seeing how your work bench comes a long!
Awesome to hear! I am going to see how much I can fit in this one and I hope yours goes well!
The little slight nod of contempt and acknowledgement when that half of the bench falls down - I felt that so much lol. Know that exact feeling
Great job...I have virtually the same tools and space I am trying to plan for and ran across this video trying to decide how I am going to organize workflow and this is perfect!! As others have mentioned a set of plans would be great and I'm sure you could get paid for your efforts. Thanks!
Excellent mission plan.
Outstanding execution.
Looking forward for for part 3 .
Oh how I need the plans and lumber list for this. Great job.
I love the planer under the table saw. If you rotated it you could use the bottom of the bench as an out feed for it, but probably not necessary. One idea I do have is the far right corner behind the miter could have been extended out a bit so that a drill press could be mounted on it. That planer is on my want list.
Both of those are great ideas. I believe in part 2 there is a lot more added to the bottom also a drill press, band saw or sander is not off the table yet. Ya I really like mine so far. Not cheap but does a great job.
Great work! My only opinion is I would’ve made them separate but still able to put them flush up against one another to save space. I would like the option of being able to move the table saw around and using rollers for ripping longer pieces of wood. Same with the miter saw and I’m not particularly fond of having to bend over to use the plainer either. Then you could have the storage underneath for each thing having their perspective attachments, blades, tools for switching parts out, etc. Plus with separating them, it wouldn’t be as hard to move them around. Just my two cents!
who else felt pain watching the Z06 get covered by saw dust
Great timing. I’m in the middle of a similar build. I have an older Craftsman table saw. I built a platform for it and did not think about hanging it from the rails. Now I’m working on leveling the table saw top and the bench. For the miter saw, it is located more in the middle of the table. The plan is to remove the miter saw and store on bottom when not in use. I’ll swap in a spacer and I’ll have the whole top as a work surface when the miter saw is stored. Table saw dust collection will be a 90 deg connected to a side panel and a shop vac. Underneath storage will also include my rarely used scroll saw. Future upgrades will be a blade storage, tool/accessory storage and possibly hooks for sled storage. I look forward to your future upgrades.
Sounds like yours is going to be pretty sweet!
Have been planning something like this for a while. You've given me some great ideas. Thank you
Love it.
Same thought I have on most of these it would be handy to show the finished product at the beginning so we can understand the context of the middle 90% of these how-to videos
Overall I really like the layout. The length could be shorter without the storage, but I like you do not need to move the miter saw. I think because I have the Dewalt Table saw, I will have more room for my future planer. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this.
Good job. Excellent use of space
Thank you. Needing to organize my shed and a workbench on casters would be super helpful
Good choice on theTruewerk gear !
I’ve been wanting to make a bench for my miter saw for a long time. Love the idea of including my table saw in to it
That's a sweet bench. Thanks for sharing!
Nice shirt brother!!
Definitely a great work table design. Would also be nice to have a router table incorporated as well.
I like how you share your idea's were others leave a link to pay for their plan's. Those i ignore when your starting up a workshop you want advice and help from those that know with experience.great vid.and this will help me in my build. Thank you
Add some shelving to the bottom and middle, install a small air compressor, use the shelves for your staplers, screw shooters, etc. great work
This video is exactly what I need. I have the exact same models of all 3 tools (table-saw, planer and miter saw) and also the same issue, where I'm working out of a small area of my garage, so everything needs to be mobile. I'm definitely interested in building this and I'm looking forward to seeing what you have next. Might I suggest a folding outfeed table on the back? Hopefully Part 2 is up soon! Nice job.
I would love to see videos of projects you do with your students.
It is a great work bench! 11:30 Put the planer under the miter saw.
This is a great work bench! More detailed than I thought, but I see why! I too have a small garage and am thinking of building one to make greater use of space (hence watching your video). Thank you for posting this!
Can't believe you generated all that sawdust with your car right there!
This is awesome. I’m gonna copy this for my Dewalt table saw, miter saw, and planer
I know your videomis about a year old, but it's exactly what I was looking for! By the way, as a fellow Z06 owner, I almost had a heart attack watching you cut the wood next to yours!!
nice bench, great integration of a good quality mitre saw and table saw. I would probably want a bench vice and some clamping options
This is amazing. I would love to build this.
Nice job. Great no nonsense presentation. 🙂
Wow what a great job. Lots of thought put in the build.
I like the idea of adding a router. Another idea I saw, one that I wish I could take credit for, is attaching miter saws, drills, etc. onto their own drawers/shelves that slide into their respective slots when used and slide into a cabinet when not being used. This idea would also free up bench top space. An idea I've been playing with because I have limited space in my garage is taking that four by eight table plan most people use and somehow making it so it unfolds into a sixteen foot bench. My garage is long and narrow, one vehicle wide, I'm not sure if yours is long enough for this idea or deep enough if you want to put it on the back wall. Thanks for the video, can't wait to see the next parts. Curt
From what everyone is saying I think the router table is a must. I also like the idea of other machines that could attach to the workbench either on a folding table or a french cleat style mount. Thanks!
Real smart, beautiful car not covered
Looks like a really fun project. Built a greenhouse in glulam beams and 4 mill tough glass. Came out really nice as well
I want to see it!
Ok, everyone else in the comments already heaped praise on the awesome bench and your excellent teaching skills, so I'm just going to say, 'Nice Cleetus McFarland t-shirt at the beginning of the video.' Hellllllll Yaaaaaaaaa Brother!
I like it. I need to take my tools to TN here and there. I might try to build this so i can still remove and travel. Thanks for the inspiration!!
You should make the miter saw a removal shelf that slides out, then you could swap out different tools, ie router, planer, scroll saw etc attached to their own bases. You would only need to have rails at different heights so each tool's cutting surface is flush with the table top. Then you could build a 24x24x8ft tall rack to store all the tools attached to their bases so they're easily accessible for fast swap. I have a couple of projects ahead in the queue before I get building it, but I've been mulling around a similar concept as your table for a while now. Thanks for the ideas.
Seeing your comment it's exactly what I was thinking too. That would truly make this a multi tool workbench.
I love it - cant wait for a cut list/plans.
As soon as I'm done I will attempt to make the plans available
DIY for carpenters... Not the average Joe without those tools.
I like it. A little refinement and I could see it being quite useful. I would maybe put the planer in the middle on the same slides. And then use the space underneath the table saw for other tools.
wow, those 2x4 look much better after planing
This is great, would love to see the finished version! I think this is the best all in one station I have seen and actually makes me want to make one!
I agree. TTT is doing a great job and he is nice enough not just to be showing off... But to display it all in a way I can try to make one too. Dude... With this table there are a lot of possibilities... I would love to have a setup like this and a flip table Drill press / scroll saw
What a diverse channel. Found you because I was looking into buying the sun joe scarifier. Then I wanted to check out your two month update on that. Then I saw that you did a trim wall- something We've been thinking of doing in our nursery. I'm a software engineer but I have a 3D printer and use CAD quite a bit so It was cool to see you using CAD for the nursery and the mobile work bench. You earned a sub!
Great build. I like the design that makes the most of your space. Very efficient. I would not be as concerned about the planer sliding in and out of place as much as I would be annoyed at the dust from the table saw continually raining down on the top of the planer. I also work in a small garage where I park a car. Same planer. Same tablesaw. My row of tools also rolls around but I have the planer in a flip cart (Drew Fisher design) with my sander. My table saw lives separate but will go in a bench with the router lift.
This table is so well planned out! I was very surprised those little casters would manage such a big piece of lumber, especially when you reinforced the entire structure with extra boards and made the whole structure 50% heavier. Didn't expect those little guys to hold up like that.
Thanks! Ya those casters are rated for 600lbs each and so far I believe it.
It makes the frame 100% heavier.
That head nod when that piece fell over lol been there
*side falls over*
*nods* "yup. that checks out"
XD
Great bench coach
You're my hero. The only thing cooler than that work bench is that Z06. Nice work pal!
I like this design a lot - looks like it will do a lot in a relatively small space, and eliminate the need for constant setup/teardown in a small workspace. I like the double bracing on all of the frame and it no doubt adds a lot for strength. A couple of thoughts though:
Diagonal bracing across the center of the back, on the right side, and underneath would add a lot of rigidity to this build, and help ensure against shifting/slop over time under all the weight of the tools.
Rather than dealing with what looks to be a cumbersome method to drop the feet below the casters - maybe consider flip-down casters instead, with levelling feet mounted to the bottom of the frame.
Aside from those 2 things - this looks great and I really like this build. Thanks for sharing.
The poor Z06 😥 Great video/project! Thanks for sharing!
I have never known Kimi Raikkonen to be a man of so many clearly spoken words...
That's a beautiful bench. Love the idea of having both saws and a planer in a mobile bench. I'd try to add a router table, a vise and a folding outfeed table. I think you're robbing the bench of a lot of strength by not gluing all your joints. You could skip a lot of those screws if everything was glued, especially where you have face to face connections.
Thanks and I appreciate the feedback! Router should be coming soon
Good Job.
Echo what a lot of users wrote. I’ve been thinking about how to use the side space of garage and get as many tools as possible like yours. Love the planer addition as I haven’t found one that incorporates the planer. I initially thought about rotating for outfeed but would probably have the bottom piled up with stuff any way. One thing I’ve been contemplating is rotating the table saw so I have an out feed for the table saw including if I have a jig in the mitre slot. This is a big help though. Thank you. Great job.
Thanks and I appreciate the feedback!
I enjoyed this video, thanks. A couple cons for me would be the casters and working on the floor (almost) with the planer.
Ya I can agree with you. Trying to fit all this in a small area has proved to be a challenge lol
Great job!! Looks amazing
Nice idea, my area is narrow so I think I would make mobile flip top bench’s that I could gang together for longer work area.
I really love it,this is perfect this is going to help me get organized in my garage, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to try and build it similar to yours thank you for sharing, stay safe.
Nice job....thanks for sharing
Great build I’m in the middle of building my second work bench for the same 3 tools, and was think of making storage draws undert
Like seeing the Cleetus McFarland shirt!
A router between the saw and miter saw would be perfect.Utilize the existing tables awesome fence as the basis for your router fence.Great video
Good idea, based on feedback I believe the router is a must!
If there's ever a tornado... hide in the workbench. That thing is SOLID!!
Haha that is the ultimate compliment
Also a T2 owner. Good idea! I think you could add a foldable outfeed table.
Great idea! I like the foldable outfeed
Have you considered an out feed table that folds up for use and down again for storing against the wall? It’s something I’m considering for my build as a space saving measure while also adding some more versatility
You could easily fit a router table insert plate in the middle there!
Thanks for the ideas.
Brad nails are the best second pair of hands for holding boards until they are screwed in
As someone who loves to over build… this video was very fun to watch!!
Awesome to hear thanks!
nice Z06 dust collector
Great workbench.. I have same problem with not a lot of room in garage for a big workbench. Look into marking a similar one.
This is brilliant, it’s really helped me come up with ideas for what I want!!
Best wishes from England
Little tip when jigsawing your circular cut for your chop saw. Cut just short of your trace line and then sand the rest to the line.
Great build... FYI that’s a “Dewalt” planer (not Delta). I have the same one, I’ve been using it for over 15 years and only changed the blades. I put a router table, woodworking clamps and built in electrical on my work station. Keep building young man!🔨
Well done!
Nothing like your best friend there with you. Goldens are the best friends ever.
Couldnt agree more, love them!
