Very straight forward. I've been searching YT for different ideas for adjustable workbench. Every design is different and incorporating different ideas into my build. Thank you for your build. Well done.
I just got your plans. Excellent idea because I have a paralyzed hand and this solves my needs for a multi use work table. Bravo from a 68 yo guy in Maine.
Well I am building this workbench today. I am having to work from the concrete floor in my backyard. I need kee pads!!!! I'll be glad when it's done because I am tired of doing woodwork projects on the floor.
If you secured a stop block at the top of the four runners, you could jack the saw up and firmly press it into the four blocks so you wouldn’t need the carriage bolts. That would prevent any flex since the jack would be under pressure.
OK, that is a brilliant idea! I have been brainstorming with how to get my 12" Sliding mitre saw to integrate into my multi purpose workbench so I could use the whole bench when needed. This is a perfect solution! Thanks for posting
The middle section where the jack and table saw are is what I need to put in my big table. I might try to adjust my table to fit a section like this. very cool design and very easy.
your plans are very thorough! I already have a 4X8 rolling workbench built so my real focus is on your center piece for the miter saw. Folks should note also the size of your miter saw. Mine is a 12" compound sliding miter and the dimensions in your plans will need some modification for the size however, the concept doesn't change and I don't see that I'll have any issues with that for the size of my saw. I picked up the scissor jack at harbor freight....same one....$36.99 and if you have a 20% coupon, it's naturally even less. Thanks for sharing your idea and how to build it. It's going to free up a lot of space for me, give it a dedicated space with plenty of out feed and, stow it nicely away when not in use!! Thanks once again!
You are amazing as a teacher!!! This was easily explained, the video was, to use your saying, "Spot on", and it made me construct my workbench with the scissor jacks. I have gone so far as to watch this video many times to help me with my project. Thank you!
Really nice design. I’m thinking of making this but as a modular design with three separate pieces. I have a super small shop and need ultimate maneuverability. Thank you for the tutorial and knowledge.
I just discovered your channel today, but I'll be back constantly. This is super cool, and I love how you keep stuff simple, even crazy cool stuff like this one.
It’s a pretty good idea. 👍. I’m in the process of building a workbench myself and still haven’t quite decided on what to get. I have a 120 sq ft so space is limited 😂. Thanks for sharing this project ❤❤
Awesome build. Thank you for this. I've been looking for something like this for so long. Never liked the idea of a flip top but could never think of what to use for an " elevator " style without spending a ton of money on hydraulics. Never thought of using a scissor jack. Built it just like you did with a few changes. Used 4 CNC linear rails for the sliding mechanism instead of the 2x4s ( works great, nice and smooth ) and added some drawers and shelves in the open areas.
THAT's what I've been looking for! I was thinking of something exactly like this since I don't have any workshop at all and have to move things out of the way in my laundry room when I'm not building stuff.
Good thinking on the hideaway, the idea is cool, IF I'm to design a bench like this, I am thinking of the lift miter base gliding on metal rods with bearings for less friction and easier lift and maybe a dual scissor lift system... need to sleep on this idea now... thanks
Thank you for your plans. I used your 'large' workbench plans previously posted as the basis for my first build. Only thing I added to that one (same spacing measurements for the miter saw) was a 'flip top'. Fits a DWS779! I'm sure someone could have done that part better than I, but I wouldn't have gotten that far without your help! I actually thought of the scissor design but wanted to save the space for storage below. (Truth: Mine would not have worked as well having seen yours.)
I have been looking online and this bench will meet my needs. I was thinking that Parafinn wax might reuce the wood to wood friction for the hideaway miter saw stand. Great Video
If you have a car salvage yard in your area (like Pull A Part) they sell the jacks from the cars they scrap. Cheaper than a new one. Great build. Been looking for a second bench for table saw outfeed so this would be great double duty.
Cool build! I've been thinking about building a hinged system, and probably will still go that way, but this is definitely an interesting option to keep in mind! If nothing else, this style of lift could be useful for other things I'm thinking about, so... I'm glad I found this video!
I liked this hide-a-way feature but also like the foldable element of your other mobile mitre saw work bench, so I combined them into one, not as clean and neat looking as these but hugely functional, I can post a picture if interested.
Beautiful! I thought long and hard about something like this, but never considered the use of an auto jack. Eventually, I went another direction. Great work!
Awww man! I literally just built the one with the drop down arms last week! I wish I would have known a new version was coming 😂. Thanks for the video still though, it was an enjoyable watch
I like the idea, the only issue for ME would be i’d use the table top with lots of stuff on it etc and then need my chop saw which obviously means moving stuff around, but that’s just typical me ..
I like this idea and loved the way you presented it, I am looking to build a work bench to hold my chop saw and a table saw which is movable. my work shop is only 8' x 12' with benches around the outside and feel it would be better to build something that will move from the wall to the centre where I can walk around it and it holds my tools. a project I am both looking forward to and dreading at the same time and your design here has given me some great idea's. I looked on your site and loved the way you added links to the various pieces of kit like the jack for instance. THANK YOU X
Great idea! Instead of the overhanging bits of the saw platform, I bet some electrical conduit would run smooth in those 2x4 tracks. Since you're pinning it in the raised position anyway, you don't have to rely on them for strength.
How about a removable fence that could be slid into place and secured with a couple of carriage bolts. Remove the fence and drop the carriage bolts into the holes to make the top flush again. Of course the fence would have a T-track in it to make repeated cuts. Would that be possible without too many changes to your current design?? Great video, simple.
Awesome job and great idea too, I love TH-cam and everyone that shares ideas it's definitely a great resource of ideas for everyone, who needs School anymore? LOL kidding, well kind of...
All you need to do is make a housing for the job site table saw on the right of the table. And you have both miter saw and table saw at your disposal with the same foot print. :)
this is a wonderful idea, any updates for the feature, a version 2.0? I was thinking that you could put hinges for the top at the back and while the miter saw is raising the base itself can push the top open and when lowering it the gravity will pull the top back down and get it leveled.
My problem is that a flat space in my shop becomes a magnet for me to lay stuff down on top of it. I can already see me having to clean off that removable top before I can raise my saw. Thanks for a great, clever design!
I’ve watched two of your videos so far and decided that I will subscribe. You inspire me. I bought power tools a while back but rarely used them. Mostly because all the videos I’ve watched used planers and I didn’t buy one of those. Seems you build without planing and that brought a smile to my face. Thank you!!! How do you come up with your designs? Also was wondering if you ever thought of using something like a foot crank (I’m sure that’s not what it’s called) to lift the miter saw? Something like on a hospital bed? But like the simple system anyway.
add a table saw on one end and boom. That is what i am looking for. Thanks for the plan and demonstration on the build. Excellent...
Ditto! 👍
Adding a table saw on the left and router to the left will make this a dream table
That's what I plan on doing
Very straight forward. I've been searching YT for different ideas for adjustable workbench. Every design is different and incorporating different ideas into my build. Thank you for your build. Well done.
I just got your plans. Excellent idea because I have a paralyzed hand and this solves my needs for a multi use work table. Bravo from a 68 yo guy in Maine.
I thought I found the perfect workbench project...then this showed up on my youtube list...this table is awesome!
Well I am building this workbench today. I am having to work from the concrete floor in my backyard. I need kee pads!!!! I'll be glad when it's done because I am tired of doing woodwork projects on the floor.

that's a great idea, or even if using carriage bolts, helps for lining up the holes quicker.
OK, that is a brilliant idea! I have been brainstorming with how to get my 12" Sliding mitre saw to integrate into my multi purpose workbench so I could use the whole bench when needed. This is a perfect solution! Thanks for posting
Great table and congrats for the simple way you explain the whole process, it's a pleasure watching!
The middle section where the jack and table saw are is what I need to put in my big table. I might try to adjust my table to fit a section like this. very cool design and very easy.
This is amazing, what a great way to have a dual purpose workstation!
Thanks Toni!
A great straightforward build
Great build! I'd add a little wax paste in between those 2x4's to help slide up and down...

Great build and helpful video. Might help solve a few problems I'm trying to overcome in planning my shop remodel
I like this design a lot more than the flip tables I see. A couple of drawer mounts would help with rigidity.
Really nice design. I’m thinking of making this but as a modular design with three separate pieces. I have a super small shop and need ultimate maneuverability. Thank you for the tutorial and knowledge.
Very cool, thanks for all the detailed steps
I just discovered your channel today, but I'll be back constantly. This is super cool, and I love how you keep stuff simple, even crazy cool stuff like this one.
It’s a pretty good idea. 👍. I’m in the process of building a workbench myself and still haven’t quite decided on what to get. I have a 120 sq ft so space is limited 😂. Thanks for sharing this project ❤❤
I'm combining the hideaway feature with the 2 flip up extensions for space savings, thank you!
Awesome build. Thank you for this. I've been looking for something like this for so long.

A flip top sounds like a great modification! I'm glad the plans helped you out 🙂
Awesome idea young lady
Ok. THAT is awesome. That's what I'll build for my table saw
I like your work that hideaway bench and the way its build out of 2x4's I'm going to try it if I can find your plans.
Awesome! Now I just need to combine your miter saw table with your table saw table lol
EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you so much for creating this!
OMG!! Where have you been?! This will definitely be my next workbench!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I have been looking online and this bench will meet my needs. I was thinking that Parafinn wax might reuce the wood to wood friction for the hideaway miter saw stand. Great Video
Nice build! Great space saving miter station/workbench
excellent, creative idea. I will make it. maybe can add bearing and track for smooth movement.
If you have a car salvage yard in your area (like Pull A Part) they sell the jacks from the cars they scrap. Cheaper than a new one. Great build. Been looking for a second bench for table saw outfeed so this would be great double duty.
For better movement of the table, maybe use paste wax on the 2x4 so that it glides better. Otherwise cool table.
Good idea!
I was just about to say paste wax will make it glide smooth
Cool build! I've been thinking about building a hinged system, and probably will still go that way, but this is definitely an interesting option to keep in mind! If nothing else, this style of lift could be useful for other things I'm thinking about, so... I'm glad I found this video!

Nice work! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful! I thought long and hard about something like this, but never considered the use of an auto jack. Eventually, I went another direction. Great work!
This looks like a great build and I’ll be coming back to it again soon when I finally get a chance to build my own. Thanks for posting!
Very cool. That is what I need. Thanks for the idea!
Good idea !! I love 👍
I think we'll find him in France 😁😘
Would have liked to see the Jack in action. Some demonstration.
Very clever built and nice features !
Awww man! I literally just built the one with the drop down arms last week! I wish I would have known a new version was coming 😂. Thanks for the video still though, it was an enjoyable watch
Haha sorry! You'll just have to build this one too and see which you like best 😂
Tebrikler. Güzel olmuş.
What a creative idea and design! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you. I will try to build this
I like the idea, the only issue for ME would be i’d use the table top with lots of stuff on it etc and then need my chop saw which obviously means moving stuff around, but that’s just typical me ..
Nice job, Thank you for the Video !😊
Hello, you remind me of April Wilkerson. Nice build !
I like this idea and loved the way you presented it, I am looking to build a work bench to hold my chop saw and a table saw which is movable. my work shop is only 8' x 12' with benches around the outside and feel it would be better to build something that will move from the wall to the centre where I can walk around it and it holds my tools. a project I am both looking forward to and dreading at the same time and your design here has given me some great idea's. I looked on your site and loved the way you added links to the various pieces of kit like the jack for instance. THANK YOU X
Very interesting to see using a jack. I think I'd go a flip top just for speed. Very inventive though.
Awesome design especially the jack, now to put drawers on the sides. 😎👌🇵🇷
Great idea! Instead of the overhanging bits of the saw platform, I bet some electrical conduit would run smooth in those 2x4 tracks. Since you're pinning it in the raised position anyway, you don't have to rely on them for strength.
I ordered your plans Very nice effort
Thank you for the ideas ..
😊
Great idea!
Can you do a video on how you built the original work space? The one with table saw and miter. Thanks
excellent idea!
Thank you so much. Great design!
How about a removable fence that could be slid into place and secured with a couple of carriage bolts. Remove the fence and drop the carriage bolts into the holes to make the top flush again. Of course the fence would have a T-track in it to make repeated cuts. Would that be possible without too many changes to your current design?? Great video, simple.
Yeah I think you could make something like that work 👍
This is just the best
Awesome job and great idea too, I love TH-cam and everyone that shares ideas it's definitely a great resource of ideas for everyone, who needs School anymore? LOL kidding, well kind of...
Now that is freaking cool design! Very nice 👌 👍
Very cool work bench! Nicely done!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
All you need to do is make a housing for the job site table saw on the right of the table. And you have both miter saw and table saw at your disposal with the same foot print. :)
Thank you so much! I will be building this asap!
That is slick
Wow that's so cool. Not for me though as my 10" saw is light enough to just quickly grab from below and set on top.
What a clever design 💕👍🏽😊
Have you thought of making a station with multiple jacks / table top tools instead of the open areas to the left and right?
Wao great job congrats
Well Done!
this is a wonderful idea, any updates for the feature, a version 2.0? I was thinking that you could put hinges for the top at the back and while the miter saw is raising the base itself can push the top open and when lowering it the gravity will pull the top back down and get it leveled.
My problem is that a flat space in my shop becomes a magnet for me to lay stuff down on top of it. I can already see me having to clean off that removable top before I can raise my saw. Thanks for a great, clever design!
Thanx alot great jop and thanx for plan 🙂
wish I'd found this before I built what I did, which is ridiculously complicated and doesn't work like I thought it would!
Nice design. I had problems lining up 2x4s for sliding. Instead of screws I used clamps until I got it lined up.
Vraiment bien et simple. Peut être croix mi bois sous table pour que les coins ne fléchisses pas à la montée
Super travail, j'adore. Tu assures 👍
How well is the jack mechanism sliding up and down now after ~4 months?
A very nicely explained project. May I ask you what software you use for the drawings you have shown here. Thank you.
Genius! I love it an thanks for sharing.
Are you a carpenter by trade or just exceptionally good at DIY stuff?
Just love to build! Lots of carpenters and handymen/women in my family that I was lucky to grow up around and learn from.
I’ve watched two of your videos so far and decided that I will subscribe. You inspire me. I bought power tools a while back but rarely used them. Mostly because all the videos I’ve watched used planers and I didn’t buy one of those. Seems you build without planing and that brought a smile to my face. Thank you!!!

Buenísima idea gracias
Very nice set up. Great job of explaining it as well.
I have leftover 4x4's. Could those be used for the legs instead of 2x4's?
Do you happen to have a video on your mobile table saw and miter saw workbench??
Oh my god a scissor jack. Thats genius! Definitely a fan now
😎😍😎😍Awesome design
Very good work you should teach some lesson to some that are on yu toub, , verry good work
You are a genius! :)
Parabéns ficou ótimo 👏
Hi where do I find this plans you make it look doable
