This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
Great build, I’ve been wanting to build a folding bench for awhile now but never found a design that fit my needs, that is until now! You nailed it! Thanks for sharing
That is a nerdy piece of workshop utility! Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely try it for my match box workshop. This cool video earned you one of your ardent followers and occupies number one in my search for this bench 💯/💯
Awesome build! Nice and simple with good functionality. I’ll be using some of your ideas when building a bench in my new shop soon. Thank you from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦
I had built something like this but your ideas solve so many of the issues I encountered. Great video. It will be a big help when I rebuild. I agree with not using the melamine. I made my top out of MDF and shellaced it. It has held up well.
Thank you! It’s been a really nice addition to my shop! MDF would have been a great choice. I’ll be rebuilding in the near future. My garage is now dedicated as a shop and I don’t mind something a little more permanent with storage to hold all my crap haha. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Thanks for your reply. I found a way to move some things around and am moving forward with the horizontal method. I have purchased most of the materials and am excited to get started. 😀
@rickdeckard1075 I understand why people are so distrusting of things they find on the internet as I’ve seen so much misleading trash but let me assure you Rick, the table is solid. I still use it daily over 2 years old without issue.
Great build! Nice job editing, explaining the steps you took, mistakes made & how to avoid them, safety tips on the how & why you used the hoist, etc. I got back into woodworking after I retired and am kind of gimpy. Ideas like the hoist will help keep me from screwing my self up further and likely extend the time I will be able to keep doing projects. (That is if I don’t kill my self installing the hoist ;).
Thanks man! I’m glad I get some exercise while building things but putting myself in a dangerous position is non negotiable haha. I’ve been wanting to figure out a way to help manage large sheets of plywood as well. Still in the brainstorming stages on that one! Glad to hear you’re picking it back up, hope this helps! Cheers!
Just found you via my wife. Definitely building this and you MDF cabinet doors since that's tge project I am currently working on. Charlie from AZ here, love your videos.
Hey Charlie! It’s been an awesome bench for me. I have transitioned my garage into a full time shop at this point so I might end up making a new bench with some storage in the future. Glad you guys are enjoying my videos. Thanks for watching and taking time to respond man!
When you're putting your work table away,as soon as you get the legs off the floor, you can take the stretcher off the legs. Now it's not in the way when pinning the table to the wall. Also I like the small table you made for your planner and chopsaw. I
"Watch out Bob!" And "I use this (the speaker) when I'm in the bathroom taking a... shower" killed me. Great bench, I dig it! Again, greetings from Syracuse, New York.
Dude! I appreciate that! I really like the fold down idea! Also a fan of magnets to hold the stretcher! I’ve been wanting to try some Formica, you made it look really easy to work with. Thanks again for watching and the support man! Cheers!
This is the first time watching your video. I like how at the end you talk about the things that went wrong. I always walk around my projects at the end and review the mistakes I made. It upsets me but I feel like it also helps me grow and become a better wood nerd!
@WoodNerds Well, hopefully, we won't make the same mistake. I do like when people share their successes and mistakes. It might save someone else from the same mistake or at least know why it happened. Just as important.
Nice build. I watched several builds, most of them are nice too, with a few that are not so. I was just gathering ideas that I can use for my project. I honestly tell you that i watched you tube a lot to learn things, but this is the first time I posted a comment. I like your approach and all the tips you give. Thanks
Thanks Ed! It really means a lot! Yeah, I try to give as many tips as I can especially on the stuff is screw up haha. I appreciate you taking the time to say something man! Good luck with your build, let me know how it turns out!
Love the wench idea! I'm going to overhaul my shop once I build my shed for storage of my tools. My shop space is a single car garage and I want to shrink down my foot print in there to allow for more work space. My bench currently is 2ft deep and runs the length of my shop. I'm going to mimic your build. Great job 👍
Nice additions to the standard T Track work bench. Well done, I'm really enjoying your videos! I look forward to watching them all and everything you may come up with. Cheers, Pete
was thinking something like that also except it would be attached to the wall and then fold up when not in use. to be used with routing wood mostly like the track idea and also with the use of bench dog holes also!! Great work
Bro. Just getting into your videos and I love it. Keep doin you and I appreciate the realness. Stay humble and have fun. I’m totally ripping this table off when I get around to needing a full size table. Cheers!
Thanks for the great idea. I inherited my dad's butcher block work table top, with decades of patina. I know how I can use the beast of a table in my garage now. What a great video., easy to follow. subscribed.
Great build and great tool info. I'm in Litchfield Park Az and as you know, the garages here aren't very big. I've been looking for a space saving workbench.

Hi! I just found your video, love the way you recorded and edited your video. My husband has his own DIY channel, and I am sometimes his "editor-in-chief" so to speak, and sir, you did really well!! I love how you explain, I love the angles of your video clips, the audio is crisp, great music choice for the background, and you did such a wonderful job explaining how you did everything. I do have a little bias since I love DIY videos, but this was super nice to watch. I was completely focused on the video the entire time. Well done!!! New subscriber for sure! Cannot wait to see more of your content. Glad I found you! PS: I loved your VIP Tool clip at the end.
Omg!!! The threaded knobs!!! Genius!! I’ve been avoiding building a table like this because the slotted option seemed was too advanced for me! This is so clever ! ( also this build is way out my league but I’ll make a noob version plus your knobs )
Great build man. Wish I had the wall space for one. Love that you show your mistakes so we can learn from them too! Wish more youtubers did. Good to see you're getting more tools. I bought the same planer about a month ago and love it, still working on reducing the snipe though. From what I hear that model is bad for that. Wish I had the router you just got, looks like a nice one. You're alot like me when building something, even for yourself, strive for perfection. But don't beat yourself up over the little mistakes, nothing's perfect, especially when it's handmade. Turned out great. Can't wait for another video! Keep building!
You’re the man Tregg! Thanks for saying that. The router is awesome, can’t believe I waited so long for one as well as the planer. I’ll plane some wood for almost no reason other than to smooth it out. Mine doesn’t snipe enough for me to really notice honestly. I bet if I was to sand it for a few seconds on each side I probably wouldn’t be able to tell at all. I am using pine though so maybe that’s the reason why. Thanks for watching man I appreciate it!
@@WoodNerds Yeah, I should have got a planer years ago...now I just wish I had the room/money for a nice industrial 20". Hard to work with live edge salads when you're limited to 13". I need to find someone in my area (Fort Worth Texas) with a big planer that I could pay to run some slabs through.
Same here man. I haven’t done much work with slabs yet but I could definitely see how much trouble that would be. Could make a router sled and get **similar** results. I’ve heard of people paying lumber yards etc. to mill large projects for them. Seems to be fairly cheap too.
Loved your workstation built into the shelving on the side of the garage. I have a similar setup, only with shelves alone. Did you plan that from the getgo or adapt the space afterward?
Hey! Thank you. It was the initial plan. I needed storage and a workspace to tinker and keep tools I use frequently. I might be redoing this in the future. I’d like cabinets to hide all the mess haha.
Tyler , your work is very inspirational I am loving it , my name is Adrian l am originally from Transylvania the real Transylvania :) . We just purchased a new home and I will be doing a lot of your ideas in my new garage . Thank you so much for the awesome videos and explanations. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos , keep them coming 😊
Great design and nice construction. Every shop could make good use of a mobile workbench that folds flat against a wall. A downsized version of this project is on my “things to build” list. Thank you for the video.
Hey, I like this! I need to have a large cutting table for my sewing room but the room is too small for the table to be there all the time. This is a very neat version of a foldable, sturdy worktable and since mine will be minimum 90cm wide your idea triggered my own idea of block and tackle (yes, I'm a sailor) to be able to hoist it to the wall. I'm in Sweden by the way :)
Im planning on building this very soon! A couple questions…. Is 2 pieces of melamine necessary? Im wondering how flat the table is? I’m contemplating making a torsion box. Do you think that is needed? Thanks for the input
Hey man! A torsion box top would definitely be better and that method means a dead flat surface. I used two melamine sheets to help keep the top rigid and added a center apron (not sure if that’s the correct term) but it still sags ever so slightly. I think for my next iteration of this I might do a torsion box so I can clamp glue ups to it and know it’s perfectly flat.
Thank you! It’s been awesome! Yes actually! I’ve been wanting to make an external vise that clamps to the bench when in use and stores on the wall or off to the side when I’m not using it. Still not a fully developed plan but I’ve seen it in use somewhere and took a mental note for a future project!
Lewis here from Wales in the UK! Amazing work my friend, I’m looking to make something similar to this but maybe not to the detail you did, I’m not quite as skilled haha but brilliant designs and finish!
Hey Lewis! Thanks man! You can make it happen. Just take your time. Let me know how it turns out! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Cheers!
all good bro, a lot of the time I have a mental blank and can't think of a word. I just try to move on a let the subconscious sort it out for me. Better than letting shit go round and round in my head.
Lol! That was my move on this one! Love this bench though! My shop has grown recently and so this hasn’t been folded up in a while. Makes a great out feed table and in one of my more recent videos I dropped a router in that baby!
Fantastic workbench!!! I am planning my workbench as I am just getting into woodworking. I am thinking of a laminated top with two layers of 3/4 inch MDF sandwiched between two layers of 3/4 inch plywood. The reason for the thick top, in addition to stability, is that I plan on using a combination of dogholes and t-track. Am I over-engineering the top? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. If I do go ahead with the thick top, would I need additional support for hanging the bench on the garage wall? Thank you in advance for your help. Have a great day and stay safe!
Thanks man! It’s been an awesome addition to my shop. I think that is overkill personally. It’s pretty solid and crazy heavy with two sheets (although melamine is a little heavier than plywood). If you’re really going to be pounding on it then three should be good. I would probably consider a straight bar through or additional support on the inside of the legs where they pivot. I’d also add an additional leg block for stability. I don’t have issues with mine really (there is a minor wobble if I am pushing in a certain direction). With a heavier top I imagine that would be less, however, it will probably be more stressful on the aprons.
New to this channel, and just getting into woodworking. Absolutely loved your idea and plans over some other workbenches and can’t wait to dive in a little deeper into the community!
Awesome work!!! Viewer from Hilton Head ,SC. My house is almost finished, and first project will be the big storage rack/ bench you made! Can’t wait to try building it myself. Thank you for sharing all your cool creations
Thank you! If I had a use for one I would! Everything is so expensive right now unfortunately I can’t build things I don’t plan on using or selling and I don’t think that would be an easy sell. Maybe in a future build though!
Hey man, nice build! I'm still renting this house but someday when we buy I'll build out something like this. I love that you made it mobile once it's down... I've only seen fixed variants before and this is a cool modification to that. And another reminder I need a drill guide... going to pick up those right angle parts too - cheaper than the fixed jigs and therefore more useful in different situations as well. Keep building dude! Again I like your non-pretentious builds and demeanor. Cheers!
Chuck! I appreciate you man! Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to watch! Get yourself some property with a dedicated shop and you can build it up! That’s what I want eventually.
@@WoodNerds yah of course a large garage or shop w/ aircon would be dope but... we'll see. :) not a lot of houses w/ that much land here in Phx. gotta move out far for that.
Why did you use two pieces for your top and if you did this over would you use two 3/5 in plywood or one 3/5 inch plywood. I was going to use one, but if you think two is better (stronger), I'll use two. My concern is the weight of the bench with over 150 lbs of plywood alone , not counting the weight of the legs and braces. What is the total weight of the build overall? Great build!!!
Hey, thanks man! So two pieces are needed if you’re routing the T Track out. Otherwise you’ll only be left with a small amount of material in those areas, making your top extremely weak! The weight when building is definitely a concern but if you have help it’s not that bad, afterwards it’s nice because it aids the overall stability of a the bench when you work with it. It has to be around the 200 lbs range. Using regular plywood instead will save some weight (melamine is a little heavier than plywood I believe). This build was worth it to me. I love this bench. Next time you have a buddy over, you get to set it up and hoist it down. I used mine as an out feed table when cutting some drawers and mdf the other day.. worked like a dream.
Building my first foldable wall workbench in a couple weeks. In my brainstorming session I had the same idea about automated lifting. The crane was my first idea, converting a motorized tv stand with guide rails was my second. Being pressed for time I decided on the first. I've watched several of these videos and this is the first I've found with the same idea. Yep, you earned this sub, sir. Thanks for the video.
Great to see this concept working. This is what I’m thinking about doing for my Cnc machine table. Is there any twisting or movement. I’m planning on building a torsion box to help. Mine is going to have to fold the other way, with the bottom against the wall because of the carriages. Can you see an issue with this idea? Apart from the weight I’d have to hold initially.
Hey Matt! That’s an awesome idea! I’d really have to work out the mechanics of that to try to comment. You could also use a lift and pulleys to lift it straight up. There is minimal movement or twisting, although I’ve noticed a little bit of a downward bow in the middle of the table, but I think a center stretcher would help keep that in check (might add one myself).
I just found your channel a few days ago while I was looking for a garage work bench/ storage system.. I've now watched almost all of your videos.. Awesome! I can appreciate that you don't have "contractor grade" tools like myself and the average DIYer - Harbor Freight miter saw, Ryobi tools, etc.. How has that miter saw been by the way? It's next on my list.. Keep the videos coming.. I'll keep watching them. Also, Nice 2nd gen Tacoma - Do I see a high clearance rear bumper? You wheel? Cheers, man!
Hey Matt! I appreciate that man! The tools I have now brought me a long way. I think it’s time to start upgrading. I’ve recently noticed the miter saw deflects enough to be frustrating. Also, I’ve noticed on mine the positive stops for angles is off. Thinking about a dewalt or MAYBE the Hercules miter from harbor freight (I’ve heard good things for the price). My table saw also has issues. Thinking about getting serious and buying a saw stop at some point. I try to be very safety conscious but have heard stories where kickback takes a few fingers off. They are crazy expensive but with the amount of time I plan on putting behind that saw I think it’s worth it to know my fingers are safe haha. I’ve got a few good videos in the works, pretty stoked about these ones. Thanks! I love my truck! Wish I had more time to take her out and build on her more. Been super busy. How about you? Have a truck?
@@WoodNerds Thanks for the advice! I'll look closer at the miter saw options.. Mine would be for occasional use - nothing much at all. My dad has a great work shop that I use with his guidance - built a nice book case for my 3 year old's bedroom - stuff like that. It's a blast and am starting to build my own workshop. I suppose the amount you use it, it's worth it to spend the extra money. As for the truck - I do! On my second Tacoma - currently have a 2018 TRD off road that I've done a bunch to. I go camping in remote places so it's on King Coilovers, roof top tent, 33's, etc.. It's the real money pit to be honest! Love the videos man!
Of course! Happy to help. That’s awesome man! It feels good to build something. I love looking around my house and seeing things I’ve built in each room and how much they’ve evolved over time. I want to do cabinets here pretty soon but want a saw that can make more precise cuts before I spend all that cheddar on lumber. That’s sick! How do you like the newer gens? I’ve been thinking about selling mine and upgrading haha. I hate spending money, but I love the way she looks when I walk away haha. Mine is a 13 trd sport 4x4, 3” toytec lift, 33” BFG tko, bilstein 5100’s. I want 35’s and a 6” lift, but I’m pretty sure I’ll have to trim the fenders and definitely have to regear.
@@WoodNerds Nice! I had a 2012 before which I loved, but I really love my current truck.. The gearing is the truck's Achilles Heel, but April mine goes in for 5.29 gears. Should make it much better. Cheers,man!

That "special" tool for drawing the half circles is a compass, I first used one at primary school when I was seven.
That’s right! It comes in really handy for finding the radius of a circle or rounded edge.

Thanks Bryan! I’m really happy with it. Frees up space for serious tools and a good bench. Not one or the other. Hey
lol you can see the table flex off of square every time he touches it
@rickdeckard1075 I understand why people are so distrusting of things they find on the internet as I’ve seen so much misleading trash but let me assure you Rick, the table is solid. I still use it daily over 2 years old without issue.

I love your work. I modelled my workbench and shelves off your original and am now have extended it. Gonna have a go at this bench. Is really cool.
Dude! Thank you! Means a lot!
Has the hoist worked out long-term? I am pondering a similar set up and like how you wall-mounted it versus having to tie into ceiling joists.
Worked for over a year before I decided to leave my bench down full time and take it down off the wall haha.
Nice additions to the standard T Track work bench. Well done, I'm really enjoying your videos! I look forward to watching them all and everything you may come up with. Cheers, Pete

I love how you explain, I love the angles of your video clips, the audio is crisp, great music choice for the background, and you did such a wonderful job explaining how you did everything. I do have a little bias since I love DIY videos, but this was super nice to watch. I was completely focused on the video the entire time. Well done!!! New subscriber for sure! Cannot wait to see more of your content. Glad I found you!
PS: I loved your VIP Tool clip at the end.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback and the subscription! More content in the works!
Awesome! I will be on the lookout. I have the bell notifications turned on for your channel. 👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love this design! Thanks for posting the video!
I appreciate that man! Thanks for watching!
A little more than I need. I'm going to build a similar bench, I needed to know the best way to build the folding section
Great work table setup. I like the how to’s, the don’t do’s and the tool section. Great channel bro!
Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback!
Omg!!! The threaded knobs!!! Genius!! I’ve been avoiding building a table like this because the slotted option seemed was too advanced for me! This is so clever !
( also this build is way out my league but I’ll make a noob version plus your knobs )
Thank you! Yeah, I thought it was an elegant solution and it’ll be held more tightly than the slots.
Great job bruh..... I want one now!
Thanks! I still use it. Works great!
Nice build..
Thank you sir! I appreciate it!
Great build man. Wish I had the wall space for one. Love that you show your mistakes so we can learn from them too! Wish more youtubers did.
Good to see you're getting more tools. I bought the same planer about a month ago and love it, still working on reducing the snipe though. From what I hear that model is bad for that. Wish I had the router you just got, looks like a nice one.
You're alot like me when building something, even for yourself, strive for perfection. But don't beat yourself up over the little mistakes, nothing's perfect, especially when it's handmade. Turned out great. Can't wait for another video! Keep building!
You’re the man Tregg! Thanks for saying that. The router is awesome, can’t believe I waited so long for one as well as the planer. I’ll plane some wood for almost no reason other than to smooth it out. Mine doesn’t snipe enough for me to really notice honestly. I bet if I was to sand it for a few seconds on each side I probably wouldn’t be able to tell at all. I am using pine though so maybe that’s the reason why. Thanks for watching man I appreciate it!
@@WoodNerds Yeah, I should have got a planer years ago...now I just wish I had the room/money for a nice industrial 20". Hard to work with live edge salads when you're limited to 13". I need to find someone in my area (Fort Worth Texas) with a big planer that I could pay to run some slabs through.
Same here man. I haven’t done much work with slabs yet but I could definitely see how much trouble that would be. Could make a router sled and get **similar** results. I’ve heard of people paying lumber yards etc. to mill large projects for them. Seems to be fairly cheap too.
This bench is frickin sweet!!! Awesome job, thanks for sharing!
Dude! Thanks for watching my videos! I appreciate it!
Sweet project, sweet beard. Always been a fan of the wall mounted tables like these, the powered lift is a cool touch.
Thanks man! Sweet name haha. I’m really happy with it!
Loved your workstation built into the shelving on the side of the garage. I have a similar setup, only with shelves alone. Did you plan that from the getgo or adapt the space afterward?
Hey! Thank you. It was the initial plan. I needed storage and a workspace to tinker and keep tools I use frequently. I might be redoing this in the future. I’d like cabinets to hide all the mess haha.
Pretty clever build my friend!! Love it!
Hey! Thank you! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
This is an AMAZING workbench. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kyle! It’s really cool. I go out to the garage every day and mess with it haha.
I'm really enjoying your table build
Thank you Dana! I’m still enjoying this bad boy! Been using it as an out feed table for my table saw! Works like a charm!
I totally want to build one of these workbenches. It would free up so much space in my garage.
This is the best bench man! Build one! You won’t regret it!
Tyler , your work is very inspirational I am loving it , my name is Adrian l am originally from Transylvania the real Transylvania :) . We just purchased a new home and I will be doing a lot of your ideas in my new garage . Thank you so much for the awesome videos and explanations. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos , keep them coming 😊
Hey Adrian! Congratulations on your new home and your future workspace! Thank you, for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s very motivating!
Great design and nice construction. Every shop could make good use of a mobile workbench that folds flat against a wall. A downsized version of this project is on my “things to build” list. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Roy! I’m very happy with it.
That was awesome.. loved how you explained things.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Nice build. Really well thought out.
Thank you Jim! I’m really happy with it. On a daily basis I go out to the garage and raise/lower the bench haha. Works great.
Hey, I like this! I need to have a large cutting table for my sewing room but the room is too small for the table to be there all the time. This is a very neat version of a foldable, sturdy worktable and since mine will be minimum 90cm wide your idea triggered my own idea of block and tackle (yes, I'm a sailor) to be able to hoist it to the wall. I'm in Sweden by the way :)
Block and tackle was my first draft haha. Glad my project inspired you! Thanks for watching and hope all is well in Sweden!
Im planning on building this very soon! A couple questions…. Is 2 pieces of melamine necessary? Im wondering how flat the table is? I’m contemplating making a torsion box. Do you think that is needed? Thanks for the input
Hey man! A torsion box top would definitely be better and that method means a dead flat surface. I used two melamine sheets to help keep the top rigid and added a center apron (not sure if that’s the correct term) but it still sags ever so slightly. I think for my next iteration of this I might do a torsion box so I can clamp glue ups to it and know it’s perfectly flat.
Amazing build, planning to do one myself. Any ideas how to implement a vice on it?
Thank you! It’s been awesome! Yes actually! I’ve been wanting to make an external vise that clamps to the bench when in use and stores on the wall or off to the side when I’m not using it. Still not a fully developed plan but I’ve seen it in use somewhere and took a mental note for a future project!
Nice job. I’ve seen this bench made on another video but this one has some extras which enhance its abilities.
Thank you! It’s an awesome bench! I’m really happy with how it’s preformed. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Lewis here from Wales in the UK!
Amazing work my friend, I’m looking to make something similar to this but maybe not to the detail you did, I’m not quite as skilled haha but brilliant designs and finish!
Hey Lewis! Thanks man! You can make it happen. Just take your time. Let me know how it turns out! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Cheers!
Chi town what's up ,I really love ❤ that work table perfectl with lift to put it away yaas!
Hey! Hope all is well in the Windy City! It’s my favorite shop feature so far! Still loving it! Cheers!
Awesome build! I'm in the learning stage, your ideas are very helpful.
I appreciate it! Glad it was valuable!
its a compass bro - the bench is seriously cool. It is the perfect solution for our garage. Thanks 🙂
Thanks man haha. Couldn’t think of it for the life of me when recording the video.
all good bro, a lot of the time I have a mental blank and can't think of a word. I just try to move on a let the subconscious sort it out for me. Better than letting shit go round and round in my head.
Lol! That was my move on this one! Love this bench though! My shop has grown recently and so this hasn’t been folded up in a while. Makes a great out feed table and in one of my more recent videos I dropped a router in that baby!
This is so cool! When we buy our next place, I’m coming to you for space saving ideas! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! I have some ideas!
Fantastic workbench!!! I am planning my workbench as I am just getting into woodworking. I am thinking of a laminated top with two layers of 3/4 inch MDF sandwiched between two layers of 3/4 inch plywood. The reason for the thick top, in addition to stability, is that I plan on using a combination of dogholes and t-track. Am I over-engineering the top? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. If I do go ahead with the thick top, would I need additional support for hanging the bench on the garage wall? Thank you in advance for your help. Have a great day and stay safe!
Thanks man! It’s been an awesome addition to my shop. I think that is overkill personally. It’s pretty solid and crazy heavy with two sheets (although melamine is a little heavier than plywood). If you’re really going to be pounding on it then three should be good. I would probably consider a straight bar through or additional support on the inside of the legs where they pivot. I’d also add an additional leg block for stability. I don’t have issues with mine really (there is a minor wobble if I am pushing in a certain direction). With a heavier top I imagine that would be less, however, it will probably be more stressful on the aprons.
Wow, I have been thinking about making a bench like this for a while and this is next level! Props to you and don’t be mad if I steal your idea! 🙌🏻👏🏻
Thanks man! Please do! Let me know how it turns out!
Fantastic video. Absolutely love the bench and looking to implement this in couple of months
Thank you! Yeah, it’s been awesome! Thanks for watching!
Love it! More people need to take advantage of a winch in their shop!
Seriously! I wish I would have thought of this earlier! Thanks for watching!
Love that workbench behind you! Im going to build one, too ;)
Thanks man! Do it! I really like it.
Awesome build! And hoist idea is great! I plan to use it on my own 😄
Hey! Thank you! It’s been an awesome bench! Good luck with your build!
If I had the wall space I would make this in a heart beat. Well done!!
Thanks! It’s really cool! Having a bench that works really well has made a world of difference when building.
New to this channel, and just getting into woodworking. Absolutely loved your idea and plans over some other workbenches and can’t wait to dive in a little deeper into the community!
Hey! Welcome, and good luck with your projects. Let me know if you have any questions! Cheers!
Awesome build. moving to a place with a large garage so this build is definitely on my list to do once we do. Thanks for the awesome content!
Hey Kelly, thanks for dropping by! Congratulations on the move! Good luck with your new space!
MIND BLOWN.
Awesome work!!! Viewer from Hilton Head ,SC. My house is almost finished, and first project will be the big storage rack/ bench you made! Can’t wait to try building it myself. Thank you for sharing all your cool creations
Thanks for stopping by Kory! Let me know how it turns out man! Congratulations on the new house and good luck with your projects!
Great stuff man. I'm a beginner, building my first shop, in my one car garage, and I think I have to build this over the weekend now...
I appreciate it! Do it and let me know how it turns out! It’s an awesome space saver. And a top notch bench when unfolded.
Is that long edge banding length correct in the description? I’m confused! Lol. Solid video man! Thanks for all the instructions!
Dude! Thank you for pointing that out! Both long and short were off! Updated them. I appreciate it!!!
T Track on the sides of the bench, great idea.
Thank you! It’s a good spot to store accessories but I’ve been thinking about different clamping accessories for it as well. Could be pretty handy!
I love your designs a lot
Thank you Rick! I try to build stuff that’s a little different. It’s been a lot of fun.
Queen creek AZ,
Looks great thanks for sharing
Hey Jason! Cheers brother!
You explain so well! What about a Queen Murphy bed with boat swivels? Please, there's no explanation for that around.
Thank you! If I had a use for one I would! Everything is so expensive right now unfortunately I can’t build things I don’t plan on using or selling and I don’t think that would be an easy sell. Maybe in a future build though!
Hey man, nice build! I'm still renting this house but someday when we buy I'll build out something like this. I love that you made it mobile once it's down... I've only seen fixed variants before and this is a cool modification to that. And another reminder I need a drill guide... going to pick up those right angle parts too - cheaper than the fixed jigs and therefore more useful in different situations as well. Keep building dude! Again I like your non-pretentious builds and demeanor. Cheers!
Chuck! I appreciate you man! Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to watch! Get yourself some property with a dedicated shop and you can build it up! That’s what I want eventually.
@@WoodNerds yah of course a large garage or shop w/ aircon would be dope but... we'll see. :) not a lot of houses w/ that much land here in Phx. gotta move out far for that.
I hear that! If you find it, the price is outrageous!
Thank you
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Great Job! This gives me some great ideas as I have been contemplating a folding bench!
Thank you! When you build one, let me know if you came up with any upgrades I missed!
Why did you use two pieces for your top and if you did this over would you use two 3/5 in plywood or one 3/5 inch plywood. I was going to use one, but if you think two is better (stronger), I'll use two. My concern is the weight of the bench with over 150 lbs of plywood alone , not counting the weight of the legs and braces.
What is the total weight of the build overall?
Great build!!!
Hey, thanks man!
So two pieces are needed if you’re routing the T Track out. Otherwise you’ll only be left with a small amount of material in those areas, making your top extremely weak!
The weight when building is definitely a concern but if you have help it’s not that bad, afterwards it’s nice because it aids the overall stability of a the bench when you work with it. It has to be around the 200 lbs range.
Using regular plywood instead will save some weight (melamine is a little heavier than plywood I believe).
This build was worth it to me. I love this bench. Next time you have a buddy over, you get to set it up and hoist it down. I used mine as an out feed table when cutting some drawers and mdf the other day.. worked like a dream.
builds like this make me wish i had a wall to put this stuff on. i have plenty of workbench space, but this is just too cool.
Thanks man! Sorry to hear it won’t workout for you though.
@@WoodNerds only cuz i'm a damn hoarder lol. might do a variation on it on the outside of the garage for an outdoor work bench.
That would be cool!
I definitely have a new project ahead of me now!!
Dude, it’s worth it. One of my favorite projects to date. It was a lot of fun to put together.
Great job! I love your videos. The hoist is an awesome idea.
Thank you, Darlene! It’s been an awesome addition to the shop! I appreciate you watching!
Cool table.
Thank you! Yeah, it’s been an awesome addition to the shop!
Good idea to use that hoist bro. The bench came out real nice 👊😎
Thanks Mike! Feels legit to be using a hoist haha. I appreciate you stopping by man!
Building my first foldable wall workbench in a couple weeks. In my brainstorming session I had the same idea about automated lifting. The crane was my first idea, converting a motorized tv stand with guide rails was my second. Being pressed for time I decided on the first. I've watched several of these videos and this is the first I've found with the same idea. Yep, you earned this sub, sir. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome! Great minds haha. Let me know how it turns out! I appreciate the sub!!!
Great to see this concept working. This is what I’m thinking about doing for my Cnc machine table. Is there any twisting or movement. I’m planning on building a torsion box to help. Mine is going to have to fold the other way, with the bottom against the wall because of the carriages. Can you see an issue with this idea? Apart from the weight I’d have to hold initially.
Hey Matt! That’s an awesome idea! I’d really have to work out the mechanics of that to try to comment. You could also use a lift and pulleys to lift it straight up. There is minimal movement or twisting, although I’ve noticed a little bit of a downward bow in the middle of the table, but I think a center stretcher would help keep that in check (might add one myself).
Just….. wow.
7:20 “as you can tell, I did a really great job” 😂😂😂 Great work Tyler! Enjoyed it, as always!
Lol always busting my chops! Thanks for watching Tim!
I just found your channel a few days ago while I was looking for a garage work bench/ storage system.. I've now watched almost all of your videos.. Awesome! I can appreciate that you don't have "contractor grade" tools like myself and the average DIYer - Harbor Freight miter saw, Ryobi tools, etc.. How has that miter saw been by the way? It's next on my list.. Keep the videos coming.. I'll keep watching them. Also, Nice 2nd gen Tacoma - Do I see a high clearance rear bumper? You wheel? Cheers, man!
Hey Matt! I appreciate that man! The tools I have now brought me a long way. I think it’s time to start upgrading. I’ve recently noticed the miter saw deflects enough to be frustrating. Also, I’ve noticed on mine the positive stops for angles is off. Thinking about a dewalt or MAYBE the Hercules miter from harbor freight (I’ve heard good things for the price). My table saw also has issues. Thinking about getting serious and buying a saw stop at some point. I try to be very safety conscious but have heard stories where kickback takes a few fingers off. They are crazy expensive but with the amount of time I plan on putting behind that saw I think it’s worth it to know my fingers are safe haha.
I’ve got a few good videos in the works, pretty stoked about these ones.
Thanks! I love my truck! Wish I had more time to take her out and build on her more. Been super busy. How about you? Have a truck?
@@WoodNerds Thanks for the advice! I'll look closer at the miter saw options.. Mine would be for occasional use - nothing much at all. My dad has a great work shop that I use with his guidance - built a nice book case for my 3 year old's bedroom - stuff like that. It's a blast and am starting to build my own workshop. I suppose the amount you use it, it's worth it to spend the extra money.
As for the truck - I do! On my second Tacoma - currently have a 2018 TRD off road that I've done a bunch to. I go camping in remote places so it's on King Coilovers, roof top tent, 33's, etc.. It's the real money pit to be honest!
Love the videos man!
Of course! Happy to help. That’s awesome man! It feels good to build something. I love looking around my house and seeing things I’ve built in each room and how much they’ve evolved over time. I want to do cabinets here pretty soon but want a saw that can make more precise cuts before I spend all that cheddar on lumber.
That’s sick! How do you like the newer gens? I’ve been thinking about selling mine and upgrading haha.
I hate spending money, but I love the way she looks when I walk away haha.
Mine is a 13 trd sport 4x4, 3” toytec lift, 33” BFG tko, bilstein 5100’s.
I want 35’s and a 6” lift, but I’m pretty sure I’ll have to trim the fenders and definitely have to regear.
@@WoodNerds Nice! I had a 2012 before which I loved, but I really love my current truck.. The gearing is the truck's Achilles Heel, but April mine goes in for 5.29 gears. Should make it much better. Cheers,man!
Great video! Where did you get the spring loaded pins?
Thanks man! I got those at Lowe’s where they sell the gate latches and hinges.
