    Still not enoug tools. The pick-up is missing. How can I do this with a Miata? ๐Ÿ˜œ

    I’m just getting started on my woodworking journey but I love the simplicity of this bench with options to expand it as needed. I want to integratea table saw as well so I figure maybe removing one of the ribs and then building a small shelf for the table saw would work. Maybe adding 2 extra legs to fully support the table saw?

    As it turns out. I watched for the bench build but had a laugh with kayaks. As I kayak also.

    That is awesome. you could cut some V shaped pvc rollers for the top of the workbench.

    Hola! ๐Ÿ–Really great project and video. Glad you "disguised" it because many would have glossed over it. There is a lot of info to be gained from here and can be applied on many other projects and builds. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good one, Adios!๐Ÿ‘Š

    I moved into a new house and need a workbench in the garage. I think this is something I can manage with the tools on hand (ie. no table saw or drill press or wood working appliances.) Thanks for the plans!



  12. matthew ortiz on October 31, 2023 at 10:30 pm

    Love them! Hobie kayaks bro. I admit a little pricey but to me worth it.



  13. Darin on October 31, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    thanks



  14. Jason Watson on October 31, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    Great looking bench and thanks for providing the plans. I think with a bit of modification to make the bottom ‘shelf’ not as wide so a chair could slide right up and maybe make it a little taller, this would make a great electronics / crafts workbench.



  15. Kathy Phetteplace on October 31, 2023 at 10:34 pm

    That is so awesome!! What a great idea!



  16. Campfire Woodworks on October 31, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    Clever. And youโ€™re 100% right. I likely would have passed on that vid if you advertised as a Kayak rack. BUTโ€ฆ your half-lap design is going into my upcoming bench build. Appreciate that nugget as well as all your content.



  17. Gozeto17 on October 31, 2023 at 10:40 pm

    Great idea. This cart to me, only looks a little different from your workbench plan. Love them both bro. Keep up the amazing work.



  18. Alan Kohn on October 31, 2023 at 10:46 pm

    I’m glad you did this. It drives me up the wall when you go to a wood working channel a they go "You can build this cheap and easy work bench at home " then proceed to use ten grand worth of professional table saws, jointers, planers and other assorted pro power tools which let me assure you I don’t have at home I don’t know abut anyone else.
    If I was going to build your Kayak rack / work bench is I might add some bracing to stop it racking overtime



  19. Bryan Willis on October 31, 2023 at 10:49 pm

    Tried to down load your plans. After I put in all the info you ask for it looped back to the beginning. After 3 times I decided your plans are that valuable. How did you get so many subscribers?

    Nicely built! Iโ€™ve done many half laps with a circular saw I always start with the accurate cut first, so that I donโ€™t go past it by accident while Iโ€™m quickly making the interior cuts.
