Your Shop NEEDS this Mobile Workbench || Free Plan/Shopping List (Tips and Trick)
Hey Everyone, I hope you all are enjoying the last few days of 2022. On this episode we build a new versatile work bench for my garage that allows me to use the table saw more efficiently. This bench is also mobile, added a ton of workspace, and is perfect for a small home shop. This thing came out great and if you’re interested there is a free google sheet link for a shopping list with calculator and reference drawing to see how much this will cost you and help you build it! I hope you all enjoy the video and if you have any questions leave a comment down below!

What program are you using to make plans?
I want to build a workbench similar to yours but with slightly different dimensions; 30 1/2" H X 34" W X 8′ L. Would it be hard to modify yours? Keeping in mind I only a table saw a miter saw a jig saw and a circular saw.
Did you secure the table saw to the bench? I have the same table saw, I made a small stand for it I secured it with some conduit clamps.
Thanks for making the plans available! I subbed from this video alone. I’ll be building this bench this weekend with my brother. Great video!
I would recommend that you flip the power strip over so that the plug is upside down. Just in case if the plug comes partly loose and a nail happens to land just right…. But if you have the ground on the top, it will make it difficult for a short to occur
love this work bench
I predict that this will give you pleasure every time you use it!
Did you use the #4 countersink bit from the Amazon link you shared?
Great build looks very sturdy, but not a thankyou mention for your wifes much needed help?
Excellent work!👍🏻. I couldn’t find the material list?
In the video you mention a cut list, but the spreadsheet shows the materials list. Did you by any chance make a cut list google sheet?
Nice project.
BTW, lots of other people make those quick flip bits; (Dewalt, Kobalt, etc) They’re cheap enough that I keep a drawer in the shop with like 5 of them, each setup for a specific screw (I tend to use Kreg and Spax, so 90% of what I’ll ever do is square drive, and T15, 20 & 25) with the correct drill bit for the pilot hole, and the driver. Makes life super simple.
Yep, that cost $150
Enjoyed the video, I’m having to give up my shop because of a move, but hope to another in the future. You missed a sales point by not having the equipment you used listed along with the tools used in your description with links. I had to go to the spreadsheet to find those items. I have been looking for removable table casters like the ones you used. Do you get an affiliate payout for recommending those. If I’m going to purchase them, I would like you to get some earnings off the purchase. Nice, neat, sturdy design!!!!
Looks like you haven’t tried your miter gauge yet, you need slots in your outfeed table that match the ones in the saw or it’s not going to work. Don’t ask me how I know this…
What type of videos would you like to see me make?
Thanks for the video, what counter center bit are you using? Can you pass along a link please? https://youtu.be/0i50bWeOwnI?t=266
I built a very similar table about 3 years ago including casters and power strip. I think it is wider than yours and maybe a bit longer. I bought half a sheet of plywood for the top and I was going to trim it down but ended up leaving it a bit oversize. It hangs off about 3" on the side away from the wall and the end, and hangs over farther on the side against the wall. I figured I could always cut it down farther if it turned out to be too big but you can’t have too much flat surface when you are working.
stop watching videos of these idiots showing you how to make your "jobsite" portable saw into a stationary saw on a "custom table" it’s not meant for that, it is meant to be tossed in the back of a pickup truck and on to the jobsite. It is the most inaccurate tool you have (if you have it) and also the loudest, by far, by far far far. Get rid of it, sell it to a jobsite contractor and get a real cabinet saw on wheels, and thank me later. you are welcome.
I really enjoyed this video. I’m going to make a version of your great idea. I will also be back to your channel… Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Alri bro.. I built my 1st workbench a couple of weeks ago and I need to fix it after seeing yours.. The round edges I left on bcos my table saw is trash. I am waiting to get enough money up to buy me one of those big ass Cabinet saws but they cost an arm and a leg man.. I really want one so I think I can get a proper good one at Axminster for about 3 Grand or thereabouts and those guys also make the best Bandsaws too which have those heavy duty cast irons tables..
Love ur build man. It legit a top bench with integrated saw also which is what I shoulda really built but as I SAID MY SAW IS STRAIGHT TRASH BRO,, LMAO
Anyways I sub’d to ur channel and liked and shared the video man,, U got skills nad I really liked the tool cabinets u have there in the background too.. They’re awesome man.. My shop is about 16×10 or near to it. It’s very small and I’m having trouble thinking clearly when I get into it after working all day.. It’s full of tools if all types all over the floor, benches covered in crap and sheet wood everywhere.. I cannot for the life of me clear the mess atm..LOL
I will get there man..
Best of luck with ur channel in 2023..
Very nice! I’m planning a similar build and will be incorporating some of your ideas. I really like the detail of squaring the 2×4’s.
How do I download the the plans for this workbench for free?
really love this design out of all the ones out there this one seems the most approachable to me and best to suit my needs. do you happen to have a cut list available for this looking to start building it as soon as possible.
$150 well you should try wit prices in Australia. Wouldn’t have much change from $1000.
Wow do I rly need that much stuff from kreg? Lol fck advertising
wow nice job. thanks.
Screwing the screw in reverse for a little bit also stops splitting.
Use pipe clamps. You can change their length by changing the pipe screwed into the clamp ends and the pipe is relatively inexpensive. Bessey H style pipe clamps are designed for this purpose. If you need a 18" clamp or a 4 foot clamp, you just change the pipe piece or put a coupler between the pipes to extend it to whatever length you need
Awesome job bro
never seen anyone square up those 2x4s, i wish i had seen this video 1 week earlier since i would have done the same thing when i build my first work table. those wheels are great too.
Great video. Where did you get the wheels? Do you have a link for those?
So I made nearly the identical table about 3-4 years ago. I was working out of a small shop and space was everything. I made mine (again, nearly identical) but low enough to slide under my workbench for out of the way storage. The miter storage deck was on slides so I could slide it out for easier lifting and where you put your compressor, I made a small bin for blades. I did learn to build a shield for the miter area as the table saw did coat everything in dust. I still use it to this day, one of my best and most used things I’ve built.
I like it a lot. If I build this I think I’d maybe make some wood inverted "L" block or plumbing pipe clamps to hold the table saw in place.
I literally just designed a very similar project just yesterday in Fusion 360 and it was also my first full design using it! Great video 👌🏻
Great job! My only suggestion would be to add miter slots to the top of the outfeed table. This will allow your crosscut sled more room to slide.
Nice sawbench! Just got same saw for Christmas so this is perfect for my small shop. I’ll add woodvise at opposite end.
Very nice and easy explanation. Thank you for posting the plans.
Love that you made this to have your table saw mounted permanently. I think it would work perfectly with an additional table that has the same dimensions but without the table saw shelf on it. This would allow you to have an outfeed table as well as doubling as more work space.
Is there one would like to teach how to use fusion 365 for wood working ?
Hey what design software are you using?
Don’t try taking up acting.
Nice bench. Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing, looks good.
Great build! Thanks !
Adjustable feet nice touch, especial when planning on using on garage floor. 👍
Very nice build. One thing I would’ve done different is use a replaceable hardboard sheet (masonite) instead of the melamine… but regardless, it’s a great project
👍👍 Nice Job 👍👍
I despise working on the ground. This is very nice
Great job
wait, only 1 trip to the hardware store and not having to return for something we forgot? something doesnt add up here…
cool
