That ratchet strap trick was a great idea
-
Love your channel. Thanks for the plans as well. It’s good to see people like you and Matthew Peach helping people.
-
So glad you showed what to do when it's not square - as I am sure almost everyone watching this video has ran into and something most videos don't show because it's naturally perfect for them. Thank you!
-
What a great video. I've watched several of these trying to figure out how to design my modular benches, but I think you added a few novel ideas on how to keep things looking clean and even. Thanks!
-
I have a tight workshop and I was thinking of the same idea for workshop tables. I stumbled on your video and you have inspired me to make these tables. I want to take these tables to the next level and make then one with my talbe saw integrated in one and the other as a work table unit with bench dog holes. Thank you for the video.

Projects like this, presented by someone who clearly loves their craft, give budding diy woodworkers like myself a lot of confidence to tackle the more "scary" projects we'd like to try. in the middle of a complete redesign of my workspace in a long, rectangular stoarage shed right now and these modular benches are exactly what I need in my workspace. MUCH appreciated!
-
This is totally what I need! I think the only change I might make is leveling casters for my uneven floor. I really like the simplicity and it’s totally doable with my skill set! Thanks! Joe
-
Great idea for garage shops. Can be used for outfeed tables, assembly tables, miter saw stations, etc.
-
I'm so grateful I came across your channel. The videos are full of the right information, and you have a natural way of communicating to keep us glued to our seats. Keep up the great work.

Great video and even better plans! I am 6’0” and was hesitant about using the same leg length of your original plans. However, I wanted to modify one of the workbenches into a flip top for my mitre/miter saw. The clearance provided by your original height was perfect for my Bosch! I used 2x6 for the upper horizontal supports to give me the space needed for my flip top bearings & bar and modified the vertical legs mid support to accommodate the wider 2x6. Thanks for the great content and inspiration!
-
I've watched a dozen or so videos on workbenches and just watched yours. I have to start in my garage until I get my workshop built. This is perfect!! It is also relatively budget friendly. I am so impressed Bear Mountain man! Can't wait to get started.
-
I have to say, I downloaded your workplans and I am very impressed. Most work plans are sloppy leaving a lot of gaps or holes you have to fill in yourself. These are GREAT!
-
Just downloaded the plans and let me tell you I am so excited to get started. I have been looking for a workbench for a while and you have made the type of workbench I've been looking for. Your plans are great and well laid out for anyone to follow. Thank you.
-
Great idea for the two separate tables that can clamp together. I'm setting up a tiny workshop in 10x16 shed and these will work great for that! Thank you for posting!
-
Love the video and plans. I built one table for my son-in-law’s tiny workroom. I was able to build in my shop, disassemble the cross braces and reassemble in his shop. Worked perfectly. This is a solid bench design. I’m thinking double sheets on top to add dog holes. Thank You
-
Fantastic channel, this has given me the boost I needed to sort my cluttered garage out. This will give me all the space I need. Keep going with the channel and I hope to be making more stuff soon. The miter saw bench was great as I have just bought a new mitre saw, so will be building that first.
-
I measure diagonals to square as you do. What I really like about this video is you explain how to straighten it out. I never thought of using a strap clamp. I previously used my entire body force to will the things square. Your way is a bit better. Lots of bits better really. Great tips all along the video. Thanks for the nice job.
-
I have downloaded a few different plans from different ppl and I have to say these plans are genuinely the best ones so far! Very clear and easy to understand for literally anyone!
-
I appreciate your explanations. More so showing the tools and methods of your building. And then working in the beginner fashion. I am a beginner. God Bless. - Jim

Finally just started building this after 6 months of reorganizing and french cleat building. The video and pdf are awesome. This is coming together nicely. I have had a planer in the box since Christmas and broke it out to take your advice on the 2x4's. Amazing results Thank you for the plans
