Every Workbench Should Have These!

This bench is a proof of concept idea… a beta test, in 2024 plywood is still expensive, so I’m going to build this #workbench out of a more cost-effective. SO that means no hardwoods, no plywood, or 2x4s either.
When building a workbench you need to keep in mind what you need today with room for tomorrow.
I don’t always need a larger bench in my #smallshop, so that that can grow with me as I continue my woodworking journey is a must.
I hope that this Workbench build gives you some inspiration.
I want to say thank you to the 1,434 people who have chosen to subscribe to the channel and for you taking the time to watch. I hope to see you next time, it wouldn’t be the same without you!

Instructionals without ego are an absolute blessing and the fastest way to actually get young people interested. Thank you.
-
“Constantly overestimating my skill level“ 😂 this whole video is so relatable!
-
As a total newb, I appreciate that you shared your mistakes and how you fixed them. Watching you build this without a gazillion dollars worth of fancy tools and machines gives me hope that I can accomplish projects like this now and not need to take out a second mortgage. Yes, I can relate to how you work and I find that encouraging.
-
Nothing goes perfect the first time. The second try includes everything you learned the first time. Thanks for sharing the mistakes with the successes.
-
The struggle — limited skills + limited budget — is real. Thanks for keeping it that way.
-
Watching your video left me feeling really good. Now I know I am NOT the worse WOOD BUTCHER in the world. Thanks!!!

A lot of people don't finish that quote. The whole quote goes like this. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." Just something to think about.
-
Being older than you, I have not only made the same mistakes as you so honestly show, but I have also expanded the suite. thank you for making me feel included in an eager but imperfect cabal.
-
This was the most brutally painful build I've ever witnessed and I salute you, fully. And the sheer reckless chutzpah of using OSB - OMG! All that wood dust and wood chips from something made of wood dust and wood chips, I feel I need to break out the wet/dry vac in my office just from having watched this. Great video. Thank you.

Having a plan is one thing, having a good plan is another thing. Having a bench so you’re not on the ground like a caveman… Priceless.
-
I've got a workbench but started watching this and enjoyed it till the end. Good job.
-
Dollar tree sells shower curtains. I wouldn’t recommend them for showering but at $1.25 they’re great for glue-ups.
-
You got a CNC before you got clamps. That's ridiculous and I respect it.
-
Dude, killing me! You are my soul shop brother. None of the other pretentious, perfect tool wielding, endless-money-for-tools channels are remotely realistic like you. Keep it up, man! Subscribed with a vengeance...
-
Nice work! I have a feeling it's gonna work better than you're expecting, and version two may not happen for a looooong time.
-
love the humor. and the stellar inclusion of transformers music. 🤘

Dude! I love the extension wing idea! My shop is almost the same width (11.5 ft W x 18ft L) and have the same problem with space. I have a general 6ft workbench along one wall but no good surface for assembly and outfeed. Really dig the idea of having a modular surface, you could totally make all kinds of different wings that have specific features like slots, holes, mount points, rollers, etc. Very cool idea!
-
Love your outlook on wood working. Your sense of humor is great. And your wings are .... well .... brilliant.
-
Entertaining. And that is the best compliment you can give a presenter.
-
It's refreshing to see a YouTuber admitting the mistakes they've made. I'm fortunate in the Ron Paulk lives near by me in Florida. Of course, I would not knock on his door and ask him endless mind numbing questions but you've done a great job answering mine. I just subscribed to your channel and look foward to your projects. I like how you added a little of the outstakes like Fishers Shop invented.
