Ultimate Workbench Upgrades! Built in Slide Out Seat

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great youtube.com/post/UgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWx… Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

A suggestion - Attach a dolly wheel to the bottom of the stool to ensure it does not fail in the future. Those slides will eventually fail with extended use.

casually does front flip off of finished workbench love your energy man, also really like how creative you are with your projects.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection youtube.com/post/UgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6… I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

That french cleat for the saw is pure genius.

Dogs are some of the smartest people I know. Your pair are pretty sharp. By the way, your work bench is brilliant. Somebody mentioned putting a shelf by the USB ports. It's half a good idea. Put a groove in the shelf to stand your phone up.

The patience he has with the dogs getting in his work space. Great dog dad right there.

Hey, dude. For the seat, why don’t you attach a wheel/caster and cut a notch (or maybe fold-up wheels) so that when you extend the seat, the weight is not supported by the slides alone?

It’s so encouraging to see such genius at work. You’ve got a wonderful, fulfilling life ahead of you. ‘Love the dogs getting your attention.

Definitely going to build one like this. It’s a beast. God job man

Ben that french cleat on the side of the bench is GENIUS!!! I was so looking forward to this build but that table saw out-feed cleat exceeded my expectations!!!

It’s good to see you were properly supervised during the build. Amazing work!!

The French cleats to the edge of the table are brilliant! I was thinking of routing a channel into a piece of ply or mdf skirting. It would accept the male profile of the cleat, so as to keep the perimeter of the workbench flush. You still get the functionality.

It's funny how I'm watching shop upgrade videos but I NEED to upgrade my shop as well. Great video though gives me Ideas for my shop! Thanks Ben

The year is 2040. Ben has continued to upgrade his workshop every day to the point where he can manufacture any product known to man with the push of a button.

I'd say thats the nearest workbench I have ever seen,and I'm 70.Your the BEST,THANKS FOR THE GREAT CONTENT.

Just want to start out by saying that this is an awesome design. I definitely am inspired to redo my main workbench. Also wanted to say that Rockler sells some amazing workbench casters that mount on the outside of the table legs and will fold out of the way so that the weight of the bench, while stationary, is completely on the legs/frame. They support up to 400 lbs a piece.

Enjoy your dogs. I lost mine over five years ago and I miss him so very much. I know they can be a pain when you're working, but you'll miss them, so enjoy them now! 🐶🐶🐶

Love it. I might suggest moving the power around the corner instead of right behind you. I feel like it might get in the way as you have things plugged in and you go to stand up? Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your videos.

I really enjoyed this, thanks. I'm busy with a workbench project so really enjoyed some of the tips you shared while building yours. Love your storage ideas too, so clean and uncluttered.
