In this video, I build a workbench in my garage. I moved into this house a few months ago and trying to do any project without knowing where my tools are has been annoying and a waste of time. I want to customize it with drawers and add shelves to the top of the wall but I'm not 100% set on the layout. For now, I took some scrap wood from my old house, made a spot for my new miter saw, and finally got organized.

    Really enjoyed this! It reminds me of watching my dad work in the garage when I was a kid. He had it all organised in a ‘60’s era way. Screws, nails, hinges etc were in jars attached to the underside of his shelves. He made his own bench with a shelf underneath. It had all sorts of boxes with his tools and old light switches, telephone parts, door handles etc. I was an inquisitive girl and ended up being an okay handywoman! Tnks for your great content.👍🏼🇦🇺

    The most beefy temporary workbench I've ever seen.

    Matt and Mrs. I’m so proud of you, your new home, growing family and growing channel. Your hard work and creativity are paying off. I’m here cheering you on in your new adventures. The garage shop build out and organization is so satisfying. God bless you all. ❤

    Hey Matt, I have a great idea for you! Since I know how much you love spray foam, you can use spray foam to insulate behind the pegboard walls. Just pop the tip into each hole and start spraying!!!!!!

    One of the best free things that someone can do to support a YouTuber in the YouTube algorithm click-through rate (CTR) is by clicking and playing the video, all the way through, the very first time you see any of their video thumbnails. Don't save it for later, play it through right away, and if you don't have time to actually watch it right then and there, save it to the watch it later playlist, and then go back and watch it again.

    This new chapter in you and your family's life is exciting to see. Thanks again always for the years and years of vids of the projects. CHEERS

    First time I'm seeing such a sturdy temporary permanent looking work bench.
  • @woolseym
    You took scraps and turned them into a work of art, bravo.
  • Was anyone else just waiting for that grin when he used the new saw for the first time! Love your videos!
  • @skitzochik
    If only my guy kept his tools/garage organized like this...IF ONLY
  • @zxborg9681
    I had a 30 inch workbench a while back, and it was really awkward to reach for tools hanging on the wall behind it, so I cut it down to 24. But your bench looks great, really solid, and it's great to have loads of surface area!
  • @ca6177
    You outdid yourself, again! For a temporary bench, it's very utilitarian! Take care!
  • @wendydix5534
    I’ve said it before but you make it look so easy! And then there’s the bloopers 😂 ❤
  • I see this cool guys point......It's not a good idea to do a full complete garage renovation when there is so many other projects to do......However you need an organized "headquarters"......So a clean organized temporary solution is the best alternative.....
  • @shanaproctor100
    I really enjoyed seeing this process. What a sturdy work bench!

    That's a nice solid workbench. I went through the same thing when moving into my house a few years ago. Garage was a huge mess until I installed the old kitchen cabinets and countertops. When you said you got a new miter saw and were building a workbench around it, I was sure it would be a Bosch axial glide. Those save you a good 12 inches of depth from not having those rails sticking out from the back.
