Peg board provides an excellent bug habitat 🤫 Would be cool to put LED strip lights behind the peg board 🤪

For me, it would be one of those projects that starts temporary and turns permanent lol!

With the cost of lumber and hardware, ( looked like he used an excessive amount of screws) I bet this bench cost much more than the miter saw that sets on it.

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

Thank YOU for following along!!

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. ❤

First time I'm seeing such a sturdy temporary permanent looking work bench.

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.👍🏼🇦🇺

Was anyone else just waiting for that grin when he used the new saw for the first time! Love your videos!

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 KZreadr in the KZread 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.

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!

Just the tonic after a lousy day! Thanks Matt 👍

I’ve said it before but you make it look so easy! And then there’s the bloopers 😂 ❤

Great job. Been meaning to build one myself but I don’t have as much space, only 4x8 ft… might make it 4x4. Newer home and the “2 car garage” can barely fit 2 cars. You actually can’t park two SUV’s or trucks, no space.

You outdid yourself, again! For a temporary bench, it's very utilitarian! Take care!

I really enjoyed seeing this process. What a sturdy work bench!

WOW! Lots of great pointers! Need to do this in my shop🤗 Thank you!

Solid build! Perfect timing too, because my shed desperately needs organization. I recently got a big compound miter saw for my deck build and now I have nowhere to store it!

My dad built a temporary workbench out or railroad ties in 1958. It was still there in 2009 when he sold the place.

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.....

That garage would look great with the epoxy+flake flooring!

That’s going to work awesome for all the work you’re going to do to your new house!

My garage is covered in pegboard. I would not have put it there but wow, after having lived with it for 14 years, there is NO way I'd rip it out and put up drywall. It holds SO SO SO many tools. All easy to see, easy to reach. In a few places I screwed strong magnetic bars onto the pegboard to hold tools more compactly. There are some old upper cabinets on the wall also, all with no doors. In places I wanted to store items not on pegboard hooks, I just screwed boards onto the wall and used nails and other holders to store shovels, racks, hoes etc. Pegboard here has turned out to be incredibly useful! I might have a different opinion if it was the stuff with the smaller rather than the larger holes. These hooks are stout and have no problem holding more than one hammer or F style clamp. It is easy to rearrange the tools countless times. I leave no odd holes in the wall and I only have to touch the exact items I wish to reposition. The magnetic bars are where I put screw drivers and small pliers on edge, allen wrenches, cold chisels, nail sets, paint can openers. There is one workbench with doors and drawers and some plastic drawers on shelves but the vast majority of tools are all within view and reach and I love it. I have benches on both sides of my saw and learned fast that, no I can't mount a vise on that left bench, no I can't put something tall by the end, no I can't have permanent storage ON the bench that comes forward more than the fence on my saw, etc etc. Your floor looks much like most garage floors, it only has to hold stuff. Garage work spaces only NEED to be functional and are one area of a home where aesthetics seem much less important than function! Can't imagine where your comment about IF you have to spend thousands and rip it out came from. Looks perfectly normal from here!

nice! Makes me want to clean out my garage and build some benches.

6:45 depth. The guy who had that workspace knew what he was doing. The pegboard is on point.

I’m always so impressed by how well you think through and anticipate things. I enjoy your channel.

Well done Matt! That workshop will never fall down now lol Cheers Ray (UK)

Awesome job! The bloopers at the end were a great bonus! 😂

Wow☺️ the workbench looks great😊 I used to love helping my dad with his projects. Thank you for bringing back those memories through your video❤

Great choice on the 779. Price is amazing for what you get.

I don’t need a big workbench but I’m making a small workbench/storage out of an old dresser. I watched this from beginning to end, no fast forward. You always make everything interesting and easy to follow. Btw, I’m a 67 yo woman and semi-handy.

Since temporary becomes permanent, you did the right thing and built a very nice workbench. I would consider putting on top a layer of formica or something similar, just to avoid grease and oil to be sucked in, if you place some piece of machiney on it. It's easier to clean too. =) Cheers.

Get a laser level, makes working alone much easier.

Holy peg board Batman.

Right!? 😂

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.

I didn’t do a ton of research on saw options… I just passed by this one so many times at Home Depot that I had it in my head “I’m gonna get that saw one day” kinda like Wayne in Wayne’s world with the guitar. 🤣

looks fricken amazing. great job!

If you store the shop vac right next to the saw, you can cut a hole to pass the hose up to the back of the saw and the power cord up to the outlet.

Great video The number one thing I would recommend is your saw setup. Add one more stud centered underneath the table and then, instead of screws, use nuts and bolts. That will give less vibration and lead to better cuts with less tearout.

The day has FINALLY arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice way to use up your old wood pieces! It actually blends in! :)

That's an awesome bench brother! Good job

This is awesome, A workbench I think I can build! Thankyou!

Great job Matt. Will help with organization for sure.

Love it, great use of your new space 👍

Love it man! Loving the new content in the new house!

I left a hole under the back of my slide miter saw so most of the sawdust falls into a trash barrel. I have tried different ways to collect the dust, but the dust collector hose interferes with cutting. I think the best solution is to create a box to direct the sawdust into the barrel.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll see if I can come up with something in the future!

I just moved from CA to NC and have lots to DIY, including a garage that has a decent workbench and shelves, thankfully, but needs a bit of work. Your videos always help me out, so thanks!

I believe I can make this. Thanks great job!

Dang dude, your temporary workbench is how I built my permanent workbench. Is the permanent one going to be titanium?!

My only concern is maybe throwing a couple supports under the saw section so it doesn't sag over time .. looks amazing!!

Great catching up with you, Matt. Masterful job as always! 👍👍👍

Great job. You make it look easy.

the only thing i'm shocked about is that the new saw isn't a ryobi. XD bench looks great tho!

Great workbench and you got a lot of tools, jealous ;-)

Looks amazing!

Hello looking awesome good luck

Love it, great job!🎉

Looks good! Well done.

No way that's going to wind up being temporary. Too well built. $10 says 5 years from now you are still using it.

The Fixer 👍

Nice job, want to come over to my house ? Also, on the saw base, shimming is the best option. Belive it or not I had the same thing and the humidity changed the clearance seasonally. It's easier to lift up than sink down.

Thanks man! I will say, Pocket holes would work well for ALOT of this build 😊

Awesome build!!! I like your style and your work process. You remind me of myself during my years as a carpenter/ builder. One thing I noticed right away was your use of proper terminology regarding plumb and level. Often I watch DIYers who regard any use of a level as all things vertical and horizontal is referred to as level. It's as if the word Plumb did not exist. I worked in the building trades for 8 years building apartment buildings and many other types. In addition I worked in an Architect's office for 21 years. So I know quality tradesmen when I see it.

Would be nice to router the sharp corners off

Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Lovely relaxing content. Amazing workbench build. It turned awesome 👍

Like always, excellent job. Very well thought.

Now for some curtains!

Great looking and very practical. This was interesting to watch.

Love it!!!

Awesome build and thoroughly enjoyable, every last screw :) Thanks for your content, always enjoy.

Very well thought out and built. I wish my math was as good.

AWESOME!!!😊

Great job and excellent presentation thanks a lot for your efforts

Damn that’s quite the transformation

It looks great!

The neatest and cleanest a workbench will be is when it is done being built. 😂 nice bench😊

Kick Ass Work Bench. Golly, you sure have a lot of "guy tool stuff"! You could have made a whole other video just showing how and why you organized it the way you did. I love a good organization video. Hope you're putting shelves across the back wall to get some stuff up/off the bench for more work surface. Let the projects begin! The area above the garage, as awesome and huge as it is, I would think putting a work shop up there wouldn't be that practical. I wouldn't want to carry materials, supplies, projects up and down the stairs and always needing someone to assist, Having it in the garage, ground level makes so much more sense; better than in the basement. Nicely done!

Looks great!

Looks great. So much easier to find what you need. 👍

Great job on your not permanent work bench.

Awesome workbench.

Great job, I love how it looks. Very excited to see what you do next.
