How to Build a Workbench. Easy, Cheap & Sturdy 😁

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to Build a Workbench. Build this Cheap, Sturdy Workbench for your Garage. A workbench is a must for your garage or shed. When it comes to building a workbench l needed to satisfy three criteria. The workbench was required to be tough, cheap to build (second hand or reclaimed materials are fine. It doesn't have to look pretty as pretty soon it is going to be trashed) and sturdy enough to take a beating without falling to bits.

    Nice one Shane. A great, study workbench with really clear instructions. I made it pretty much like the video. I did use 30mm ply for the top which makes it a little more solid but also allowed me to screw it from below through the frame with 100mm screws (also recessed 15mm or so into the frame so the screws ran about 25mm into the ply) so that I didn't have screw heads showing / interrupting the smooth surface of the work top. Turned out really well. Thanks very much for all the ideas, Shane.

Thanks again, I think I've found a new hobby when it isn't freezing cold in Minnesota. Can I make a suggestion? A whole lot of my friends are having babies and it would be fun to try and make a reclaimed changing table or something like that. Thanks for the great videos again.

    TIP: When using wood screws to join two pieces of wood together. Drill the pilot-hole in one piece of wood a tad wider than the diameter of the screw, so that it slides right through. Now offer up the second piece behind the first and clamp them together. The screw will pull that second piece of wood really tight ...no real need for glue. This works well with both hard and soft wood.

  • @tubalcain1

    Very nice and strong........ HOWEVER... You should never glue the top down to the frame. Screws are more than enough to hold that top down. If you ever need to replace that top because of damage or spills or whatever the case may be it will be much easier to remove it just by removing the screws. It would be a fiasco to remove it if it's glued down.

Along with some kind of plyboard table top, that can serve as a temp (or maybe semi-permanent) work station for a while till you get your own table like this one, made up!

    Well Uncle Knacker, I am back to revisit this Awesome Video. Becoming entirely tired of the builder who constructs benches utilizing butt joints relying on screws or bolts to bear the weight of the boards. I built my first ever workbench a few years ago at my old apartment I. Biddeford, Maine. I have once again moved, requiring me to build another workbench. The joinery utilized here is phenomenally strong. I also intend to 3 May 2018, to build and overhead bin storage area atop the workbench. Thanks so much again, for posting this video. These joints are ridiculously strong. Lee From Norway,Maine.

    I've watched at least a dozen videos on bench builds, yours was one of the best. Despite not using Imperial measurements I picked up some great tips. I have been accused of over building but now see there are others of the same persuasion. Would like to see more of your builds.
