Man, love the way this one turned out! Really interesting combination of traditional woodworking benches and more modern benches. Those non-trimmed edges on the workbench top are triggering the hell outta my OCD though, hah!

Dave!! Long with Jimmy and Bob, you've inspired me to build my own workshop! I've since built 3 workbenches! Before that, I'd never done any work before! Thank you!!

I love this style. And it's so true about not knowing what you need until you've work on one. I built my first work bench without knowing how I'd be using it. I now know I need something sturdy like this one. Thanks for sharing.

Ugh, I’ve been killing myself trying to plan runners for some cabinets. You just solved my problem with this video. Thank youuu!

First video I have watched of yours in the new shop. I love it, old school Make Something. Also, I didn't know how I would feel about the carpet, but I love it. I need to make my version of a modern workbench now. Sketchbook is out, designs are in progress. More like this David, love it.

Love this video, I've watched it 20 time so I could replicate your drawer system. They are going to make an awesome storage system for my Guitar Builds on the go. Thanks Dave

GREAT bench David. Maybe for the ends, cut a 1 1/2" rabbit, that way when you "end clamp" you are not clamping 3" plus the work piece but only 1 1/2" plus the work piece. Just a thought. I like those 6 little bottom pieces you put next to the floor, it really shows attention to detail AND the electrical source (no cords). Looking forward to the finishing video.

The bench turned out rad!! Can't wait to see it loaded up :)

...and you’ve inspired me again to make something cool! Thanks David.

Amazing Workbench, like the utilitarian storage solutions you have used as well as the incorporation of the air compressor and dust extractor. Brilliant workshop addition.

I really like this design! The two sides drawers look really useful. Looking forward to the next video!

Liking the 3d callouts for the sections as you work on them.

Really liked the floating 3D graphic on this one. Helped me to visualize what part you were working on during the build process and how it fit with the larger project. Looking good so far!

Love everything about this video, Teddy Broseveltte! The bench looks dope and it's not even completed! Part 2, part 2!

Man looks great. I would normally say drawers are a bad idea but your dust collection is so good in this shop you won't have an issues. Keep up the great projects!

Thanks! My dust collection isn't perfect yet but I'm working on it!!

This is a great design; thanks for sharing. I'm working on laying out a scaled down version for my 'shop'. As a beginner, I also like the fact that I can make the table (and use it )and then come back and finish with the draws as time allows.

All your builds look great and you make it look so easy! You are very inspiring!

I have been stuck on making a "woodworky" fancy bench from what I have been seeing, but this bench is so much closer to my style. Thanks for giving me a different perspective. Also, please keep your eye on the table saw; I want you to keep making videos.

Nice work. It's always cool to see another take on someone's perfect work bench. Can't wait for the next video.

Killer build brother thank you so much for sharing!

You're my hero. I discovered Kencraft from your videos and they're my go-to source for hardwoods. That place is a GD candy store.

Off to a great start. Can't wait to see it finished and pimped!

That's one hellava sexy bench, David! You've got me thinking of replacing my current work bench. Great project!

Great build! I have been using my modified Paulk bench as my main bench for too long and need to build a proper heavy bench. Leaning towards a Roubo style, but like the idea of some t-track. Can’t wait for part 2.

Absolutely love the drawers and their access from both sides.

One thing that really stood out for me in this video was how much you were concentrating whenever you were using the table saw. I think this is going to be a monster bench!

Some interesting ideas! I too have built my first full size woodworking table over the summer and I now have more idea's for a second one, much the same as you. Looking forward to the next part!

Dude, the new shop is kick ass!🤘Looking foward to future projects! Time to just have some fun!

This is a great looking bench, I also like my tools organized and close at hand, I could help but think how much more comfortable it looked when you were working on the floor with the carpet, I also have a big carpet offcut on the garage floor so im not sitting on the cold concrete. Great work, Love you channel.

Shop organization for the win! I really like your approach to the new shop by being intentional. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for an awesome build!! Great food for thought for my own future workbench build!

I'm looking to finally get a small home shop set up, and watching your videos really helps me get the ides flowing. Thanks!

Great job! You definitely did some new stuff in the production of the video and it shows. Very enjoyable to view, very inspirational to build . Thank you

great video david, looks like a beast of a workbench, i look forward to part 2:)

Man my work bench is jealous... Excited to see the finishing touches!

Hey I have that same respirator! It works great for welding! It is small enough that it easily fits under the welding hood and it doesn’t fog up glasses!

New shop is starting to come together! Looks dope. Nice bench build!!!

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Work bench envy! Love it.

I really like this bench. It seems really different from most that get put on KZread. I don't usually buy/follow plans but I think I would in this case.

Awesome work. Can't wait for part 2

Great project! Love your design. Very functional.

Look at you getting all fancy with the 3D model video overlay. Nice video!

Great workbench David! Lots of options for dog holes and vise placement - I can see where you might shift the top to one side for a face vise. Looking forward to the bells and whistles video where you complete it! - Jim

Sweet. I just got a dw745 and made a 4L'x3W' table for it with good space for me to work on. Installed outlets and the such. I estimate it weighs around 250 lbs and stays in place. I do have casters that retract so I can move it around when needed. Can't overstate how great it is to have a nice workbench you can count on after going years working off sawhorse and the such. Also, made sure to give myself some juicy edges to clamp to.

Sweet bench David!

I love the looks at 4:04, "What are you looking at, punk!?" Great looking take on a functional workbench. It's quite a departure from the norm where there's lots jointery involved in building a traditional woodworking workbench. The laminated soft maple top looks nice. However, it will be a good idea to take the time to add the dowels. I've done similar projects with 90 degree butt joints, glue and screws thinking that would be adequate. Each time I've added dowels the difference has been very noticeable.

nice drawer system and like the top!

Awesome Workbench my brother I love it, I will like to get the plans for this Workbench great project good job bro :)

The glue bot and a Bondo spreader is a killer combo. I face glued 1x matl together for a bed project, had to spread glue like a madman, they worked awesome. Enjoy the new shop, it's looking great

Nice job David. If you apply finish, I recommend drilling the dog holes after you finish the bench so the finish doesn't prohibit your holdfasts from grabbing the wood.

Really dig how you did the drawer runners on this.

David that is an excellent design and I appreciate the use of materials available to us at the local Blue or Orange store. If I build it and that is quite likely I will use Southern Yellow Pine for the top. Just to keep cost down. Thank you for this.

William Valentin what's the easy way to know if it's southern yellow at the box stores? I'm assuming it's something in between studs and the fancy stuff that's $10 a piece?

@rogermathews3035

Michael Durham southern yellow pine has an "syp" stamp on it and yellowish tint compared to normal whitewood. The easiest way I've found is that syp generally shows more grain patterns than studs or whitewood. And of course the price tag should say it...

WOW David you moved to a really nice big shop. Haven't been able to to keep up. I see I've missed so much. The shop looks great! Nice planet and all. Dude has been upping his game YEAH! Lol

Bench looks amazing. Use the same method for the top on my kitchen bench.

BOOM! what an amazing bench

Awesome! Great job!

Great unique workbench video.

I made some drawers like that for a different project. To make them slide smooth, I put melamine laminate on the sliding parts.Just ironed it on, and trimmed it flush to both sides...glides like magic.

Sean, may I ask you how your drawers are working out after a year of use. I like your idea with the melamine on the slides, just wondered if there has been any "wear" problem. Also, did you put it on both faces of the sliding surfaces or if not then on the drawer or the cabinet part of the slider?

Your new shop looks great. You should schedule your mini split coils to be cleaned every year. We had never had ours cleaned (in the house, not the shop) in 4 years of running. Over time, a light coat of dust sticks to the coils and breaks the surface tension of the water droplets and they drip off the coil down into the fan, missing the drain pan. Ours dripped a LOT of water onto the floor during that hot streak we had back in September. We had the coils cleaned and it stopped the problem perfectly. Be proactive before it runs down on the TV.

Great looking bench! If you add one more runner above the top drawer you can control how much it tilts down when you pull it out. If you want some tilt just place the runner a little high.
