I would love to have something like this for my art studio since I paint on flat surfaces. But how would you attach the top so that there are no screw heads poking through.

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble kzread.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

Great book for a beginner . kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

This is NOT a book for a beginner! DON'T FALL FOR Ted’s 16,000 Woodworking Plans SCAM! What do you get if you do buy it? The content package is far smaller than advertised and consists of outdated plans ripped off of public and private sources. There’s no customer service, and it can be hard to get your money back. Additionally, the projects and plans aren’t vetted, with reviews complaining about poor quality. There are KZread reviews peddling these plans, often with FAKE USER ACCOUNTS or bots contributing comment reviews and fake testimonials to further encourage buyers. I got SCAMMED by this. Please learn from my mistake!

I think I’ve found the work bench I want to build! Now, what are these ‘feet and inches’ you speak of??? 😁🦘🇦🇺

something about 300 and 25 mm but to make it work in somewhere not-USA you maybe should try to find similar sized parts in more typical sizes... 2" x 4" would be something like 51 x 102 mm but here in Germany it's easier to get 40/60 x 80 or 60 x 100 mm 🤷 so I sometimes think about making a table of typical metric lumber with similar strengths then those imperial sizes 🤔 but maybe there is one and I just haven't found it yet 🤷

As a US citizen, it's difficult to argue that the metric system is definitely superior. The problem is noone around here thinks in metric, so you have to know both. I would petition for a shift to logical measuring standards, for sure!

I'll be honest..I'm a old school guy..been wood working for 35 years now..I clicked on this to laugh at it..but I am humbled,,..this youngster is a natural at shop work..so..in conclusion I gotta say,,I learned something new and improved also damn cool..I'm a stubborn old prick who was impressed with your work..well done mate..I am gonna build 4 of these tables...I'm also now subscribed to your channel...I absolutely hate to admit it..lol..but,,yeah,,pretty damn cool...👌..btw..I agree peg board is garbage in my opinion...I hang my tools on French cleats....

These benches would be awesome for modular model railroad layouts! Awesome design!

You're my hero! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for as I'm about to move into my first proper small unit and need worktops for prepping and packing products exactly as you've done in your final setup.

Wonderful!! Wonderful!! Wonderful!! It's nice to see you back in the workshop! Loved the little one's cameo!! Great to see the "technical difficulties" again!! Great job Ben!! !! !! !! !! 👍👍⭐⭐👏👏👏👏

This is what I have been looking for, and I didn't even know it. I will make some slight modifications, but this basic design is nearly perfect. Thanks!

This was an idea I was fooling around with for a modular table saw table to fit under my existing workbench. Thanks for thinking and demonstrating much more in depth than I thought previously.

Simple, not too terribly expensive, and modular. Very nice.

Brilliant!!! I'm making them

Thank you!! I needed a mobile, flexible workbench for my 2 car Garage while I demo the old massive one built into one wall. This is so perfect, I hadn't even thought about a modulear design, going to make 3 of these and finally turn my wall into French cleat storage!! Bravo! Earned a sub!

Fantastic idea! Thanks.

This video is pure gold!! Thank you!

This is such a great system. I was thinking of making similar carts for my miter saw and jobsite table saw so that I could slot either into a space depending on which I was using, but I had not considered making the entire work surface modular. What an awesome idea, and all of the storage solutions you demoed were really great use of space.

wow..LOVE this. SO versatile! GREAT video, thank you!

I'm glad this video came across my tube. I now have another option for utilizing my workspace more efficiently. Thanks!!!

Fantastic!!!!!!

Genius, I love it

I have two workbenches in my very small shop (a converted 8'x16' carport) very similar to yours. They're identical and both on casters. Originally they we were open but I've since added a drawer unit and shelf to one, and a pullout shelf/tray to the other. I enclose both and added doors to keep dust out. They're the workhorses of my shop. I've also used them as trolly carts for lumber deliveries, and platforms for standing on to reach overhead storage items. As you so perfectly illustrate, the versatility of these kinds of workbenches is endless, and so useful. Thanks for the great video.

I'm inspired thank you.

I like the idea of this so much. I think I now have a direction to go for my workspace in the coming year! I currently have a few various sizes and shapes of workbenches, but it seems like it'd be really nice to streamline them. Make one shorter and mount my little contractor table saw on it so the top is flush with the normal height. Others can be ganged together as outfeed tables. Set up one with my shop vac and dust separator on the bottom shelf. Heck, maybe even a miter saw one with the saw set lower. Then I could gang together two or three as needed for long miter cut pieces! Moving things around that often, I might have to look into a quicker-to-use method of joining them. Bolting would be great when they're going to be joined for awhile, but moving them around a bunch, it might get cumbersome. Thanks for sharing this! Elegance in simplicity!

Built my first one today, from old scrap laying around and HF casters! Thanks!

Simple and wonderful!

Understated elegance. Just completed my first 3X6 mobile workbench. I wish I had seen this first. Thanks.

seriously love this and I've been researching making my first work bench and hands down this is the one I like the most!

Nice job on these modular work benches. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this build. It was Easy to build, and the size is very convenient. Made with leftover plywood and store bought 2x4's. I'm using mine as an "oil change station", and gave away two others to neighbors

This solution is so simple it's genius! Mind officially blown!

Just what I needed! Thanks!

And I forgot to say "Thanks" for the great design. This was my first project in trying to set up a small shop in the basement. AWESOME video instruction Even got my stepson off the video game as he was curious... Had him do ALL the assembly after I had all the pieces cut! Fun how bonding woodworking can be! Thanks again

Ingenious, and within all wood-workers' capabilities, Ben. Seasons Greetings to you and yours.

Ben, I was so impressed with your modular work benches I bought the plans. Your plans were easy to follow and the project turned out great. Thank you, Alex😀

Phenomenal! Excellent presentation and functionality! Thanks

love the french cleat organizer idea! Infinite options for storage bins, because you built all the bins for custom fit!

I really like the hole solution for connecting the benches. I've liked this style of modularity for a while(2x4 technology from Codename: Kids Next Door). Eye level racks could be added on the back using the holes for storage, tools or whatever.

I just finished this building this workbench. I made the legs 28" long to accommodate my height and also so it will nest under my planned stationary workbench. I love it! Thank you for sharing your design.

Very well done. Thanks!

Love this! Thank you for sharing. I will be building one of these soon! I plan to use exterior construction screws for mine rather than drywall screws since it will be used in my garage where it could be exposed to outdoor conditions. Great idea about connecting tables!!

Very clever Ben! Love all the extra functions.

This looks great 👍

What a nice and well thought out build! 👏

Boy that hits a sweet spot. No more than it needs to be but more than enough to serve the purpose. Nice.

Ben, I made three carts and having a blast, I really love this, thank you sooooo much….

I came for the ultimate french cleat system, i kept digging for more videos once i saw the corgi, i subscribed when you threw a ball at yourself. I appreciate the artistry.

All of my tools are stored in 4'x2' benches I cobbled together from pallet wood. I have been playing with the idea of making carts that matched. Glad I watched this first.

Enjoy all your videos but this one stands out for me. Very useful design. Thank you.

I built very similar modular work benches. Instead of holes and bolts to attach them I used adjustable latch clamps. If you are going to be moving them around a lot this is very convenient. I like the bottom tray concept you used as mine only have a center shelf.

What a great module design!

Awesome…the genius is in its simplicity and versatility. I’m definitely doing this. Thanks man!

WOW! Just bought your Modular Workbench Plans. What a great idea for a universal, re-configurable work bench system! Your plan is well executed and easy to understand. I needed a work bench and was struggling to find a plan that was easy to build and would serve multiple purposes. Your plan hit all the marks for me. $15 well spent. Thanks.

This is amazing!! I totally need this! Thanks for sharing !

Love love love this idea!

Love the idea, I have the 4x8’ table and there is times you don’t need so much table, or simply some one is working on the other side. Thanks for sharing and this is definitely a good weekend project 🤘😎

Brilliant!

this is perfect

awesome just what i needed. Im making a workdesk/clothes storage desk and this fits the bill exactly

simple and very versatile great job.

Excellent idea 💡 👏 I love how you can add on and arrange as needed. Definitely going to build a few in my new shop!

Great idea guys, huge respect

simple and genius!

Great video, thanks!

That's super.

LOVE IT!!!!👍👍👍👍

Excellent video and build. Simplicity is the key....2x4's & 3/4 plywood. Doesn't much simpler than that. Sturdy and highly adaptable for many situations. Can still add drawers or whatever meets your needs. One of the best all around workbench ideas around. And, it looks good!

Great idea! Just what I think I'll have to do.

Thanks for posting! I love modular strategies whether for workbenches, shelving or guitars. Simple is great. Locking casters are great! Consider a modular portable system if you haven't already.

Thanks! This is great. Just built a 20x10 shed in my backyard this is going to be a great addition.

Cool! Nice work!!

Ben these are great mod tables and beyond easy to build. Appreciate greatly the thorough visual instructions, they're super helpful and well done to boot. I actually first just followed your video and it was all I needed to make these tables. I started w two tables and finished them up in about two hours, and I'm in the middle of doing some personal customizations to the tables to make them more user-friendly for specific things i'm using on those tables (table and chop saw stuff, belt sander, etc) When I finished them I was beyond pleased w the results, and am building a couple for my daughter's sewing/quilting room projects and she loves the versatility. Your skill and ability to convey what's needed and how then to use it all is WELL worth the $15 for the plans and anyone who builds one of these by following your instructions should send you $15. if they don't, "may the fleas of a thousand camels invade their pubic areas!" And one final word of encouragement and appreciation my young entrepreneur friend, I would have paid $20, so don't ever underestimate your worth again moving forward, Ben. You bring a LOT to the table, no pun intended, and you should be compensated appropriately for that expertise. My $15 was well spent, thank you.

Cool project and design. Love all the videos

i love it when your corgi came in and brought you a ball to play - obviously knew you were working hard! I like this idea - i always seem to need a new surface so modular works nicely. I'll probably try this for my 2nd project after i build a home for my table saw.

LOVE this! We are building a new 36x36 garage shop that these modular work benches will be super usable and adaptable! My husband is a fly fisherman and needs a fly tying bench and I’m a gardener so I need a place to pot my plants!

thank you! i bough the stuff today will build 2 this week i love that i can move them if i need to!

Well done! I just built three of these for my garage at our house in town. Used left over treated 2x4s from an old deck for a pool I had to take down. Little bit twisted, and took a few more minutes to square up compared to new wood. Now to build out some shelves in them and bolt two together for an “L” shaped bench and one for a work table. I did use 5/8” plywood and it’s very strong. Bought your plans and will buy more!

Love your work. Very useful video. I'll make at least one in the near future

looks good

so smart. thank you very much . i will try make a same one.

I really appreciate how you used basically tools. Awesome video I’m planning on making one of these soon. Thanks!

Just so clean and easy. Bought and printed. Heading down to the shop to take inventory, then off to the big box stores. o7

I'm going to build these soon. Great work

Omg!!!!! I am completely blown away with these modular workbenches!! I just saw the plans on Etsy and saw that you are on KZread. I love all the options these give you. I am opening a small bakery. Sometimes I need lots of bench space, sometimes I need less. When I’m not baking, I can use 1 or 2 to display my packaged goodies. I also make and sell soap. I could make another set for my soap set up. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will definitely purchase the plans and refer to this video for extra help. Thank you!!! Much Love, Angela-Foxy Farm Coffee and Bakery!! Opening Fall 2023 🎉❤ 🦊

This inspired me enough to make one of these today. For the top I used some plywood i'd already cut to be the top of a router table, so now I have a router table and not just a router plywood I'd clamp off the side of my table. I really like that it's just 2x4's that are all 45" long or less - I found I had so much scrap just the right size, and probably enough for another one. I carefully made it match the height of the workbench I inherited from the previous owner of my house, so now I can easily extend it on any side. I think I'm gonna make some shorter 2' by 2' ones next for my miter and table saws so with the saws installed they'll all match in height.

Outstanding design, simple efficient, flexible, versatile and extremely usable! Well done and thank you for sharing. I will be building 2 like this!

Looks like a fantastically useful design, and best of all it doesn't take a ton of fancy tools or equipment to make and put together.

Just found your channel and might i say, I really enjoy your approach to realistic, practical, and efficient design mixed with good video and editing skills. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

GREAT JOB DUDE!! VERY ENTERTAINING EASY TO WATCH.

Thats so cool! not unlike a workbench I made of a similar size that holds my PC and 3D printer on top. One thing I would suggest for that configuration is strips of plywood bolted to the back edge of the area where the tape and supplies are so they cant roll backwards off the workbench. I love the modular nature of this design!
