Building the ultimate workbench

[@LavalleeLures]

Unbelievable. I wish I had seen this a few years ago when I was building a bench. People are going to love it.

What an interesting bench. I can definitely see how the structure can handle the lateral forces.

[@DW_woodworks]

@@rawr2u190 thanks for watching man, it seems to handle everything really well, I haven't had any major issues with it.

Nice work on the design. Looks sturdy enough. Is there any bounce if you're chiselling with mallet? Plenty of scope for customising with extra shelves & brackets. Seriously should sell the plans or at least copyright/patent the design. This could be as popular as the workmate. The designer is now millionaire!

[@DW_woodworks]

@@JohnColgan. Thanks man, I appreciate your time, there is no bounce, I showed a little chisel work in my last video. Unfortunately I don't get enough views etc. To sell anything, So I think I'll have to keep on working 😂 As long as it helps a small handful of people, it's all good 😊

Great video! Where do you source wood from usually? I'm in the north east also and don't have a van so mostly been getting deliveries from B&Q and the like, but wondered how you go about sourcing stuff yourself

[@DW_woodworks]

@@lukeE632 thanks man, I get my ply from vikingplywood.co.uk Adrian is bang on, he'll breakup your ply so it'll go into the back of a car, and he'll look after you if you're a returning costumer. He's a lot cheeper than b&q.

I have been considering a knock down bench for my new workshed/shop. This design is even simpler than the one I have been thinking of. I have a few sheets of reclaimed MDF, so my give it a try. Is there any reason that the apron is not fitted onto the base with french cleats, they could probably hold the thing inplace, with the top pressing onto it, so no plug/sticks needed?

[@DW_woodworks]

@@alanthompson2063 pegs are needed for the apron, otherwise the apron would lift the top under use. I wouldn't recommend mdf for this build, it's a lot weeker than plywood, especially with cut outs, it also damages easily. Thanks for watching 👍
