I just built this bench. I used only a circular saw, square, drill, pocket knife, (cleaning out the laps) and a #4 style hand plane (leveling the top). I did it on the floor of my garage. It cost just over $100. (I bought a gallon of glue as I had none) It came out really nice and the project is totally do-able in a weekend by a novice. You don't need $4000 in tools. You just can't be lazy. The hand plane was a workout. One note: You can save on time, and increase accuracy if you clamp the legs together in sets when making the lap joint cuts with a circular saw. Way better than anything I could buy at that price. Thanks Modern Builds!

For future reference: If you go to a regular lumber yard, instead of big box stores, you can buy a better grade 2" x 4" for pennies difference in cost, AND, they will run them through their plane for free. They have actual "board sizers", that plane all 4 sides at once. you can tell them, "I want the finish 5/4" thick, x 3-1/4" wide, and they dial it in. Then you can glue the entire table all at once.

Bet it's a great bench! I'm also in the process of making a workbench, but only have hand tools: saws, chisels, mallet, hand drill and a jack plane. I live in an apartment above my landlord, who is a lovely old lady, so I want to make sure I'm quiet. I'm in no rush tho, so it's all good. I do things one little step at a time. Since I don't have perfectly flat floors and the 2x4s I could find were all very slightly warped (don't have a car, so I have to walk back and forth to the hardware store), I quickly built a guide using the narrow side of the 2x4s as a straight-ish line. That guide will be used to laminate the tabletop as straight as I can. Then the next step will be to use the jack plane to flatten the tabletop. I expect this to take a long time and a lot of effort, because I'll probably have to remove close to 1/4" off the tabletop. Fortunately, the bench I'm making is apartment-sized, and will measure 30"x46", so I think my jack plane will be appropriate for the surface. Can't wait to have it completed. Enjoy your workshop!

Hey, Mike. This is a great video (and the Sketchup video to go along with it). I'm a technical trainer and you have a natural knack for working with adult learners by breaking down a large task into manageable bites, while giving the "whys" of what you are doing. You've introduced traditional joinery in a nonchalant way that isn't intimidating at all. I was thinking it might have been awesome to throw in a mortise and tenon to attach the top, but you were probably right with the restraint there and keeping it accessible. I have only gotten into woodworking in the last few years and still watch a TON of videos to learn. I really enjoy yours and the thoroughness without over explaining everything. Sometimes that is intimidating in itself. Nice work, bub.

For dust collection I have used a small 1.5 gallon Shop Vac. I bought a longer hose, it easily follows you around the shop due to its small size and weight. I use it on my Dewalt table saw and the Dewalt sliding compound miter saw along with sanders. Makes clean up easier, and it was a cheap alternative at the time I was building out my garage.

A beautiful but utilitarian bench. Nice job. If you want an easier and less expensive way to attach the top try this next build. Make cleats about 3/4" x 3/4" or even 1" x 1" and glue and finish nail (optional) those to your long and end stretchers. You can cut those on the tablesaw of course. Then drill slightly oversized holes in those for the attachment screws which could be as short as "standard" 1 5/8" drywall screws. This will allow for movement. I did this on my one sheet of plywood workbench. And a lot of tables I have built. Thanks for the video.

They are pricier but I've been 100% happy with the Fein.

Great work man. Looks to be a very well built and sturdy workbench. Keep up the good work. BUT PLEASE. Turn off your table saw when you've completed your cut. A few times when showing the lap joint relief cuts you flipped the workpiece to show the camera while it was still running. 1:18 - You also did a dry fit to make sure you removed enough material while the saw was still running. 1:50 - For your safety just shut down the saw, show the camera the workpiece/make your dry fit check and if you need to make another pass just spin the saw back up. Nice video otherwise!

TIP: alll wood has a crown. when making the table top you should mark the crown of all the 2x4 and then make them all the same way. it would help with the glue up and expansion/contraction over time

or reverse the crowns every other piece for strength but you have to fasten the boards together really well

I made one with 2x4's and screwed it together but I dont have a planer or counter sink bit so it was uneven and had some gaps, if youre a beginner I think using a flat plywood or mdf sheet and gluing it is easier

It might sound excessive, but I'd definitely let those 2x4's acclimate to your shop for a couple weeks before gluing up the top. I made a top like that last summer and a week after glue-up the top had a good 1" twist in it. Framing lumber is frequently pretty wet. Maybe not as bad in the winter. Nice build.

I sometimes buy blue pine from my local sawmill. I was told its from the sap reacting with water before its kiln dried. the only boards that turn blue are at the top of the stack. Its beautiful when its freshly planed, but if not protected it turns dark gray and looks like mildew.
