DIY Garage Shop Workbench | How to Build

[@ausfrog381]

Every video I watch I take something out of it, the small details and how to make things easier.

[@jaycantrell9238]

You're creeping up my "KZbin Woodworker" charts. Great videos sir! Thanks for all the knowledge.

[@aliciasoledad1382]

If you haven’t already, can you please make a video on how to do a vanity mirror with the lights? Thanks!

[@jessewatts1377]

Can’t wait to build this. You inspire me so much.

[@alexwhite8359]

Great video! I plan on making this soon for my garage. Where does the hutch attach to the base? You mentioned hidden screws I think. Thanks.

[@senterpoint]

That seems more like a work station than a work bench. What's in a name when you can build like that!

[@mowgod7142]

Just wanted to say thank you, I have just started building with wood and I have learned a lot watching your video's, I just built my first of 2 file cabinets

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome! Glad to help

[@owenjennings8575]

Nice video - How did you attach the Hutch to the desk?

[@skyline2601]

I just discovered your channel and for some reason, I'm in love with woodworking. I don't know where to start though.

[@clydedecker765]

Love the clean look - but you're an exception .. your shop is so neat and clean and organized!!! Mine requires making a new map at the end of the night to be able to navigate in the morning. Luckily my coffee pot is in the house ...

[@Coda02]

Even tho I will not be able to make such things, these are really nice video's to watch anyway, Thanks!

[@descargasdenia3161]

Muy bonito te ha quedado, saludos desde España 🇪🇸

[@89thell]

Awesome build! If I was to make the cabinets a little wider and the table top longer (just shy of 6') and wider (about 30") do you think it will still be stable ?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Spray or dip those leveling feet with some Plasti-dip...even less slip. Great looking workbench! I don't love pegboard, but you have it looking really nice.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

good idea, Bruce!

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Love the low profile of this! So many storage options and having pegboard is great for those tools you need access to all the time.

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video and process. Thanks for sharing. Very neat, precise, and safe. Keep up the good work.

[@gurindersingh7002]

The build is amazing but I was checking the material list for this build and the cost is $933 CAD. For a beginner woodworker like me, things have gotten harder. I guess have to make do with some 2x4 pine racks....!

[@befmx31]

Brad, great build as usual. How do you like your ISOTunes? Any problems? What kind of range do they have? Are they comfortable? How long have you had them? Some of the reviews I have read say that the range is pretty bad. Like, cuts in and out while the phone is in the pocket. Give me your honest opinion. By the way, I can't get the ISO link to work. Does it from Stumpy's video too. All other links work fine.

[@drumavenger83]

This set up is great! I'd like this with bookshelves added up top on each side of the peg board. It'd be the perfect little maker work desk.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

that would be cool!

[@MelnicMechanicalGarage.]

Brad, Thank you. I’ve learned a lot from watching your work. Any plans working with metal?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yes, I've done a little snd want to do more

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@Ack5100]

This might seem like a strange question but where do you buy your plywood? I live in middle TN as well and wonder where you found plywood with so many plys. Thanks.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Nashville Plywood is my go to

[@calebreasons]

Job well done! Ive purchased the other plans for the shop cabinets and will buy these as well! Just waiting for the snow to melt to build the garden shed and get the lawn tools out of the garage! Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks for the support!

[@andrel3]

Where do you get your baltic birch plywood, is it something you can get at Home Depot or Lowes? Thanks for the great video!

[@keithswoodshop1193]

Love it, I will be making this, just finished my FTBT drill press stand. Thanks.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome!

[@ГлебНехорошев-ц7ы]

Ящики - идеальное решение для хранения. Фанера - идеальный материал для этого. Всех благ. Всем добра.

[@maxvolovich9407]

I like that layout. I am somewhat making a couple with a bit of changes to your plan. For when working on cars and or other projects. Radio installation and sub boxes my auto diagnostic tools and metal working.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

that sounds perfect!

[@rookiewoodshop]

Nice job. Looks like there could be room down the insides of the hutch to put some cubbies if one wanted to. 😎

[@diydad6723]

Another great build brad

[@jaybenson6589]

Brad, great channel I've recently reviewed many of your videos. In this one and in the dresser video you mention using an 1/8" spacer between the drawer false fronts. What do you use as that spacer, cutting one seems too prone to error and uneven cuts?

[@googolnews2781]

*Tell me what is the total cost of it?*

[@Excepti0nal777]

Looks great Brad!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks Mike!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice build as always. Pegboard storage is very underrated.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Totally agree

[@Telectronics]

Love it thanks for the video !

[@MrFFP123]

Just started the build!l Love the design and will be following this up with the modular cabinets to complete my garage shop! Thanks Brad!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome! Enjoy the storage! 💪 💪

[@elizabethrowland-blyth9808]

What was the cost of the build for you?

[@MrFFP123]

Well worth the time to build but it was 3 years ago and I don't remember hiw much it cost. I still use it daily

[@bigdogg7500]

Have you had any issues with the screws splitting the hardwood trim on the workbench top?

[@DannyFourSquare]

A shop desk would be really useful!

[@reforzar]

Like all your shop organization; I want one.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Get on with it!

[@BeachBoi1000]

Yes I saw this beautiful workbench in IG

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks

[@ektopia]

Thanks for this one. Inspired by the drawer design. I have 11 to make and I think I’ll go with this style.

[@m.rezapahlevi3057]

Thank you

[@RmitSharma]

Amazing video!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for sharing that, well done

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

THANKS!

[@valborchardt3596]

Thank you very much Brad, fantastic work bench, and as always take care from South Africa

[@JToona]

Could this be done with 3/4” MDF? I’m still newish at woodworking and would rather not screw up $50 sheets of hardwood plywood.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I would not recommend MDF, It doesn't have the same holding power

[@StudioJLT]

Nailed it! Well made.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, brother!

[@avrahamlevy3619]

Awesome job !

[@kevinclark8311]

Nicely done! Cheers

[@r.m.2301]

Nice Job.

[@philshock3805]

Brad, you never seem to use much, if any glue with your pocket hole joints - even drawers. If that's correct, has this ever been an issue? I've always used glue but it makes assembly a bit of a pain - I'd love to forego the glue if it doesn't cause issues. Another great build, BTW.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I rarely if ever used glue with pocket holes and have never had an issue

[@nanieit838]

Another very nice project👌

[@lug2990]

Do you know how much you spend on this project? My husband has a lot of tools but not kreb jig. I don't know if it better to buy a desk already made or build one?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I give the material list in the blog post so you can price it out. Building gives a much better piece for the price

[@HCCTHETECH]

Helo, we got this plans we just have a dummy question, the plywood you used is a true 3/4” or is 23/32? reason we ask is because we can’t find a true 3/4” ply. On your plans you specify that you used 3/4” just don’t want to start cutting than nothing fit, one last did you use maple ply? Thank you keep up the good content....

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

3/4 ply is usually 23/32 or 19mm. Kinda like how a 2x4 is really 1.5x3.5. Confusing when you first start 😀

[@HCCTHETECH]

Fix This Build That thanks...

thanks, Angie!

[@tanner1347]

Finally another video

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I feel the same way!

[@boxmfg]

What an awesome build 👍🏻

[@theeapco]

Sweet build Brad! Thanks for sharing.

[@susanrodriguez2557]

Loved this one, babe!

[@mariusdamocles9313]

very nice

[@sv2234sv]

Cool workbench! Good job!

[@avrahamlevy3619]

It will be a great desk if you modify it a little . Great Job

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Avraham!

[@leifprice8836]

Looking forward to building myself one. This video has taught me a lot.

[@estebanruiz80]

Great project Brad! I bought the plans and will be modifying it a bit for my garage, so I used your plans as a template for my sketch up plans . Would you ever consider selling the sketch up plans for people who want to customize them ? Second have you thought about doing some sketch up tutorials? Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I don't offer the sketchup just because there is so much inherent customer service needed with it. People buy it and don't even know how to use it or their version is older than the one you made it with so they can't open it, etc. etc. I keep it simple with PDF. I don't plan on doing Sketchup tutorials because I always refer people to Jay Bates or the Sketchup KZbin page. Thanks for your support!!!!

[@hazembata]

I dig it.

[@sgrisez]

That's an awesome bench, too nice to put in my garage! QUESTIONS: 1. would it be feasible to use a metal peg board? I have had a few MDF peg boards and they always seem to wear out after just a couple of years. This bench is too nice to ruin the hutch replacing the board. 2. Assembly table - This is more of a suggestion, I guess.. I don't have room for an assembly table in my shop so my workbench and or table saw have become my assembly tables. My solution was to make a tabletop out of 3/4" MDF, about 3' x 6' that I can put on top of the table saw and clamp it in place. Maybe you could do something like that for your current assembly table.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, metal pegboard would work too. And I do plan on making a new assembly table

[@ALJessica]

Dp you have a link for that huge pegboard? I can only find small pegboards

[@ZacJones]

Awesome build! I really like the work stations your putting in your shop, keep it up!

[@simmuborgir3337]

Another awesome work. Keep up. You’ve got a nice and clean shop

[@fjd_rustico3754]

Why do everything you do make me want to do it myself? excellent work (I admire you)😁🙌

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You can make them too!

[@rodrigosmirelli311]

Beautiful work my friend .hugs

[@cstephens00]

Another great build, Brad! I noticed you pre-drilling for the drawer slides at 2:21. When pre-drilling these, do you have any trouble with the dust/shavings getting gummed up in the slide grease? This was an issue I encountered when building your drill press stand.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, I typically just blow it off or pick it out if it's really stuck in there

[@philshock3805]

I've had the same issue in the past. On the last cabinet build I did, I used a short length of blue tape under the hole before drilling to catch the dust. Takes slightly longer but works great.

[@cstephens00]

Thanks, guys. The blue tape is a great idea, don't know why I didn't think of that!

[@19woodworks]

I like it!! I may semi copy this....just adapt it to the set of tool I have 😊

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Glad you like it!

[@FB_Woodshop]

I know you have an office but I bet you will find yourself using that as a shop desk a lot. That is of course when its clean, which if your like me will only be twice a year!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

gotta keep it clean!

[@kenbryan8387]

Help! I love the plans but totally confused about drawer slides. Never installed them before. Do you have a step by step for them? I bought the ones you have listed. Thank you for any help.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Watch my other cabinet videos with drawers. Tons of tips in there and should help

[@kenbryan8387]

@@Fixthisbuildthat thank you will try that. Purchased several plans. Once I figure out one the rest should be a breeze. Do you have a link to one which may be of the most help? Worried about matching drawer to cabinet slide. Your help greatly appreciated. Stay well.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Honestly I don't. They all blur in my mind. Probably the drill press cabinet or table saw cabinet though. Lots of drawers

[@Astrojose9]

This is awesome, thank you .)

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Glad you like it!

[@western_highs]

I know wood costs vary geographically but it would be cool to know the relative cost of the projects!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

All the blog posts on FixThisBuildThat.com have associated materials list so you can price it out in your area 👍

[@christofix]

Brad, your videos are always awsome! This project is again realy great. it is fun to watch and many people will learn something from this video. I love the result!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@JD-be7ys]

Brad, Our shops are our own respective domains. If you want to call them, "me-nails," the rock on with your "Brad"-self! Sorry, I couldn't resist matching pun for pun. Great build. I am doing something similar in my own garage. It will be the nerve center of my shop, for ideation and sketching.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

😂😂😂 Thanks man

[@brendonziegenbein5226]

Brad, Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites! Love all of your garage cabinet builds. Quick question, where do you get your plywood? Im noticing the number of plys and it looks like really nice stuff. I just picked up 4 sheets of birch plywood (not baltic) and it ran $78 a sheet. It too has 8 plys with the veneer but only one side was "paint grade" I was shocked to hear you say $48/sheet. ( I try not to buy plywood at the box stores. Thanks!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, mine is baltic birch but 5x5 for that price

[@keithf5236]

@@Fixthisbuildthat was wondering the same, that explains the price :)

[@binuahmed1292]

wow! amazing

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@miro2328]

Good jobs

[@tinlidtoo6615]

Where do I find that birch plywood. I've toured the home depot and lowes and the plywood they have is so rough and warped.

[@MichaelHernandez138]

Where did you get that rolling stool from and do you recommend it? Looks shorter than the bar stool I've been using, looking for a new one for my shop. Thanks

[@danielrobertson5732]

Following...I had the dame question

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

This guy from Woodcraft amzn.to/2Ekw6Rt . But I couldn't find it on their site and Amazon says out of stock. Might be discontinued

[@clydedecker765]

That's some FINE looking plywood. I have NEVER seen anything half that good in any of my travels. Its just not available where I go.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

13 ply baltic birch is awesome

[@RaamakrishnanNS]

Hello. I have few teak wood cupboards which are. Like 10feet tall. Some of them are damaged. And it's very difficult to use the complete 10feet. Do you have any suggestions. Could you give some ideas on converting them. ? Would be great if you could give your contact details.

[@Michegrey]

I love your videos! You're always proficient and make different thing! Great channel👍

[@clydedecker765]

One thing -- I used carriage bolts like that for a lot of my stuff (not wall cabinets) .. Unfortunately I was always moving them and the carriage bolt is kind of hard to readjust on the floor fully loaded. (They seem to turn easily on the floor while moving them but hard to get a wrench on. If you lift the box, then they are easy but ...while fully loaded with the level on top?) I switched to regular bolts and a wrench could easily adjust them while flat on the floor no matter the load.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

good tip

[@chicagohandyman]

Where do you get your plywood from and how much is a sheet?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

From a local distributor and it's about $2 a square foot. So $64 for 4x8

[@X3WorkshopDesigns]

Great build brad. Where did you get that shop stool? I’ve been looking for a decent one with wheels like that.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

It's this one amzn.to/2Ekw6Rt but doesn't seem to be on Woodcraft's site anymore

[@frankrizzo442]

Fix This Build That thank you brad.

[@Kronash]

Could this be built without all the tools you use? Or maybe a simpler version?

[@elizabethrowland-blyth9808]

What’s the cost of this build? Just curious how much cheaper its is than buying. In AUD or USD please 😅

[@markgaborik4600]

What plywood do you use in your builds and where are you getting it from, the local HD? Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

baltic birch from a local distributor

[@fixitwithzim]

Nice, I like it!

[@woodworking2475]

Can u pls tell me the name of this plywood I mean which material is that

[@homie817x]

very nice build, how many tooth is your miter saw blade?

[@MikeTheMaker1]

homie817 depends on size and your cut. Rough cuts use less teeth (teeth per inch tpi) more tpi is for fine cuts.

[@大工のオダケン]

great✨✨

[@702Saf]

Great video, can this be done as well with Mdf or Melamine board?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yes it could
