HOW TO BUILD A DIY SIMPLE WORKBENCH

[@douggoff5784]

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

[@davidarmenta4812]

thank you so much im so glad these did the trick for you! its definitely a mash of a few designs to get this one to work but I absolutely love it and hope you do too!!

[@hosocat1410]

Good job, functional, and thrifty. For 99% of people this is the kind of workbench they need. Not a european, master craftsman piece of fine furniture.

[@davidarmenta4812]

exactly something sturdy to get those projects off the floor! thank you for the comment!

[@gailtaylor1636]

When I see guys sanding and filling screw holes with putty my eye starts twitching...

[@deanmiller294]

More power to you for taking the time to show others how to build an inexpensive bench. We all would have done something different in the build. Take pride in knowing you just made what many couldn’t make or would spend 200 for.

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thank you very much I appreciate the positivity! I’m very happy with my outcome and serves my purpose and the purpose of entertainment and learning for the viewers! 😁

[@hectorzavala5291]

Great job David, you inspired me to build my own bench. Don't pay attention to all the Haters out there, its a perfect workbench for the garage.

[@davidarmenta4812]

Woo! That was my goal is to get people out there and working with their hands! I hope it came out great! Thanks for the kind words!

[@Jkcreswell]

Awesome build. One recommendation is to leave an overhang so it's easier to clamp to your work surface :)

[@davidarmenta4812]

Where were you when i posed this haha that's my one regret with the build but I just end up having to use big clamps to use the skirt of the top but thank you! good idea!

[@keithhopkins5937]

Very nice,simple yet sturdy .

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thank you!!

[@JR-gd7pg]

Good onya lads. Great bench. Solid and I bet it’s working a treat. Well done 🙌

[@mariorenaud1]

Great workbench. I will use this build as a starting point and will add drawers and extra thick top. Thanks

[@randywright3148]

I would go crazy drilling a pilot hole, driving a screw, drilling a pilot hole, driving a screw. Just drill all of your pilot holes and then drive all your screws.

[@davidarmenta4812]

haha I never noticed I did that!

[@averagejoe4837]

Well, if you don't have enough clamps to keep everything in place(3 clamp is not very many), drilling one pilot then running a screw is a very useful method to keep something in place while you drill the rest of your pilot holes. If it works, don't knock it.

[@keep_digging]

sweet, I am doing something similar and i really like your idea of setting the shelf in a bit for foot and leg room i hadn't thought of that , thank you

[@davidarmenta4812]

Woo! Good luck! I hope it turns out perfect!

[@alexmendoza1740]

Excellent video. Happy you did not add music to the video.

[@gailtaylor1636]

I love the offset shelf. I'll incorporate!

[@craig9069]

I like it! I like it alot!🙌

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thank you very much I appreciate it !!

[@aznvi3tboy209]

You trusted him enough to put your hand there while he's drilling

[@kelleeb7823]

Looks like my 7th grade shop class on a day when the teacher called in sick.

[@davidarmenta4812]

haha when the cool substitute teacher came in and started showing the kids some real stuff haha!

[@agonzalez123able]

Thanks for the time and effort you put into this product I'm making one also

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thank you for taking the time for a positive comment! Im excited for you! good luck, have fun, be safe!

[@kvdgadj]

Can't believe you don't any saw horses.

[@davidarmenta4812]

looking back that would have made life easy lol

[@jeffwolf8018]

You're one of the few people I actually seen that use those finger protectors on the end of your drill to drive to Long screws in so you don't Jam your Palm with the screw tip if you miss. Those things are Lifesavers and no one uses them

[@davidarmenta4812]

Haha I guess your right lol I appreciate that! I love it!

[@BigBoyNowYT]

Thanks great inspiration

[@davidarmenta4812]

Hustle and motivate my friend!

[@Cragun.]

Maybe I missed this, but why are two legs 2x4s and the other two 4x4? Nice video by the way ... so many workbench videos require tools I don't have, like miter saws and planers, etc. Thanks!

[@davidarmenta4812]

I chose to use a thicker wood for the legs for more stability and to avoid using 2x4 and jointing them together! thank you man this video is for the weekend warriors!

[@peem1244]

Hi guys, hope you are well. Great build but........where's the coffee machine? Beer fridge?

[@davidarmenta4812]

hahah ! I actually don't drink and I def. don't drink coffee! I gave up caffeine 6 years ago!

[@CraigNAnderson]

To bad you didn't have a tall work bench to build your workbench!

[@davidarmenta4812]

hahah that would have made that a lot easier of a build lol

[@mikemahler4384]

Thanks for the video, I will be making that same table.

[@marciobicudo4021]

Excelente

[@TellersandTales]

Bro you don't know how much this video helped me out. What was the cost of the wood?

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thats what i like to hear and the frame stuff was only like 20$ the top was what was expensive i think 35$ a sheet

[@blackhorse2947]

Ich bin begeistert, jawohl

[@jg1007]

Mitre saw. Level. Much easier build. But awesome video nonetheless!

[@davidarmenta4812]

haha Right! and thank you so much!

[@ploglet]

What length are the 4x4 and 2x4's?

[@davidarmenta4812]

I believe they were 8foot

[@Rasheedamcclintock77]

Oh....first it was "our" garage, now it's just yours,ok.

[@davidarmenta4812]

hahah I know who pays the bills around here XD

[@RobCardIV]

ToolMan ! Click.

[@davidarmenta4812]

Yessssss lol real recognize real!

[@pep729]

how long are the 2x4s and 4x4s before you cut them? 10ft?

[@davidarmenta4812]

ahhh they might be 8 foot im not sure whatever the big box stores have lol

[@ivan7453]

Honestly, you trust a crapple phone for true level?

[@davidarmenta4812]

I fell like you should be more scared to use the harbor freight tools XD

[@clam741]

Why u pre drilling ? Also get an impact driver lol

[@davidarmenta4812]

I got one recently and now I wonder how I lived with out it!

[@waderue]

really you going use phone as level , wow you a real level they are cheap , go get one

[@davidarmenta4812]

levels are real cheap an iPhones are real expensive and i already have one of those.

[@Tinker1950]

Are you semi-literate?

[@lewis200802]

My brain hurts reading this comment... and I think it was meant as a joke. He’s got a level hanging on the wall in the video lol.

Really? I don't think somehow the guy speaks French.

[@ramaporiver803]

You have wave a gun to get anyone to cut wood at my lowes or Home Depot

[@davidarmenta4812]

LOL it was a little hard to find someone for mine as well

[@jgrudenicstrumpet4369]

Didn’t need to see you go shopping, just my opinion, a list would have sufficed.

[@davidarmenta4812]

Haha looking back I agree! But it was a good excuse to get the camera out in public and remember the memories of building this bench start to finish! But a list should be added for sure haha

[@jgrudenicstrumpet4369]

All good , was a good video and thanks for the reply.

[@axceler8t]

finally a tutorial of someone building a workbench without having a workbench prior. Thank you. Subscribed.

[@williamlaird2136]

I watched the complete video. I like your idea moving the bottom shelf away from where you are likely to whack your shins. I believe that it takes a real strong person to put their work on KZbin. All the wanna be experts that wouldn't know a shelf from a cargo container are simply whining because they don't have the skill or cajones to put some of their projects on KZbin. We all start out somewhere. Some never make it. Some become recognized experts. Most do it just because we enjoy the satisfaction of making something with our own hands and skill. If you build it and it makes you happy, all the others can kiss your butt. KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidarmenta4812]

Thank you so much I love the positively! Have a great day!

[@stephenelkins2445]

Thank you David for the excellent video. Wife and I used your plans, and added a few extra supports as our table was much longer, (12 feet). Very easy to follow. I can't imagine how you have 100 thumbs down, but snowflakes are not very good with tools. Thank you again. Steve and Michelle in Florida.

[@davidarmenta4812]

haha that's so awesome! im glad you guys found this helpful and enjoyed your time together!! thank you so much!

[@johnholly4245]

So your link for the measurements and cuts take me to a DIY workbench that looks different than yours. Is this the same one minus the stain, finish and wheels?

[@davidarmenta4812]

Basically I did reduce the size of the bottom shelf so my legs wouldn’t hit it but it’s all from that link! Good luck! 👍🏼

[@hfranke07]

Great build. Nice and easy. There are some places where I would pay a little more attentions to detail and quality,- but hi, its a workbench. AND at 10:34 you can see why I always have my saftyglasses on in the workshop..... thanks for sharing.

[@davidarmenta4812]

I agree! Safety first for sure! And thank you for watching!

[@franciscolyon820]

Great job, very well done

Thank you so much!

[@kevinallen4069]

LOST ME AT 10:46, but I wish you all the best. God Bless You & Yours!!!

[@Thoridin58]

Lost me when he pulled out the circular saw. My non-existent carpentry skills won't even let me cut a straight line with a circular saw (Hell, any kind of saw). Still, I keep trying. Put a deck on my house 10 years ago and I bet there isn't a right angle in the entire thing. It serves it's purpose though.
