Workbench for $100 (kinda)

Rob introduces his assembly bench turned cabinetmaking bench. What started out as an inexpensive easy to build assembly bench has been converted to a very useful cabinetmaking bench. By adding a few Sjoberg vises and a tool tray, this 3" thick MDF top and 2 1/4" thick plywood base is fantastic.

Recently built this bench following the DVD available on your website and with the vice and bench dogs from your shop. It is easy to build, flat and stable, and a real pleasure to use. Thanks Rob

[@martintheron1386]

Which link did you use to watch video

[@stainlesssteellemming3885]

Thanks you. I'd been looking at a ton of "$100 bench" and "your first workbench" videos and this is the first one which acknowledges the startup tools cost. I went through a few of the others and priced up the tools, assuming you really were just starting out (minimal power tools). By the time you bought the jointer, planer, table saw, huge clamps, etc - it was cheaper to buy the top end Sjobergs. Also, my son's "workshop" is about 10' by 6' right now: no way we could put the big power tools anywhere. This one looks doable, with perhaps a 1-day rental from Homedepot of a table saw for accurately and quickly cutting the MDF to size. That's $55 per day for quite a large one. FYI for anyone wondering, the Sjoberg's vise is about $275 at present, and a 4 x 8 x 3/4 MDF sheet is about $30, 1/4 x 4 x 8 plywood is another $30

[@JimCoxon]

I just built one. Material prices have skyrocketed. MDF - $120. 3/4 plywood $85. Lags $42. Glue $38. Screws $11. $296 without the vise. And worth every penny. You could park a car on it. I screwed the top layer on without glue so that if I need to change it in the future, it'll be a piece of cake.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Hi Jim, you’re right, that title did not age well! We use 1” Baltic birch for the top on some benches, three layers and a 3” thick plywood top. In one year the ply went from $129 to $295 a sheet! Crazy!

[@jc51373]

Guy is a damn genius, every video I have watched of his solves some kind of issue i am facing..the MDF top idea solves so many problems formy bench build and for me in my workshop where i don't have all the proper tools to get a laminated hardwood top processed without a jointer and planer.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Glad to be of service!

[@ironmantooltime]

I agree this mdf method is golden and the finish is actually pretty nice.

[@738polarbear]

I never thought of MDF but it makes perfect sense .Its stable flat and economical and heavy .thanks for this idea.

[@twicebittenthasme5545]

Nice to see an actual "work" bench and not some heirloom wannabe! I used old solid-core doors which were discarded from an office remodel, to make mine and I appreciate having a dependable and fully functional/usable work surface. Never liked working off sawhorses or even the floor. Nice job! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

This is a great entry level bench that is really easy to build and should last for a long time.

[@EarnieMercerDungeonstiles]

I do think this is the table I'm gonna go with. Thanks for the tip Rob.👍

[@AverageRetiredGeek]

Totally agree about the tool tray on the back side! I built my woodworking bench (6 ft long x 21" wide) without one and, after dropping tools, etc off the backside for 9 months, got p*** off and added a tool tray. Totally worth it. Not sure I like the idea of MDF for top but can't argue with your experience (my bench has 3 layers of 3/4" plywood which is a bit soft). The Sjoberg vises sound very nice but are very expensive (for this guy anyways).

[@willemkossen]

Very cool. If i hadnt grown allergic to mdf, that would work. The base is a useful strategy, and will work with a wood top. Im building my first bench later this year, so this is another great bit of inspiration. Thank you so much

[@pauljackson5525]

I love the roundover look on the dovetailed tool shelf

[@joshuawood9019]

Man, that is a killer bench to be made out of the materials used. You always impress the crap out of me with your style.

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

Just finished, it came out great, thanks for the info!!

[@robdhorton]

I just pulled the trigger on a new Sjobergs Elite bench today. Couldn't be more happy. If you want to build your own bench, don't forget you need a bench to make a bench! I designed a Scandinavian bench like RC's in 3D CAD years ago but never had a workshop, machinery and a bench to build it it. Maybe one day, 😂.

[@fatdogslow8011]

Im going to use this idea, and adapt it to make a proper bench with a tool well. Im thinking another good idea would be to only spot glue the top piece of MDF so when it gets really beaten up you can easily remove it and replace with another.

[@joesimkus7778]

This is my first time watching. I like the,"new Yankee Workshop" feel that your show has. It is very comforting. There is also the simple way that things are explain in plain English. I really enjoyed the episode and will be joining and subscribing. :)

[@krenwregget7667]

I love the idea of an MDF top; inexpensive, easy to make and if done correctly... deadly flat.

[@GH-sx6tk]

Thats an excellent idea Rob. Thanks for sharing.

[@emacmillen]

Thank you for taking the time to post this. Great idea for a beginning bench for me. I appreciate the wealth of info you post on KZbin for people like me.

[@deezynar]

I like the top. For convenience to new woodworkers I'd suggest making the base out of a box made of OSB screwed together with 2x4s at the corners. A box made of sheet material will never rack.BTW, THANK YOU! for calling it a vice 'jaw' and not a 'chop.'

[@deezynar]

The home center cuts the OSB to size for him. The woodworker puts the pieces together with screws. The front edges of the end panels are flush with the front of the top. There's a 2x4 screwed to each end panel on their inside faces right along the front edge. The 2x4's are screwed to the end panels flat, with their wide faces. The front panel is screwed to the back edges of those two 2x4s. That way, the front panel is set back 3 1/2" from the front of the bench. He'll put shims under each corner to level it on his floor. It's down-and-dirty so a guy doesn't need a table saw, and he can get working on projects right away. He can make a fancier bench using this one. Whatever bench he makes later, it will never have a more rigid base than this one.

[@gpurkeljc]

Nice work Rob. I was thinking of building the ends for a bed frame using a similar method to how you made the legs for the workbench. Now I know it can work. 🙂

[@SarcastSempervirens]

Thank you so much for this, I'm just starting out and the only space I currently have to work on is like 5 square feet of an old cluttered desk. This will be a life saver.

[@CJTIGETMAX24]

Thanks for the video! If I were just getting my shop started I would definitely go with some version of this. Thanks!

[@RGRGJKK]

Pura vida Rob I like that woodworking bench desing

[@peterkelly8953]

I love the simplicity of this design, especially the base, but I built an MDF top 20 years ago from 2 full layers & a partial third layer, edged with 45mm Oregon. It is no longer flat at the vise end by at least 2mm. So time for a rebuild. I will use plywood as per Paul Sellers for the bench top but the top layer will be 19mm Bamboo as it is very hard & looks fantastic. As the Sjobergs vise is not available in Australia, I recommend the HNT Gordon front & tail vises, superb quality.

[@ironmantooltime]

£460 they should be nice 😉 www.workshopheaven.com/hand-tools/clamps/vices.html

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very strong and very stable! Thanks.

[@JonDunnmusician]

[@DaltonPhantom]

Just ordered the materials for this off the parts sheet. Love the videos that come with it, and can't wait to replace the plywood on sawhorses that I've been using! Not sure I can find the giant washers tho. 🤔Thanks!

[@toriankirland383]

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

[@jimsjacob]

That’s great! I am so in need of a bench like this... I’ll have to look for that video content to get this done.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Awesome Jim, it's on our website robcosman.com

[@jimsjacob]

RobCosman.com Yep, found it.

[@goatsears]

Thats a really good looking bench, I think the tenons on the legs are really cool and I had never thought of laminating MDF, so I am stealing some ideas, thanks for a great video, keep up the good work.

[@adamgrant8589]

Great ideas here! When it comes to flattnes of a hand made mdf bench top, what do you all think is a reasonable goal? The last bench i built, I spent a lot of time chasing flatness before I decided I was using the wrong materials for the base and it was moving with temp and humidity fluctuation.

[@Noold]

Awesome video Rob. Always nice to see you can still get a lot done, even on a budget.

[@phooesnax]

Nice design

[@dafickler]

I'm pretty pissed right now. I've been a woodworker for years and have always enjoyed watching great woodworker videos on KZbin to learn new techniques. How is it that I"m just now finding your videos on KZbin?! Great videos, Rob. Appreciate your hard work.

[@alanmudge6782]

Hey Rob, big fan, thanks very much for all of the videos. On the chance you are looking for an idea for another video, I wondered if you might give your thoughts on glue up of a table top like this one for beginners. Specifically regarding how to glue and clamp it flat when your just getting started, I don't have a nice flat bench yet to use as a surface for glue up. Was wondering about making a set of cauls from 2x4s but was unsure. Thanks again for all the great videos

[@christophercrowle9753]

Very good consept, I have been doing some rough calculations. The sort of $100 Canadian I'm assumeing is around £58. For 4 sheets of 18mm (3/4) mdf I'm allready up to £92. Estimate around 2 sheets of 9mm (3/8) ply wood is another £50. Add on an additional £30 for bolts ect. And now for 2 sjobergs vice at £215 each. So I'm now up to £602. Without any additional cost for shipping of vices. So this $100 is either way off or things are RIDICULOUSLY cheap in Canada and USA. Not knocking the bench design at all.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

The $100 is meant for the wood only. And yes I have discovered that MDF is substantially cheaper in Canada. In the U.S. we figure the cost, NOT including the vice or vices should you want two, is between $150 and $200 depending on where you live. In Canada its around $120 (USD). Helps to have lots of trees!!!

[@christophercrowle9753]

Thanks for you reply Rob. I hope you don't get the impression I'm knocking the bench itself, not at all. But for me hear in the UK and anyone eles to buy materials and vices, which yes would be required to price is around the £500-£600. You guys are extremely lucky with the equipment you have as well as the accessiblity to the fantastic hard woods. All of which hear are like unicorn s***. All the best.

[@TheIrishAmish]

Thank you!

Hang on a minute.... At the beginning, when you lean forward onto the bench, it rocks............

[@stuartdocherty8409]

Gotcha: it rocked, it didn't rack... I really like the idea of this bench, but the precursor to any of this woodworking is real estate, nothing happens without a shed... I will at least draw one up, in readiness....

[@daveweber1331]

This has pretty well clinched my mental picture of my first work bench! Thanks! Great, practical videos - keep them coming! BTW, could you toss out the link to the vise manufacturer? that too, looked like the one to get...

[@ironmantooltime]

The vise is a sjoberg from Sweden. They make some high end benches and also make another vise called smart vise.

[@jeremymcclanahan2389]

do you have any prints for your table?

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

08:59 Sure - 100$ *plus* the costs of two vises [Sjöbergs adjustable offered at Amazon for *just* 436,-€ (one of the two vises)].

Fair enough. For my bench, I bought myself one of these.. [tail] koydl.de/show_rob/spindle.png ..and it serves me well.

In Italy, that thick MDF and plywood are so expensive that it would be cheaper buying the small Sjoberg! 😤

I like the top a lot! Could it be dressed with a hardwood edges to perhaps make that weakness less of a problem?

[@nixc1972]

Hey Rob. This would be a perfect first bench for me. The price is right! I checked the links and from what I can tell the videos aren't available until later this year. You wouldn't happen to have the plans for sale by chance would you?

[@purask]

you dont need to buy plans for it he explained basic in this video and you can make the bench as large as you need

[@TheBeats4ya]

Great video!! Thanks for helping the newbies. I used an entire can of tung but was really fake finish oil. Should i add boiled linseed or wax on top of that?

[@guerd87]

Im just about to buy the plans and video for this bench in the new year. One thing I have not seen is how you set this bench up for jointing long edge? Is there a way to support the rear of the board or just set it on something? Sorry only very new to hand tool use.

[@johngunning2123]

Looks good but I'm interested in the bench you use now. I'm also interested in the spelling of "Vice". The expression vice versa means conversely or the other way around. In American English, the noun vise refers to a gripping or clamping tool. As a verb, vise means to force, hold, or squeeze as if with a vise. In both cases, the British spelling is vice and don't start me on colour or my biggest hate, the word, "gotten". There is no such word!!!!!!

[@martintheron1386]

I wonder how top MDF is attached to plywood?

[@davidyoung1106]

Rob, I have a two solid core pine doors, 8' x 3' x about a 1 1/2" thick. If I laminated those two doors together do you think it would make as solid of a top as the mdf? I will be using your design on the base for sure. great stuff.

[@rem7751]

I love this workbench! How well do the MDF dog holes hold up when using *other* tools. i.e. holdfasts or benchers clamps? Thanks.

[@mikebelik1193]

Rob, great bench for someone that is a weekend warrior. I do have one questions, why would someone use round bench dogs overs square? Round can be purchased easily, but square can be made in the shop with hardwood and your spring design? Thanks

[@mrjt1223]

I looked too and Chris is correct! The link works but when you try to pay for the class it say the videos are not available yet and to come back later. Any ideas on how we can get the videos?

[@splashpit]

Iv not seen this done before but you could make a shoulder vice that clamps into the end vice .

[@scottroy6195]

Is MDF more susceptible to issues due to humidity? I work out of a little shed without climate control and I'm always worried it would just soak up the moisture and be ruined. Would plywood work just as well/better? Thanks all.

[@rideak56]

Hey Rob, Going to be building this bench next week. From the video it looks like the top stretcher on the front of the bench would interfere with the sjoberg front vise mounting. I must be missing something. Let me know, Thanks

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

yes you have to cut out a spot for the vise to sit. Not a big deal but think of it when you are stapling the pcs of ply together, avoid that area, use clamps.

[@gpnewton]

Hey Rob, you mentioned in Knoxville that you were in the process of editing an updated version of this for your online workshop? Have y’all released that yet?

[@IAmKyleBrown]

Just launched today!

[@joshoertle3779]

To get a dead flat surface, you had to start with one. How did that go? What did you use to do the initial MDF glue up?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

The base, pretty easy to use the table saw to get the top stretchers straight and parallel, then get them flush to the top of the uprights Now you use this as the platform to glue the mdf sheets to one and other.

[@jeremyforehand]

Thanks for sharing this video, Rob. I've recently built my own and have gotten to the point of installing vises. How did you attach the vise to the mdf? Will lag screws have sufficient hold in the mdf?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

2” lags will do fine.

[@chadashton7029]

How about something like this compared to a heavy torsion top bench made from similar material? Or is this top going to be just as flat? For someone that's getting started and without a large work surface....what is a good way to make sure the top does glue up flat?

[@scarmenl]

Sweet, make it with kick out wheels so it easy to move.

[@ironmantooltime]

He added those in a more recent version 👍

[@robertproctor5425]

Rob, I can't learn enough from you. If I widen the base by 3 inches would it be feasible to shorten the length to 49 inches to allow all 4 slabs be cut from one sheet of MDF with little to no waste? Would the loss of 13 inches be an issue?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

That one is up to you, will it suit what you plan to use it for?

[@robertproctor5425]

My goal is to use it on what I've learned from your videos...dovetail cuts, planing and joinery work. I have an assembly table already.@@RobCosmanWoodworking

[@nacholibre2129]

Great video and love the bench! But what about attaching the vise? It doesn't seem like the mdf will have that type of meat to grab on to like plywood. Did you screw it straight to the mdf?

[@rickhickman2730]

Hi Rob and team, just curious how strong and durable those dog holes would be for something like a holdfast

[@peterpei9411]

I like to make a beginner bench such as yours. Do I have to use MDF? I have these 1" particle boards. If I glue 3 of them together to form the top, would it be sturdy enough? Would it stay flat over time? What can I do to make the sides stronger or protected? Do I need to glue a piece of masonite on the top and the sides?

[@robertalmeida3180]

Hi Rob, I like this bench. Question, if I made the top out of 3/4 plywood and 1/4 fiberboard (easily changed if damaged), wrapped with, say, 3/4 maple.....so 3" thick plus 1/4" - maple sides would be 3 1/4" wide by whatever......would that work? Any unforeseen issues gluing the top together? It could be screwed and glued, it would never be seen, fiber top just screwed in place.....thanks, Bob

[@robertalmeida3180]

Thank you, I was wondering that.

[@fatdogslow8011]

Hi Rob. Going to make an MDF top for a workbench. I have some hard maple laying about. Would you think it would be ok to edge the MDF with it? Or do you think it could cause seasonal problems?

[@peterglatt4770]

This may be a silly question, but, considering that Rob mentioned the ease of replacing the top if need-be and transportability, how do you connect the top to the base?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

A single dowel in the center of each upright and one lag bolt up through the middle of each stretcher.

[@janetcoursey6756]

What is the best way to glue up the top and keep it flat?

[@darrellcurr8977]

Hi Rob, where do you get your vices for that work bench? I would like to make this bench Thanks Darrell

[@user-qv2gv5hu9p]

Thanks for the plan, I am a newbie and I want to build this one. Can not see the top long stretchers clearly, did they connected to the legs with threaded rod ？

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Bolts, the same way the bottom stretchers attach.

[@sachae321]

Great timing. I was just about to glue up some 2x3 to make a top in 2 sections so I could flattening it easier but MDF top would be sooooo much easier I hadn't considered it. Would it be harsher on edged tools though (should a slip occur)?

[@diowk]

maybe, but who cares? you probably need practice sharpening anyways :) its not going to damage anything... I rely on my block plane to flush up all kinds of materials (including mdf and melamine) it dulls it fast but I resharpen and keep working.

[@davidsalazar7209]

Great video Mr. Cosman. I purchased the MDF and built it with a tool tray down the center of the bench top. I've read that MDF is very absorbent. Was there any tricks to applying the tongue oil to the edges of the MDF? Or is it as simple as saturating it with 4 coats? Thanks for the inspiration!

[@troykinnison4575]

David Salazar .

[@jaapvegter9756]

Hi Rob, I have actually bought the MDF today :-) Did you sand it before glueing and what glue did you use? (I have Titebond ultimate wood glue).

[@flyingasics]

How is the front vice mounted?????

[@wiscgaloot]

It's unclear how you attach the long top stretchers of the base to the legs. On your web page I see bolt heads, but the stretchers don't have holes cut in them for the bolts, that are in the lower stretchers.

[@kperellie]

Would MDO work or be a good choice for the top, and I guess the supports too? Will the laminated pieces stay together when glued?

[@kperellie]

Rob, it's Medium Density Overlay. It's a plywood core with a paper surfaced veneer. For many decades it was and probably still is used for many highway and street and business signs etc and it's a good product for plywood projects that will be painted. If you buy sheet goods from a true lumber yard ask them to show it to you.

[@tennislvr1869]

Are the plans available for purchase?

[@JohnJeiJei]

Mr. Cosman, how would you recommend chamfering the edges of an MDF top, such as yours, if i do not have a router available? Would chamfering with a plane, and sanding the edges a bit work in prolonging the MDF life, or is routing the preferred way (mechanically speaking, not in terms of effort)? What finishes can be applied to MDF? (i know i can probably rent one, rather than buying a cheap one-use-only router, but i'd rather keep this as cheap as possible to boot) Thank you for your videos, i'm at the point where any information is precious, and your videos are invaluable!

+Rob Cosman Thank you for the quick response, On the vise box i see in your video it says AV-15 the av stands for adjustable vise... i believe the SJO 33302 is sjobergs part number... rockler sells the SJO33302 but for installation details the paper says AV-15, therefore I now believe they are the save vise... just model number vs part number.... love the video giving us 17 deg angle for use in softwoods.... i tried it and no more tear out of material in pine dovetails.... works great

Hi - does anyone have a rough idea of how much tung oil this will require? Are we talking 200ml or 5 litres?! And same with the glue - any idea on quantity for the laminated top. It's only the top I'm going for at the moment.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Well i have never measured it but you should use a tung oil finish not pure tung oil. You can make your own by cutting pure tung oil 50% with mineral spirits. I would think a quart would do!!!

[@wjjpearson]

RobCosman.com thanks again Rob. I’m drawing up plans for the base as it will need to sit against a wall and I’d like some storage underneath. Will try some simple lap joints. Enjoying the design process actually and practicing my drawing. Will be a couple of months as I’m moving house but then I’ll post a pic. Loving your videos and support.
