Just came back to this video and was sketching it out as I watched and saw your comment! Saved me a lot of time, $10 was a no-brainer. Just purchased!

[@elvisb4219]

You are on the right track...Will purchase

[@jonathanbaxter5821]

Nice design. Curious why you didn't make a fold-out platform for the table saw instead of hanging it off the end. Would require no mods to the table saw and would make the table more compact when not using the saw.

[@MCLBC]

​@@UpgradedHealth How are the plans? I'm new to woodworking and wondering if they're easy to read!

[@michaelandrews8944]

How much would you charge to make one?

[@georgel3657]

I'm a carpenter, that's a nice simple but well thought out design. You took lots of care and I wouldn't have done a thing differently. People go overkill on these benches but yours is all 99.9% would need. Well done. Great job.

[@skie6282]

The only thing id advise on is to slightly round over the endges of the miter saw hole cover board, and the edges of the holes in the table. That makes sure nothing gets caught on them when your in the middle of ripping something on the table saw, and its a very quick modification.

[@josephawatson]

I've watched a few dozen of these type videos and this is the first that shows you the completed project before the construction starts. Glad you edited the video that way. I liked being able to see what features it had first beforehand. thanks for that.

[@tonybarkdull1199]

Very nice bench. One idea. You can create fences for either side of the miter saw for longer pieces and just stake them down with the dog holes and clamps. Store them underneath

[@elvisb4219]

[@GrinderCB]

To avoid the cantilever effect on the table saw platform, some foldable legs could easily be added. Split a 2x4 then cut to length. Attach them using hinges or locking brackets. To secure them in the folded position, add magnets or velcro or whatever.

[@tonyelleevans3322]

What a brilliant and simple idea to use the off-cuts of the 2×4s for the legs. As they say, waste not, want not. Thank you for the video and the ideas. I appreciate ya!

[@jonmhayden]

This is an awesome idea. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a way to make my 1-bay garage workshop useful. I can never even cut wood in it. I have to move my table saw or planer outside to do anything. But if I could come up with a way to make a workbench double as a table saw, miter saw, planer, routing table combo, I could fit it all in there and also use it as a work bench. I just don't ever want to remove any items though because all those tools are heavy :) I need a way to crank tools up and down haha.

[@jimkingsland1645]

Thanks for the great design and build detail! Great idea to have the miter saw well with workbench cover! And the table saw mount too!

[@GruntHarley]

I love the table, I would make one minor change. I would add a storage under the workbench for the saw.

[@nigelross7896]

I've been looking at all types of build-your-own work benches over the past 6 months and probably viewed over 100. Why I missed your creation during my searches, I do not know. But I found it, thank goodness. Without doubt, the best instructional video and best workbench that will fit my needs precisely. Great detailed description as you progress through the cut out and assembly. You made it look so easy but suspect that was because your video was well planned out and put the right amount of time into the more complex parts during assembly. Thanks for a fantastic video and hope to start my build next week.

[@BeardedBadger77]

I've been searching for a saw station design for months due to having a 10' × 20' shop. This is perfect for my space!

[@jwall62]

I just built a post and beam workshop 10x20, I have shelves running down both 20' walls, this will fit right in the middle creating aisles on all sides to reach everything. Perfect.

[@DefaultUserGaming]

Thanks for the video. This is great pacing and very simple to follow with little fluff... you don't often see videos like this.

[@lordrichard8184]

That’s a pretty nice design for a work bench. When you mount the table saw you want the table saw to be about 1/16-1/8 inch higher then the bench top. This way if the board or whatever your cutting has a downward bend it should still clear the gap between the table saw and bench. Also you could add legs under the table saw for extra support. Also I would put a shelf under the bench instead of that single stretcher. It’ll give you lots of extra storage space. Plus it will also help by adding weight to the bench. This may eliminate the need for extra support legs under the table saw.

[@MatthewEncina]

There are some great ideas in here. Thanks so much for sharing your build and process!

[@Cyclingrob79]

Looks like a great bench. My only suggestion would be to add an angle support from the end of the table saw extension to the middle/bottom of the legs.

[@nvorano]

That was exactly my thought too

[@jessestevenson9295]

This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?

[@JSLEnterprises]

angle support for the whole table, and angle support for the table saw, and then get some sheet metal bent and cut to cover the workbench in its entireity. That ply isn't going to stand up long term.

[@jakedeklerk1068]

The table will not handle much weight ,should be okay for light diy

[@michaelhamerin3814]

I was thinking of extending the bottom out under the table saw using 2 full length rails and eliminating the stretcher. This would give u a platform to store your miter saw, when not in use, and counterbalance the weight of the table saw.

[@boots7859]

These is a really cool idea. I know its simple, however its really nice that you can move it around so easily. Solves that eternal problem of garage workshops.

[@paulerlic5393]

You should make a bench that puts the fence of the miter saw inline with the max width of the fence on the table saw so you don't have to move the miter saw when making rip cuts, that would be cool! Also added bonus the material you have to cut with the miter saw will already be under the miter saw!

[@KeyKeeper86]

Do you have any illustration of what you're suggesting? I am very new to woodworking and only plan on building a workbench; but am bad in visualizing things yet. The bench in this video is nice. I don't like the constant stress on the 2x4s which the table saw rests on. I think they will likely bend/warp over time. I also have concerns about the top surface. It will surely allow cutting boards and sheets, but I think, putting something heavy on it may introduce some curvature (ruin the flatness)...

[@keneldred9030]

Congratulations young man! That’s one really great portable work bench! I’m really proud of you for doing such a great job of coming up with the plan and putting it into the real finished product! Take care and keep up the great work!

[@patrickhofmeister5546]

Really well done, thank you! I’m new to wood working and this was THE size bench I was looking for help with! I’m adding a fold down surface to the back side so I can gain extra table top surface when needed. I also am taking note of the need for support with the table saw and adding some legs there. Keep killin it!

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

Thank you KZbin for recommending multi functional mobile work bench. I need to make one.

[@caramelzappa]

Nice simple build. Would love to see a version with a flipping top so you would just rotate the chopsaw underneath when not in use. It could have a backsplash behind the saw that becomes part of the top of the table when folded down.

[@SenselessUsername]

You mean the one Woodshop Junkies channel uses?? Plans and explanations enough there!

[@2Deep7880]

Just built this last week definitely a game changer!!!

[@rbeehner2]

I like it! For me, I think I'd put a router table instead of a table saw at the end and use 2x6 frame construction, while moving the legs under the overhung part. Also, I'd like to add a leg clamp. Another idea I have is to add a shelf along the bottom to hold the miter saw when not in use and also make that interchangeable with a thickness planer. For my very tiny shop this is a perfect work bench solution. Thanks.

[@MrFilimn]

A commercial with some freak with an obsession for belts keeps spoiling this great video !

[@Litehamer]

This is brilliant. I'm new to woodwork but feel I could probably manage this over the course of 3 - 4 days. Love the set up and would work in my small space . Thank you

[@maxz2433]

Great idea and relatively simple to build. Being able to joint the 2x4's on the table saw is a plus. You should be able to add strength to the table saw support arms by adding 45 degree plywood (perhaps a couple of them glued together) between the arms and the legs.

[@justanotherchannel6097]

There is only one type of person that can actually take the time to design something like this for themselves, and that’s a Ryobi user. This is a compliment.

[@scotcindybettes410]

Great video, this resonated so much with me. No festool domino or thousands of dollars of clamps. Ryobi drill, dewalt table saw, harbor freight clamps; just like my shop. I'm gonna give this build a shot, thanks.

New sub, and yes this will probably be the bench I build for my too small basement shop.

[@felongtw1]

Completely agree and you (Moser) earned yourself another sub!

[@seankrake4776]

I’m designing a bench similar to this. I’m trying to keep the bench as small as possible, so I’m looking at making it 2’x6’. I think I will keep my table saw on the inside of the legs rather than outside, and I can’t see any reason to not permenantly fix it to the bench. I want to be able to use the miter saw slot as a router table slot as well, so I think I will use 2x4’s at the edge of that well to hold the miter saw without blocking the router. I’m also putting a floor on mine to store tools, and an extra set of braces to act as wood storage between the legs. Awesome video. It is really inspiring to see someone who is operating out of a garage shop with diy level tools.

[@handymanhoney-do6881]

Suggestions:use the remaining plywood for a lower shelf. Add a dust collector to counterweight the table saw and have a cleaner garage. And it gives you a place to put the miter saw when you need the outfeed area. Put pegboard on the end opposite the table saw to store pencils, measuring instruments, brushes, PPE, glue, fasteners, etc.

[@erraticginger8354]

Just an Addition to your comment: The bottom piece that the miter saw sits on could be modified with a Hole to accommodate for a router.

[@dangiese1]

Couldn't you just drop the blade for the outfeed area?

[@jamesshieh88]

Add a 45deg kicker to the cantilever portion to transfer to load of the table saw to the legs directly

[@JuanPabloContrerasC]

can u explain plis? i dont understand the concept xD

[@due51outdoors]

@Juan, the table saw is hanging off the end of the table with all its weight resting on the tables top frame rail. James suggests bracing those top rails using a support brace that goes from the underside of the rails to the legs (cut at 45 degrees). That way, the saw's weight is transfered to the legs,

[@jimysk8er]

That would only transfer the weight more evenly to the legs and make the whole thing more rigid. It would still lead the table to tip if not more do to even more weight on the other side of the leg. The easiest solution would be to add weight to the opposite side of the table. The "kicker" would need to need to go from the ground to the legs to move the balance point over. If the table saw section where shaped like an L (support legs that reach the ground) and slid in and out of the underside of the table, that would be really slick and address the issue of tipping while getting rid of the two bars sticking out the side.

[@jelias9247]

Or he could just make a stand alone “cart” to put the table saw on that buts up to the table and is held together by either magnets or a clamping mechanism.

[@-Meuric-]

one of the most informative table builds I've seen, Thank you.

[@bengraff4512]

Loved this design. My only concern is the counterweight needed on the opposite end to keep your table from flipping not only under the weight of the table saw, but also in the event you place a heavy material on the table saw.

[@Xatruch504]

Couple of sandbags or dumbbells might do the trick, or just whatever that can be used as counterweight. But for a garage or small workshop that table is terrific.

[@bjkeeter6178]

I think I’ll do this but add a heavy Vice to the opposite side.

[@michaelcrabtree4221]

Brilliant, simple solution. There are a few minor details that I think I would have done differently, but overall this is brilliant in its simplicity. Not exactly what I need for myself, but then again I don't think I will find someone who has built something exactly fitting my needs. Hence me on KZbin getting ideas. I love your idea of holes in your bench for clamping. I may run with that idea myself. I'm glad this seems to work well for you. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@rogerthat24]

Great idea and execution! I always wondered if it's safe to rid of the rounded corners on a table saw that way, especially when construction 2x4s are not straight. I'd add foldable legs at the table saw end to prevent the table from tipping over.

[@josevelez7539]

Nice work! If you add a pivot point towards the back of the base for the miter saw you could fold it down when not needed. Two latch locks can keep it on the upright position when in use. You could also build a platform under the table and store your planet there as well! I also have a router mounted to my table and a shop vac to keep things clean! Three gates on the vacuum hoses separate the suction from the router fence, table saw, and miter saw.

[@stuntbonk1]

[@cooper8d60]

Hey mate, great practical build, well done. I really like the ability to drop the mitre saw on that sub shelf. I noticed you put the mitre saw away in between on the video, have you considered putting a small shelf on the bottom stretcher for the mitre saw? Then when not in use you still have it on the bench and easily accessible to you. I did exactly that as I was putting my mitre saw away in between uses and found this a lot easier.

[@andrewprieto1164]

This would be a great addition. Also, if the miter saw is placed at the opposite end of the structure when not in use it would counter balance the weight of the tablesaw.
