These Make The BEST WORKSHOP TABLES / WORKBENCH!! (Tips, Tricks, Secrets--Workshop Table Full Build)

Makes sense, could use a vise for holding wood on top. Or, where can I get good clamps NOT made in china?

Wife found a beast of a table on Marketplace for $50. Guy used it to make concrete forms. I’d love to add a tool shelf

Great video! I'm looking to build my first workbench, and I love the idea of the flat solid core door surface. I'd like to build it exactly as you show here. However, no one seems to have these available. Are these masonite? Or....? What EXACTLY should I ask for? Lumber people at Lowes's/Home Depot are steering me towards butcher blocks....any guidance appreciated!

Very helpful video.

Great. Thank you : )

Are the solid core doors able to be ripped? I have a smaller space and might need 24” instead of 46”

For cutting out the rounded corners, could you not have drilled it with the hole saw and then used the circular saw for the straight bits? Undercut it a bit and hand-saw into the corners?
I'm not a woodworker. Just kinda what I thought you were going to do when I saw the hole saw.

Great build, I will try it. Do you have plans and a dedicated video, maybe I. Issues it

Did you take the stickers off yet?

This is a very good idea & design, love it!

Your Keep it simple attitude is well placed.Have watched a dozen work tables and this suites my needs.Would use only 1/2” plywood to lighting the bench.Might fix some Masonite on top for scarfing.Thanks for your designs

Thank you for your deep dive into this song!

I agree with everyone who said this project is doable--and very helpful when setting up a shop and beginning to work with wood. I bought my solid core door and was wondering how to support it. Many thanks.😅

how are the brakes on the castors? Does the table slightly skid? If you want the table to be perfectly level, do the castors interfere with that?

Saving this because im about to build my own massage table for my spa

I am Happy seeing this !

You nailed it on this build! The perfect table to roll out into the driveway when the weather is nice. I'd have no reservations screwing right into the top or adding a dog hole wherever I needed one for a project. It's almost exactly what I will build. I will add a low shelf for extra storage. Also I'd like to make one of the long sides flush with the top, to facilitate vertical clamping.

Nice build! Question: Why put the pocket holes on the inside? Is that just for aesthetics or are you aiming the screws towards the solid wood edges? Thanks!

Is 200mm too much of an overhang for the worktop to have? I’m designing my workbench at the moment and come to realisation that 200mm might be too much? Wanted to have enough space for clamping.

This is a great idea.

Would you say this has practical advantages over, say, a double layer of MDF? Besides the time required to laminate your MDF, of course.

This was super helpful, thank you honest carpenter!!!

About $80 for a solid core door… Lol
Was your discount $100??

Dog holes in top?

That is awesome. I think I could even build this. But it would take an entire weekend. Maybe this summer.🙂

so the legs are attached to the sides only and not the table top?

$143 for a solid core door at Lowes. Why wouldn't I just buy a 4x8 sheet of birch ply for $80?

I like your idea for the Workbench, basic simple and be accomplished. with what most wood workers have on hand. I was going to build a Ron Paulk style workbench with one end solid plywood, so I can put casters on the end, turn the bench on end when it is not in use for storage. My shop is in my garage and with little room to work on projects. I will use folding saw horses for support of the workbench.

What a great idea for a tabletop. I am definitely going to build this.

I used scrap materials(wood etc) and it cost less than $100

I work at Lowes in the millworks dept. I sell these doors and I know firsthand how heavy they are. It's the perfect work surface. I love your design. Perfect timing for me as I recently moved to a different house and need a new work bench. Thanks for your awesome videos. I

Loved this. Simple, practical, sturdy, & very functional. Great idea to use a solid door as the workbench top.

Would solid core doors (even with MDF inside) be good candidates for dog holes? If so, would it make sense to drill them all the way through, especially if the door gets flipped to the other side some day?

excellent build, love the idea of the door for the top

Hi! Sweet table, would you seal this table frame or top with anything? Thank you.

Picked up a 27x60 x1.5 laminated birch bench top from Woodcraft for $150. I'm good to go with this simple and functional workbench build. thanks

Love it- perfect for what I do— thank you!😁👍🌴

Awesome Idea, Thanks, I have resisted the idea of building a shop table due to the storage issues. This is perfect .

Hi Ethan... Well after watching your video many times this week, I went to HD today and bought a 36"x80" solid core door ($124-ouch) and 3/4"x4'x8' & 1/2"x4'x8' plywood along with some 2"x4"s for the legs. I'm gonna build your super cool design tomorrow. I'm a little confused about the 11.5" rips on the 3/4" plywood. You stated you have a 5.5" opening to access the shelf, along with 3" on top and 2" on the bottom. That's only 10.5", right? Where did the other 1" go? Or what am I not seeing or understanding? I would greatly appreciate you helping this beginner so I can make my cuts accurately tomorrow. Thank you for a GREAT video and a Brilliant idea with the shelf! Outstanding job!

I liked the place for tools

Has anyone added bench dog holes to a solid core door bench top? Curious how its holding up.

Great project! Maybe add another shelf close to where the caster wheel assembly is? It might be an easy place to store pipe clamps or partially finished elements like drawers.

How long were your Lag Bolts that you used for that price

What size wheels to you use?

No face vise or end vise?

I just built your table today. I love it!

Pls.suggest how to make medium wooden box with measurements how to cut wooden material for that

I was pretty sure that I knew how I was going to build my table. After watching this, though, I'm having second thoughts. Nice simple design.
