    I built this along with my son using your guidance. This was our fist project of this kind and we had a special time making it. Thank you Aaron.
  • I have been watching table builds for two weeks and yours is so simple. And you added a diagram of the dimensions. That really helped. Thank You
  • Found this video in 2019 - I've been looking at building a new workbench and this is easily the best and simplest for a guy like me, who understands basics but is no carpenter. Thank you so much for this!
  • Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. What I loved about it was that you tell us all the measurements for the timber etc., required to build it. There are a lot of good videos out there about building different things, but when we want to make the item for ourselves we don't have any plans or measurements to work from and if you are a learner DIY like myself it becomes all too much to guess these things. I really appreciate the trouble you have gone to, teaching others how to learn for themselves. Thank you once again and please keep sharing your great work with us.
  • @cesarcantero
    Finally a freaking tutorial that beginners can do. Thanks!
  • @MrJderouen
    You made something simple look so good. very instructional and entertaining.
  • @craigpenley7492
    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I really appreciate the details about the leg measurements which accounted for the thickness of the table top when you made your initial cuts. I can’t wait to get started on mine. Your plans and detailed narration was a huge help.
  • @zachp7603
    simple, easy, cheap and DIY. That's what people wanna see. Good job man!
  • @kelmor2402
    Now this my kind of table. Simple, Moble and Strong. Thank you!!
  • @jjextinguisher
    I've watched over 20 videos on how to build a workshop table, this one is by far the best! Great video editing, clear vocals while giving instructions! Will make sure all my pals see this video! I had a work bench on my list for about a year now and wanted a prebuilt metal table/tool chest, $400 Milwaukee table or a $70 custom built table made with your own blood sweat and tears is well worth any $1,000 table

    Great video. I built this workbench last weekend. It's a good design, easy to build, and is rock solid. Many of the "budget" workbenches shown on YT use single 2x4's for the legs, but the 4x4's make this one very rigid, important since it sits on casters. Rolls easily in and out of the garage, just what I needed. Thanks!
  • @kirktitgen6395
    This is the best workbench video. Period. I have built one of this for my garage couple of years ago, and I am building one more today for my basement. Thank you!!
  • @martyperry3327
    I made this exact workbench & it has been a major game-changer for me. Thank you for posting such a helpful video. I use my workbench, every single day!
  • @marilyn4888
    Great video. I (64 yr old lady) now have the confidence to build this! Thank you
  • @kencramer1697
    Great video. For those asking for a build sheet and materials list. I expanded on Mr. Fix It's reply. (4) 4x4's are cut at 30", (4) 2x4 cut at 24", and (4) 2x4 cut at 69" (6) 2x4's are cut at 21" 8' length in inches 96 10' length in inches 120 12' length in inches 144 Materials list (2) 4x4 8' - Legs (4) 2x4 8' - Sides (2) 2x4 8' - Center supports (1) 4x8 sheet of plywood (Thickness is up to personal preferance and budget) You can get one long side and one short side out of each 2x4 96-69=27. This allows for 3 inches of extra material for squaring up the end and for allowing for the width of the saw kerf. You can get 4 center supports out of each 2x4 You can get 3 legs out of each 4x4 Your bottom shelf will not be flush front to back by the width of the saw kerf from splitting the plywood in half.

    This was thing I made when I moved into my first house. The start of my new shop. Still looks great after two years.
  • @mtadams2009
    I watched this video some time ago and I am now planning on building it. I love how simple it is. Some bench builds are so complicated.
  • Just built this exact plan for my garage as im in a rental house. Thanks man! I gave you credit for it 👍
  • I just built this workbench over the weekend and I am very happy with it!! I plan to attach my miter saw to it and might add some fold down wings for more work surface. It was simple and very fast to assemble. Thank you for the great detailed video!
