what's up guys i'm nick and this is Build Dad Build

a place where we firmly believe if you're about to rock

guys in this episode we're going to be building a workbench

now i know you guys are saying nick you just built that

sweet ass workbench over there you know the one

look at that baby i'll link to it right up here

but as the shop grows my needs grow and as my needs grow i need more flat places

to just lay crap so i'm going to build another workbench this bench is going to

be a little bit different we're going to have the bench and then it's going

to come up it's going to have a shelf above it i want to be able to utilize

the underside of that shelf for some filming needs of course i want to use

the top side of that shelf for some storage needs i just made it 76 and

a half inches tall i will link to the plans down below but my concern was if

that would clear the track of the garage because i wasn't really thinking it's

going to be right here let me make sure it gives me about 10 or 12 inches above

which is perfect for my ammo boxes that i use to store just miscellaneous crap

so i am gonna just have those lined across the top of it probably need

to pick up a couple more and then we're gonna put a shelf underneath

for some more storage as well all right guys when i originally designed this

it was just over engineered way too much it would have been kind of a monstrosity

i wanted to make the shelf above like half the width of the bench

uh and it just but once i got it drawn up in sketchup it was

it just looked kind of ridiculous so i simplified it in order to use less

lumber and to do that one of the things we'll be using are these corner brackets

made by simpson strong tie just still a workbench kit which actually got me

uh thinking about it in the first place and that workbench kit comes with like

everything you need to make just a a basic workbench but i wanted to have

the shelf over the top so i'm going to modify that design a little bit

the beauty of that is uh at the home depots if you buy these by themselves

i think they're six bucks a pop but if you buy 12 of them which is what we're

going to need in this build they're only 3.99 a pop because they give you a

bulk discount and then everything else is being made out of two by lumber

except for the bench tops which i'm making out a half inch ply uh don't get

the nice sanded stuff get the exterior sanded stuff because it's a lot cheaper

it's got way better grain texture in it which is something that i like and

i don't have any way to transport a four by eight piece of plywood i know a lot

of you guys don't either so i bought the two foot by four foot sections

uh and designed this around use utilizing each one of those

pieces um so all we're going to have to do is notch out the corners

one thing to note especially when building shop furniture consistency in

the length of your cuts is much better than accuracy now you don't want to be

five or six inches off but if you're a half inch off so i want to make

this 76 and a half inches tall 76 and a half right yes 76 and a half

but let's say for whatever reason i just was off and

i cut uh one of my supports at 76 inches well as long as i have like

my a stop block set up and i i repeat the same cut over and over and over

i will have four supports that are all 76 inches yes i would lose a half

inch overall but everything would still be level that makes sense

for you but that's why i'm wearing a different shirt because i'm maker af

so yesterday it got a little weird let's get weird man

not like that not like that um a storm kind of rolled in out of nowhere i mean

i knew it was gonna rain but like a pretty bad storm came in power went

out all sorts of stuff got crazy so like towards the end of my day my

filming got a little sporadic and i don't think i actually captured me um

erecting this you're welcome internet it's an erection but it is up it is

level-ish and the reason i say that is because it's sitting in my garage which

is not level after the way i put this thing together here's what i would do

different the first thing i would have done is i would assemble the short sides

instead of the long sides first and now in retrospect i i don't know why i was

so hot and bothered to do the top and not just put all the brackets on i'm

gonna do to assist myself with that is i have a couple of spacers just scrap that

i cut i have a 10-inch spacer for the bottom brackets and i have a 34-inch or

john holmes edition of a spacer for the actual bench top the way i came

up with those measurements is this from the top of this

to the bracket is an inch and a half and then we're also going to have a half

inch of ply on top of that so i want the first shelf to be at 12 inches

and the bench top to actually be at 36 inches so i just took two inches

off that measurement and came up with john holmes and what we'll call tiny

basically i'm going to take john holmes here big johnny h uh i'm gonna put him

here and i'm just gonna mark a line and then i'm gonna move over here

i'll mark a line i'm gonna do that on the other two

and then take little joe here and do the bottoms am i still on camera i am okay

so basically you just want to cut both ends of the 2 by

so you make sure that you have a flat reference surface

and then i just want to butt it right up against there and bam bam

all right in about another 20 minutes uh about a

half gallon of sweat and about 6 000 screws later you have

the perfect jungle gym for your children it's not going anywhere

tiny doing double duty baby way to go

and bam there you have it that's honestly probably the easiest

workbench i've ever built if i need to build shelving or any more benches

i will absolutely use these because it takes the guesswork out of like getting

your joints right and things like that i barely had to i barely had to square

anything up or level anything because those brackets just pull everything

in they're amazing and i love them and i will buy more of them amazing so amazing

so i can't say it's the cheapest workbench i've ever built but it

sure was the quickest what i'll do is i'll link to the workbench kit

down below if you want to build that basically it's just a bench

with a backing on it uh that you can do like a pegboard or something or another

it's around it's around 48 to 50 bucks uh if you if you ordered on amazon if

you go to home depot if they have it it's like 42. and the brackets man don't

even waste your time on like amazon or anything like that go to home depot

because the brackets are like eight bucks a pop if you order them off

amazon uh like i said before they're five or they're six ish they're like

5.99 or something if you buy less than 12 if you buy 12 or more uh there's a

bulk discount and you get them for like 3.99 i think but man i tell you what

uh no real hiccups along the way or anything it was uh the build is really

that easy uh i was surprised it was that easy to tell you the truth i don't

have any i wish i would've or anything like that i do have this one tip though

uh whenever i'm working with a new workspace and trying to figure out like

the best way to like have my tools and whatnot i don't do anything permanent to

begin with so i just so i just put some screws in the wall and a couple up in

the bench just as temporary placeholders to see if i like having like my torch

equipment right there uh if it doesn't flow for me then i'll try something else

so with no hiccups along the way the only thing i really need to do

now is thank my patrons i'll pop them up right here i have enough

new patrons that i had to write them down um which is only three

but still so i'd like to welcome to the fray Kevin Condon Ray Flynn

and Jenny Talbert uh and i think we had a couple more people sign up at the

three dollar level uh thank you guys all for your continued support uh especially

Stephen Mann and Nick the greek oh and one more shout out goes to Steve over at

wolf woodworking creations uh who did kind of a take on my wine display uh

and made a whiskey display he sent out a couple of these for me to light on fire

so uh so steve i look forward to uh to burning your stuff for you

all right guys and that's it that's all i got so until next time

thanks for playing oh did we miss the

clinkies now thanks for playing i gotta get to
