In this video I will show you how to build a BIG and STRONG workbench in one day! It mainly uses 2x4 lumber for most of the elements so it is also quite inexpensive but will be exceptionally strong.

You could build the whole thing with just a drill and a circular saw, but of course more advanced tools will make your life easier. I would rate this build as beginner level and would be a great weekend project to build your first workbench. If you are more experienced you will fly through this build with ease and end up with an amazing workbench to add to your tool collection.

The legs and shelf stands came as a kit from "2x4 Basics" and you can find them here:

Beyond that, regular construction screws, a few 2x2's and some 3/4" plywood and pegboard was used.

This would be a great workbench for many uses including general assembly and projects, an electronics lab, a 3D printing table, automotive work, crafting, woodworking, and so on. It has plenty of storage space with an optional second shelf on the bottom (I only used one shelf in this video) and you can customize the dimensions to anything that will fit your needs or your space!

If you have any questions be sure to put them in the comment section, I try to get back to everyone. Thank you!
