I have a workbench that I'm not particularly thrilled with. It's okay, but there's a few things that I really don't like about it. I set out to design the perfect hybrid workbench for my little shop that will not only remedy the aspects I didn't like about my previous, but also have a bunch of additional versatile features! Check out the video to see the build and then stop by my website to pick up the plans so you can build your own!

"The last thing this world needs is an other epoxy rivertable " so true!
"I turned a Phillips screw into a flat screw, and it solved the problem. Remember that..." ha ha, such a good quote!
Stop encouraging him! 😉
I needed that!
He made realised how to make those screws usable...😇
@@drewkaree never! Ha ha
@@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403 I think it’s so funny
You didn't just build a workbench, you built a piece of furniture. Looks amazing! Love the outtakes.
Thanks!
Came for the workbench, stayed for the outtakes, learned how to turn a phillips screw into a flathead! Wish I'd known that yesterday.
Hah. Glad you liked it
gosh i wish i had this many tools to play with
I appreciate the outtakes. Shows humility and that you are in fact human! :) Well done, sir!!
Glad you liked it, Thanks Ryan
I don’t mind flatheads… in videos… when I’m not using them. 😂
Beautiful bench. Love the Danish Oil!
Hah
There are a lot of great features on this bench that I think I’m going to incorporate onto my next bench. Thanks for the ideas Drew!! Hope your neighbor isn’t still waiting on that river table.
Glad it was helpful!
Precise work, good jigs (You make it look deceptively easy), and then actually well placed, non-cheesy jokes.
Picked up a few ideas, had a few real laughs. I mean - good times :D
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it!
congrats Fisher, your outfeed table is now nicer than any piece of furniture I have :) well done mate, always love your videos.
Thanks 👍
I’m so glad I found you. Love your sense of humor and the bloopers. Makes me think I could do it to. Although, I think you may, very well, be a real woodworker. :)
Welcome aboard!
That is brilliant design, I am going to steal that idea of support for the extensions with casters. I really love how support leg and itäs frame is placed between the table legs, so when closed it it does not protrude out of the table frame.
Thanks, Michael!
I am not a hater. I love your integration of flathead screws. I look forward to trying to find where you use them. Oh crap. I should have mentioned that the Bench and Video was awesome too! Thanks Drew!
I love the video and the flat head screw but don't forget the outtakes please make more soon
A strong workbench goes a long way 👊🏼
I hope so!
I can’t express how much I appreciate how you have shown, while talking, the complete process of going from slabs to project. The music only wood working videos are virtually useless imo. Anyway, thx!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm not in need of a new workbench... but do I ever want to build one now! Darn you Drew. DARN YOU!
Haha, go for it!
@@FishersShop I will. But first I need those new bookshelves my wife asked for, and that cutting board my wife asked for, and to redo the deck like my wife asked me to, and a new bed for my son that he asked my wife for and she asked me. Hhmmmm.... I'm sensing a trend here. I need to figure out how to get her to ask me for a new workbench
Heirloom quality. Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you kindly!
I couldn't make it to the premiere but since it's a Fisher's Shop video, I HAD to watch it later. Great job and a really nice bench.
Bill
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Bill
Flathead screw for the win! Your videos are so entertaining. I want this bench.
Glad you like'em! Thanks for watching
The bench is prettier than fine furniture rich people put in their living rooms!
And now I get to mark it all up. :)
Love this project!
Wouldn't be a Fisher project without a flatbread 😁 Love this too.
"...because I'm fancy like that." LMAO!
Mmmm... flatbread sounds delicious!
Wow when you finished the workbench my initial thought was "Nice, looks like a sturdy, simple, effective workbench without too many bells and whistles", and after you explained how to use it I understood that it wasn't missing features, it just accomplished the same things even more simply
Thanks 👍
Amazing built.Hope your neighbour gets a break in 2023🤣🤣🤣🤣.Everything of the best for 2023.
Oh he'll get "broken" into... for sure.
A little "extra" is a really nice thing, in this case... Beautiful...
Thanks!
This was even better the second time I watched it.
I hear it's amazing at around 50 times
@@FishersShop Hmmm...whoever you heard that from must have been too cheap to buy your plans.😉
Bought these plans and the under cabinet as well today. Now to just wait for my neighbors to go away so I can move their upright piano collection over here and do this in Mahogany!
Have fun with the build!
G’day Drew, you’re one of my favourite woodworking CZcams channels primarily because of the nice videography & projects you turn out mate plus the wicked sense of humour.
Glad we didn’t see your legs at the swimming pool 😮😁😁😁👍👍👍
Everyone should be glad for that. :)
Well done, Drew! That bench looks really nice. I like the unnecessary walnut usage 👌
Thanks for the video and your fine sense of humour.
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it
@@FishersShop also, if I may be so bold as to say that you are looking good, man. Looks like the Lord of the Rings challenge is paying off its dividends. Keep it up 👍
@@matthysloedolff haha I’ll chalk it up to trick photography
12:15 straight-up evil scientist laugh, and I’m all for it. Love this bench, didn’t occur to me how useful the sides are when folded down as clamping surfaces for vertical pieces. So smart!
Yeah, it's super useful whether they're down or up. :)
The quality of the humor is matched only by the quality of the craftsmanship. Well done.
Thanks, Steve! Glad you liked it
I was getting worried that I could no longer relate to your woodworking skills until I saw the outtakes. All Is right in the world again.
All hail the flat head screw!!
Beautiful work Drew! It’s “only” shop furniture, but I find it makes such a difference to work in an environment with beautiful things around you. It inspires you to make great things with it! Can’t wait to see the rest!
Exactly my thinking too
That Danish oil was a really nice touch.
Yes it was!
I just love watching your videos. Can't help but laugh and enjoy your skills as well!
Thanks, Dave
Awesome looking bench Drew and another Great video. I have to say you are looking your best at 12:46.....😉
Haha! A subtle Muz Shop shout-out
Love the workbench, looks great, I too have "salvaged" a stripped Phillips by cutting a slot and backing it out with a flat screwdriver!, Another use for a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel! LOL; keep the videos coming love em! and the out takes too!
Glad you liked it! :)
Wow! What a great looking and very functional work bench!
Thank you very much!
Thank you Fisher! God bless you.
You are very welcome
Lol. Your videos are cool, And I love the humor in them. Nicely done my friend. Nicely done.
Thanks, Michael
Much better than a river table. Nice work
Haha, Thanks Peter👍
I laughed out loud at the clamp removel trick,i was expecting them to all be gone. Great use of walnut!
Haha, had to put my own spin on it
Best use of walnut I've seen aside from firewood; shop furniture. 🔥
And the use of superiors maple for function and decoration is superb.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Set to the SNL skit with Christopher Walken -- "needs more flat head screws" gorgeous workbench... that walnut didn't lighten up your neighbors wallet at all.
Hah. "I gotta fever... and the only cure is..."
great design and spectacular look! a piece that would do well out of the shop as well as intended.
Thank you very much!
@9:00 I recognize this laugh as the standard "damn I'm good" chuckle we all make when we are pleased with ourselves. For me, it usually comes a couple hours before loudly berating myself with foul language after I realize I got overconfident, went to fast, and screwed something up.
And I have to echo what others have said. This is a gorgeous bench with some very thoughtful functionality. If your goal was with this video was to inspire, mission accomplished.
Awesome! Glad to hear it inspired! Thanks
First time on your channel and you’ve won my subscription with this one good sir. Gorgeous bench and right amount of spicy food jokes.
Hehe, glad you enjoyed it. Welcome
Love the build, and the flathead screw fix at the end had to boil someone's blood haha
Haha, thanks
Drew, builds like this is exactly why I keep coming back to your channel. Not only are you fun to watch, but your builds are also well thought out, designed to do the job they are meant for while still looking nice and buildable by others with only a limited amount of shop tools.
Keep up the good work. I plan to build one of your flip-carts for a couple of my tools.
Thanks! That's exactly what I'm going for with my designs
Best looking work bench on You Tube. You're lucky to have such a giving neighbor. Well done.
Thanks 👍
Looks really nice. Like the power outlet.
Wicked looking bench, Drew~! Might have to add one of these to my shop. Love the versatility~!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Wow, that's a piece of art!
Thanks, Jim!
Not gonna lie your content makes me laugh out loud as much if not more than a dry bar comedy
I love Dry Bar! :)
The person who would make a work bench out of unnecessary Walnut -- I love it! Turned out great! Merry Christmas
Thanks, you too!
Really looks beautiful Drew
Thanks, Mark!
What an awesome and versatile bench! I think I'm going to make one to replace my current outfeed/assembly table. I'll do it using material and similar build materials as my Cosman workbench with a layered MDF top and Baltic birch base.
Sure, that'd work
Always a pleasure to find one of your videos in my queue! Great work...as usuaL.
Thanks again!
I know it's not a huge detail but I love the all black drawer slides
Great build Drew!! Super Awesome workbench!! Love the walnut!! Definitely necessary!! 👍🙌
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for this video...i'm nowhere near your skill level, but I so enjoy your videos...our sense of humor is much the same haha
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching, Johnny
Always love the dry humor 😂
😉
An early Christmas present 🎁! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone in the Fisher Clan.
Thanks much, Clyde! To you as well
Fisher, I just want to say I love your videos. Most of all, you haven't gone to the dark side of tool reviewing and tool pushing. I have started letting some of my other channels go because that has become their main focus. It's sad. Please keep making videos about actually woodworking. I learn something new from most of them and I love your humor. Thanks.
Thanks, Karen! Now go and buy a Bessey clamp! 😉 j/k
@@FishersShop I work with Bessey at my job. Have 2 at my home shop. Someday I will have enough clamps. LOL. Said no one ever!
Inspired by what I've learned from your site, I built myself an $800, custom work bench
$200 - Wood & Hardware
$200 - Replacement windshield
$400 - Replacement 'soft touch' car radio.
It seems that my car was almost long enough to hold the wood...
Love the shade at epoxy tables!!!
Came back to view the video and get the plans. Thank you for keeping it fun!!
Glad you enjoyed it
😮
You SOLVED a problem with a flathead screw?!?!?! It’s a Christmas miracle!
Great work! I can’t wait to see the storage!
Hehe, thanks!
Love your channel. Your humor and craftsmanship are first class. And love the "flathead" screw in everything. Puts a bit of history in each build.
That's right! Thanks, Paul
Great Workbench work Drew as usual.
Thanks 👍
"Just like when I'm at the pool" haha!
Beautiful bench! Simple and functional!
Thanks!
The one time a flat head screw saves the day! It looks beautiful! I love how your home must be filling up with beautiful furniture and accessories. My dad made a lot of our furniture and it added a special feel to our family home, I'm glad your family get the same experience.
Thanks, Caroline! Yeah, I'm starting to get quite a collection. :)
That. Is. Beautiful.
Thanks!
that's one nice bench. I wish I had waited to make mine until now.
Thanks! :)
Norm Abram ain't got jack on you. Very nice man !
'cept for the beard
I can’t really express how much I love and appreciate this video. You hit the ball out of the park with this workbench.
Thank You very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
more than just a bench ,again a master piece^^
Thanks, Mark
As usual, great build Drew! Love your use of black walnut, thick bench top, and of course the ever present flathead screws. Nice homage to your granddad.
There's no such thing as unnecessary when it comes to shop furniture especially if you're building with walnut. Thanks for the entertainment during this West Michigan winter bomb. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Dan! Stay warm! :)
At first mention of "a set of perfectly sized legs" (3:15) I was shocked that you missed that opportunity to make a joke about your legs... but you did not disappoint a second time (4:23). LOL!
I'm here all night. Be sure to tip your waitresses.
I couldn't agree more with your assessment of river tables! Wood looks plenty beautiful all by itself!
That is one beautiful kitchen island. I’d use it to make all the spicy foods.
😉
Oh OH! I was talking to your neighbor and well...remember that walnut you used.....
Like usual, you've come up with a great design for both form and function. Can't wait to see your planned upgrades. - Chris
Thanks, Chris!
This is very well executed Drew. This might be top five all workbenches ever built on CZcams really well done man always good when I drew Fisher video comes out. Take care man.
Thanks 👍
Love your videos. They are funny and I enjoy watching you build stuff. 👍
Thanks 👍
Merry Christmas and have a Happy Holiday 🎄🕎⛄
Same to you! Thanks!
I LOVE the looks of those contrasting color plugs. Really makes it pop.
Right? I love it too
Just what I wanted for Christmas, a new Fisher’s Shop video 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
“Just like when I’m at the pool”🤣🤣
Awesome build sir!!! Way to go Drew
Thanks 👍
Awesome build, Fish.
Glad you enjoyed it
You had me at ‘My neighbor gifted me all these black walnut slabs.’ 🤣😂😆😂🤣
The pool/legs comment got me, haha!!!
😉
Absolutely beautiful! Nice work. I'm looking to build another workbench/outfeed/assembly table and would love to do a much simpler version of what you did. I'll check out your plans.
Awesome. Have fun!
A thing of beauty. I love your handy tips throughout the video and funny narration.
Glad you enjoyed it
You really ARE fancy like that.
You tempt me. Ironically , I have a mess of rough sawn black walnut and maple from trees I’ve cut in my yard.
Well there ya go! Get busy! :)
