    In this video, I'll show you how to make a cheap workshop workbench from pallets and reclaimed wood. It was a cheap and easy project, took only 2 hours to build and the completed workbench is really great for working. The workbench dimensions are 120x80x85 cm (L x W x H).

    This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

    So clever. I needed so much something that I can build on my workspot to craft a Shop counter then dissamble the workshop table. Thank u!!!

      @@SKATTworkshop Since watching your video (several times lol), I have since made a similar mobile workbench using 2 heavy Euro Pallets 1200 x 800mm, with the bottom one inverted. I then used 4 x 2x4 supporting legs between them to join bottom pallet with the top pallets. Great job and sturdy beyond belief. As I said in first post/comment, I was inspired by your video. Thank you! Greetings from Northern Ireland :-)

    The most simple pallet workbench. I was thinking while watching your video was to take some of the slats and put them together for a flat surface then screw some cheap hinges on one side so you can fold over the flat top to have a flat smooth surface when you need a smooth surface with no gaps. I like your build because it's simple and raw and functional. Of course sanding the splinters out but that is it. Who needs anything else unless their trying to make a piece of furniture to show off on youtube. A workbench is not a piece of furniture, otherwise it wouldn't be called a work bench. Its to get dirty and nicked etc... Thanks for the video.

    • @SKATTworkshop

      @SKATTworkshop  Před 4 lety +5

      Hi,thank you! In total I aimed the height of the workbench to be 80 cm. It depends about your workspace, existing workbenches, the type of work you will do, what is the height of the workbench you are comfortable working on...
      Don't forget to calculate the height of the wheels.
