This workbench has been made from MDF and Tasmanian Oak. Please keep in mind that the processes in this bench have been rushed due to my time constrains, meaning I made some quick design decisions and was not sticking to standard building practices. Including glue drying times. Some of the parts I glued up, especially the Tasmanian oak to the front of the first bench to help level it back out, was not fully cured when I trimmed it down. It had been drying for approx. 4 hours as I attended to other parts of the build like painting etc. In a better situation where I would have had more time, I would have let this cure for more than 24 hours due to the stresses. But the screws did a good job keeping everything together.

A help maybe?
Regarding resistance to bending (sagging workbench).
There are vast numbers of formulae calculating “bending stiffness” depending on the shapes of a design but the major influence is given by the height of the construction vs the bending direction.
The simplistic rule is that:
A) increase the width (thickness) by, let’s say 20% will increase the bending resistance by 20%
B) but increase the height by that 20% and it will increase the bending resistance by >70%.
Kind regards

PS. Big admirer of your work.
(Bending resistance for a rectangular cross section is:
Width x Height x Height x Height (divided by 6 which is irrelevant in the explanation for why increasing height is so much more rewarding).
pleasure watching you!
Very interesting to see how you practice new ideas and techniques.
It is a nice reminder that everyone is always tuning up their skills.
.......I thought I was the only one still hammering my thumb while everyone else had it all figured out!
@@hoilst265 One early detection indication for clinical depression, is when one starts to see people around oneself as idiots and bouncing on ever so slight things, finding them irritating.
Not condescending! 70 years experience talking and depression is an extremely dangerous condition. Just saying, maybe you should read up on the other 10 symptoms. Better safe than sorry.

@@hoilst265 see ya. Dont need that kind of attitude around here
I miss woodworking, haven’t had the space for years. Thank for letting me live vicariously through your channel.
Same here! I miss it so much.
Me three. I have the tools and such. However, I have no workshop nor am I able to work outside... It sux living around other people. I also watch and live vicariously through some amazing craftspersons. Nicks is in the top 3!
I miss it too! Have 2 day-napping babies and every time I’ve gone to do some cutting, the power tools wake them up. Have to wait until there aren’t anymore day naps. 4 years later. Lol. Watching Nick work will have to do for now.
. Sorry for you. Space you need indeed..
I didn't wanna wait around, so I just do it in my apartment
It does not matter if you are not fully invested in this project STILL A MASTER PIECE!!,Cheers from Toronto Canada!!
Hello from a fellow Torontonian.
Nick, being a perfectionist is both a gift and a curse. The bottom line is your work is so freakin amazing, even the most talented woodworker wouldn't ever notice any flaws as you see them... only you know where they are.
The project was a massive success! Instead of berating yourself, cut yourself some slack! 99.9999% (6sigma) is hard to attain, but you your work is ALWAYS beyond exceptional.
As an aside, I always love your soundtracks. My playlists are filled with music I hear on your channel and I thank you for that!
Thank you
Always spend time with your family once they're gone you'll regret it. We'll always be here and we'll never be as important as your family. Great video as always.
I watch several woodworking channels, this is certainly the most ARTISTIC of them. I like when you show how you fix "a problem" you've made. Very entertaining.
Thank you
This was already amazing all around, but specifically the bit where you not only have permanent vacuum bag stations, you also have the tubing routed through the table tops so they're tucked away inside the table internals?! Chef's kiss.
Incredible how what looks like a beautiful bespoke filing cabinet for large engineering drawings, opens up to reveal a couple of marvelous functional vacuum workstations plus a few large utility storage drawers! Genius craftsman!
Wish I had a vacuum setup like yours. I am stuck with using the PVP for now : Parked Vehicle Press . I lay the work out in the driveway between boards and park a car on it.
Great idea! I also use MDF a lot for my workshop. It's not so nice to see, but the quick build gives satisfaction, time is never enough. As my friends say (they run a woodworking company), here in Italy you can see plumbers, electricians, home builders, drive a Ferrari, but we never saw a woodworker in a luxury car...
Nested benches are amazing for small shop too. It allowed me to finally fit a tablesaw in my tiny shop without losing the main workbench. Space is precious regardless of you square meters available, we always grow to fill what we have :)
Started a new job today. My ex boss struggled with the concept of " work smarter, not harder". While he still agreed with me, but how he scares the other guys, as an older worker, I see that if the others are busting their balls, he's happy, no matter if they rush or mess up and have to do it more than once, resulting in their frustrations, and plenty of used band aids. It seems we can't fix stupid
Of all your tools, I’m most jealous of your table saw set up. Very nice. Great build!
I’m so thoroughly impressed with your stunning workbenches 3 in 1 style and ik I could definitely use this concept as I’m in a tiny one car garage. This is why I love when talented woodworkers like yourself stop the beautiful works of art and devote some personal self care time because what your brains design far surpasses anything I’d create on my own. Any more of these and I’d be so grateful and thrilled to watch. Right now my garage looks like a hoarders house but with tools and it’s because I’m so damn indecisive about what I want and in some ways I’m ok with that. Lumber, plywood and mdf all cost a lot and I’d rather know for sure what I’m building and how I can utilize it to the fullest potential and this build is definitely one that’d be cherished and used long term. Mine would have to be scaled down, I need to come up with a different plans as I can’t imagine I’d be using sheets like yourself but I like the assembly, router table idea. I’d also like a dedicated place to sand that sucks the sawdust (can’t think of the name of course) and also store vacuum and dust deputy so maybe that could either be the second or smallest bench?
Downdraft table is what I think it's called. I narrowed my focus down to smaller projects because after wrestling with large sheet goods, I always feel sore and it was not the safest operation to run a sheet of 3/4" ply through my tablesaw by myself. I want to focus on box-making, picture frames or anything else that isn't going to be difficult to heft around a one-man shop. As I get older, this will be even more important. Hope this helps with your project choices.
I have deer paths, not aisles, through my overcluttered shop.
Outstanding! I love that this not only helps solve shop infrastructure and create functionality for you, but that you also created something that once again is great to look at. So enjoy your content sir!
Thanks for showing us your process here. Loved your fix for the sagging top! My dad always taught me that when you did a project for someone, you did it as if it were for yourself. He'd say "they might not know there's a problem, but you'll know." The funny thing was that he didn't apply the same advice when it actually WAS for himself. It showed me that we so often give the best of ourselves to others. And it taught me that it's OK now and then to give the best of yourself to yourself. I make pens, so when I occasionally make one for myself, I apply the same standards as I would if it were for a customer. The difference is that I do this as a hobby, and what I sell just funds my next project. I don't have to worry about paying a mortgage or putting food on the table with what I make. All that said, what an awesome balance you've struck with this project.
I love that you set aside time each year to make improvements that will yield constant savings in time and effort, and that you write those ideas down when you have them. It sometimes seems so hard to take the long view. An upgrade that will save you five seconds numerous times a day can seem hard to justify, but in the end, the benefits can far surpass the modest time savings by freeing your brain up for a few minutes more each day.
thanks for the comment
Fascinating to watch this piece of shop furniture take shape. And even see how the extra mile lets it become pretty.
As always. Beautiful work. Love how you configured your vacuum tables into one space. Brilliant! I share the same sentiment on my shop furniture verses client pieces.
Wonderful job!
I think pretty much anyone who’s got a workspace, or workshed in Australia would be envious of this workbench, and would want one. Probably one of your most popular projects. Functionality.
I speack spanish, sorry. Es fascinante verte trabajar. Increible la precisión, la dedicación, para mi, toda una enseñanza.
You are so good! Congratulations
Now there's a smart solution. I'm loving the multi-use nature of this bench. Bravo, a great project.
Mechanical engineer here, to help you with the sagging but without being able to get a thicker "table top". You could add a metal sheet (like 1/16'' thick) under the table BUT, for this to work, the underside needs, to be fliped over an even surface (or even pre-bent in the other direction) first. Then you need to find a glue that will laminate the metal sheet to the wood (over the underside of the table), screws and nails alone will do so much because the metal sheet needs to act as "part" of the whole assembly (not just screwed over). The idea is that steel needs a lot more pressure to stretch and since it's glued to the underside of the table (and only if well laminated), the metal sheet will act as a tension cable stiffening the whole table top. Just some tip from a fellow subscriber and fan of your work! awesome build I love your channel!!
Hi there!! You’re the most IMPRESSIVE and AMAZING woodworker I’ve ever seen. Everything you create are pieces of art. I’ve watched all your videos some more than once. They’re so calming and educational at the same time. Take care, sir and I look forward to seeing your GREATEST most EXCELLENT pieces yet!!
Thank you
I sure wish I could do that rushed, half-hearted quality 😆 Dang that is a beautiful solution, great work and thanks for taking us on the journey.
Thanks for watching
Awesome! I'm getting ready to redo some workbenches in my shop, glad I watched this first! Such a great idea!
Well done! Looks great, even with all of the oversights. It's functional and does the job, which is what matters in the end. Look forward to your next project!
Just subscribed to your patreon and really looking forward to learning from your expertise! I really like that you found a solution to a problem and are always willing to show that struggle to pass that knowledge onto us. Thank you for this!
Thanks. hope you enjoy Patreon!
Brilliant even with the short cuts! Master class once again. Thank you 👍
Looks great and more importantly solves a problem. Love how it looks like there’s 20 drawers or so.
This channel fills the hole left by Timothy Wilmots Benchworks. Amazing content. Editing, voiceover, b-roll, exposition, BGM all on point!
No one on their deathbed has ever said, “I should have spent more time at work”.
Nice one Nick! Storage is one of those things we can never have enough of. Excellent idea and looks so neat and tidy. Love it!! 👏👏
Thanks Heidi
sooo incredible how fast masters of their trade are.
I just adore it every time and aspire to become so good
Like always, very unique and detailed craftsmanship. Job well done, mate.
I postponed watching this video for almost a week because of the length. To night I decided that I'll watch and fast forward a lot to shorten it. Not only did I not fast forward at all but, I rewind and paused in several places to linger on the amazing work. You are truly a master at your craft. Thank you for allowing us viewers to revel in your passion.
The video is only half an hour long. You must be a very busy guy.
@@douglasr.c.5622 LOL, unfortunately no, just 73 and on heart meds that tend to cause short attention spans, so you keeping my attention for over half an hour says a lot about your skills, both in the shop and in the studio. Thanks for the reply, your a good person.
@@jamesduncan578 I much the same James, 71 and had a heart attack. Wishing you the best, thanks for the response.
Glad you liked it James, Thanks for watching!
This is the first time anyone has responded. It’s nice to watch such a professional. I hope you keep making such amazing stuff. I appreciate your content. Take care.
Thank you Mr. Pedulla for another excellent build! I always take your inspiration with me to my shop.
You quickly took budget materials and made a practical solution with a nice facade. Nothing wrong with that and it looks really good.
Thanks
BRILLIANT, as always! even with less noble materials! I'll have to wait for your videos here, but I'll do it with pleasure :)... I hope you enjoy your time outside of work, which is fundamental and precious... a big hug from the antipodes.
I can't get over the fact that you also edit and do all of your videos that's crazy! If you ever get sick of woodworking, you can always do video editing xD
Hi Padulla , great looking work bench , I made something similar years ago, 1-5 X 3- , I used birch ply, and about 2 months ago I bought a vintage Roubo work bench, £50 , with wood screws vice, one on the front and one the end, I/we look forward to seeing you next project, on your new bench,
Those shelves at the end...leaves me conflicted 😂. Such a wonderful table for pedestrian shelves.
Experimenting /pushing skills on pieces that aren't client critical is a "safe fail space" that is underated as a learning /review experiance.
Over the years as an architect, I have been tasked many times with "damage control" (identifying problem, working out feasible /practical /affordable holistic solutions, implimenting and reviewing... ) a.k.a. fixing so-called experts (who over estimated their abilities) SNAFU's. "Problem solving" is a skill set not many have
Such a good idea! 3 workbenches in one! Well done your videos are just out of this world
Thanks mate
The vid description is brilliant. Covers everything you need to know about the build. Plus more. 😂
Another great piece Nick. Gives me an idea to use on my work spaces. Thank you sir for sharing!
Great to hear
You have a brilliant mind and a better heart. Love your work and the way you choose to live your life.
Thank you
Fabulous design with such versatility🎉😊
Good morning Nick.
Another great video my friend.
Great use of the nothing area in your workshop and the extra work space will improve your workflow.
I'm still using my outfeed table for videoing and workspace.
You may have inspired me to change it up!
Take care
James
Thanks James
"And having an expensive panel saw helps!" LOL! Your logo is a nice touch! Can't afford to be on Patreon but your work is an inspiration!
Thank you
I love the way you say this is not completely up to standard. Really? It's a masterpiece. I'm amazed at the quality and quantity of work you turn out in the stated time-frame. Genius!
For surfaces like glue tables or vacuum bag tables that are not used every day, I've thought about creating a torsion box that sits on top of another work bench that can be hooked to cables and raised up to the ceiling to keep it out of the way while glue is drying.
Awesome work! To me, a thing that makes every workbench I made so much nicer to work on has been "leave room for your toes" this makes a world of difference in my book
Very impressive and functional creation. Thank you so much for sharing.
Nicely done. Always a pleasure to see a new video from you
Thank you
I like your videos and love the choice of the music!
Hi, I have now watched the video, It still looks good, and serves for your purpose, but this is the reason why I used 1 inch thick plywood, Just over 6 inch wide strips, I then glued them together, and then I planed and thickness the two edges, I to work by my self, but making this table/workbench it took 4 of us to assemble, look forward to seeing your next project,
Well done.
Thanks for the honesty
All your stuff is amazing man. I can only aspire to create (both projects and videos) as top-notch as yours. Keep doing what you’re doing buddy.
Thank you
Outstanding craftsman in your work, wow next level work!👍🏼
That Tasmanian oak certainly has lovely straight grain. Such a fine project. I'll have to remember that wood-in-tension idea for counteracting sag (or potential sag).
This channel is incredible, so glad youtube recommended this video!
Thank you
There is no money or project more important than the family. Never cancel. Make another time to finish the builds. It's just wood or dust panels.... In your case. XD
It isn't always the level of importance though. Sometimes it makes sense to cancel. Saying never is the wrong attitude. It's about the end result. If canceling is going to effect your memories and relationships negatively then don't if it just means you don't do something you had planned but doing the work sets you up for other memories and opportunities for your family, then it is worth canceling.
everything you do is next level good .. even when your scrambling its just superior!
Thanks
Sensational use of space!
I'm new here and this is the first video I have seen, I absolutely love the faux engineering drawing cabinet idea and great execution. From what I see, you don't need to justify your standard so much, customer work is 100%, that always a given but shop work cost you money in time and materials. Over engineering gives the same results but costs more. For what you need them benches to do they are absolutely fantastic and I would be more than happy to pay good money for them. I jealous of what you can do fella. Keep it up. Love from the UK 🤙
It is a beautiful piece. I don't think I would have picked that color but it would have been me that would be missing out. Absolutely love it
Only you can make even a MDF table look good like this! 👌
Well that explains why H&G is sold out of school locker handles!
Amazing work as always and very creative use of stacked tables to increase your available surface area
I was surprised when you only allotted yourself 3-8-hour workdays to complete this. Most self-employed people I've known, myself included, worked until the job is done. Finding that balance is definitely a challenge. It is possible that your perfectionism would paralyze many, if not most, people, but you have found a path through it, and it works. Nice job. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Impressive work ethic here. Being a serious hobbiest photographer/videographer myself, I really appreciate the effort spent on setting up those shots and the subsequent editing. I am about to launch my own woodworking business and am paying attention to your comments about running a business. I'm beginning to unsubscribe from many popular woodworking channels as they slowly run out of ideas and have become nothing but infomercials. Mostly watching Blacktail Studio now. I just subscribed to your channel. I don't mind if you are being sent free stuff, but thanks for telling us when that happened rather than being coy about it or omitting that info altogether, which is deceptive and tends to be a turn off. Great video, Mister. Thanks.
Thank you
Clever, very clever. I thought the tables would be out in the open and thought that in between uses it would get covered in dust. This design doesn't effect the open space that you already had, keeps the bags and machines dust free, and uses a corner of the shop that just sat empty. I really like the black steel shelving unit you put on top. I can invision overstock there or if you buy items in bulk, the overflow can go there.
I'm very jealous, ;>) of the new panelsaw/tablesaw. It's a beauty! By the way, great choice of color for the false fronts !
Thank you
I have to admit, when I saw you were working with MDF, I had my doubts. You managed to make the whole bench assembly align with each other with precision so my hats off to you. I usually despise MDF too, but you may have shown me a way to make it work.
When I saw he was making the torsion box sides/streachers out of MDF, I figured he was going to get some sag. MDF just creeps too much. Its wven worse where I live because of the humidity. 3/4 inch Plywood would have worked really well for the torsion box sides/streachers.
@@relativisticvel you’re right. Even shorter spans have even sagged for me and I live in a pretty arid environment. I really just don’t like stuff but cheap sure is enticing
You say it is not your best work and I see a beautiful, functional piece.
Thank you
There are only a few channels that I can instantly hit the like button. This is the first one. Thank you for the inspirational and educational content.
Thank you
Beautiful work, well designed (but for the dip), well processed, conscientiously assembled. I'd give that a hearty "well done."
I'd have given the raw wood a wipe with Waterlox Satin. (my favorite clearcoat) Using the outer piece of the lasercut board was genius to hold the lettering in the proper spacing. I'll have to check out more of your work.
Thanks
This was a really great idea for your space . Paining the mdf also added a professional look to the design as well as adding the handles which cost a lot .great job.
Your solution to the sagging top by using the pre-stressed strip along the front was extremely clever. All in all, your observation about your workbenches not being to your usual quality speaks less to their build quality and more toward your standard of workmanship.
Thank you
This is great, glad I ran across it or the CZcams algorithm served it up. Either way all together great vid.
Nice build mate
Good to see tradies putting love and thought into there work environment to make work life easier
congrats on the growth of the channel, well deserved
Thanks
I think that was a brilliant idea using the wood to spring up the dip in the middle of the large table. I’m curious how well it will hold up over time. Brilliant idea, awesome build. Thanks for sharing.
your shop furniture is nicer than my home furniture hahaha. This was very enjoyable to watch, you are truly a master of your craft. You've got a new subscriber
Nice to see someone wearing a proper facemask and with good extraction. Many CZcamsrs seem oblivious to the fact that sawdust from many types of wood is carcinogenic.
Great work, and very innovative.
Always doing it right Man... Great job!
Thank you
Very nice. I can tell this will save you a bunch of setup and teardown time. And for 3 days of work and just mostly MDF, it'll pay itself off quickly.
Seen you made crazy beautiful furniture piece for clients and can only dreamt to have half of your skill and artistic carpentry. Can understand completely when you build tool to build better product, and better product by better tool
As always, a pleasure to watch.
Oh it IS an altendorf! The first table saws I ever used were those and although I have a locally made vintage table saw that I love dropping 20k on a german panel saw like yours is bucket list for sure. Beautiful tools. Even when well used in commercial shops. No review necessary, it only amounts to bragging about owning the very best. :-)
After a cursory look they are more like $40K in Aus dollars, which is about $27K US. I did find a couple for $11K second hand. You have to have a big shop though for one of those monsters (I wish).
@@bluewren65 there are a number of other similarly epic euro brands that are a bit more reasonably priced. But used is fine if yhe sliding table aspect is mint.
An interesting concept for storage management. Reminds me of the wooden Russian dolls. You take the top half off the biggest doll and there is another and another. Like you I hate MDF. However it is useful for some shop projects. You did surprise me with that metal shelving unit you put on top. I suppose you will either put shelves or more closed cabinets at some point. I have learned you need closed cabinets in a workshop to keep the mess out and the contents protected.
I feel like Tasmanian Oak is so underrated. It has beautiful grain and contrast and looks amazing with most other species. 👌
agreed
Do You have any Kids, Nieces or Nephews that You plan on teaching or leaving this Craft too? You don't have to answer, but this is a apex pinnacle of a Shop full of knowledge and extremely beautiful Pieces, We all wish to achieve-, so I say thank You for sharing. I am having storage and organizational issues in my separate Building of a Shop as well. I recently got into Woodworking and Craftmanship (in my 40's!!!) and am 100% self taught; with the help of CZcams University and watching Your videos helps expand the knowledge that I can one Day pass to My Children or Grandchildren--hopefully--so thank You for the experience Mr. Pedulla!!!!
Wow...I was just thinking about the work bench today.......then CZcams shot me this video! tHank you ....and tHanks to the com mentors !
awesome
What a really great idea, 3 tables in one; incorporating storage. Thanks for sharing your craft with us.
can wait for the next one !!🎉🎉 keep it up , stay on top !!!
Thanks
Sick work. Most impressive
From my little experience, mdf pannel have tendency to bend more easily than plywood, but I was surprised even with the torsion box, good to know.
nice.. makes me want to build some storage for myself
Beautiful work 👍
Cheers from the NSW Southern Highlands
Thank you
