Folds up easily when not in use, freeing up valuable floor space in your small shop or garage.

- Solid and Sturdy Construction
A robust tabletop and thick 3" x 3½" legs provide reliable strength and stability for heavy-duty projects.
- Retractable Casters for Mobility
Move the bench when you need to — then retract the wheels to plant the bench firmly on the ground for wobble-free work.

Designed for builders of all skill levels using minimal power tools, with step-by-step video guidance — no existing workbench required.

Had some problems with the planes but I think it was caused because I'm new to woodworking
I am just a beginner and I work in a garage that has to park 2 cars. The workbench is perfect for my situation. I tried to customize a few areas and found that I should have just followed the instructions.
While I am still in the process of constructing my first project. Of which the plans and the video are top notch. The way the Thomas custom woodworks is operated is the best. If you have a question his response time is exceptional. If you plan to order one of his plans “do it” you won’t be sorry.
The plans and video are great. Easy and straightforward to follow. Thorough and complete. The video quality is great too. Look forward to future plans.
