Wouldn't it be great to be able to roll your workbench out onto your workshop floor whenever you need to use it? Then, effortlessly roll it off to the side when you're finished?

Wouldn't it be great to have your router always available when you need it without having to get it out of a storage space?

And how about clamping? Even the best woodworking vices have limits on their ability to clamp really large work pieces.

And finally, wouldn't it be great to have plenty of drawer space and more cabinet space?

Well, you can have it all with this workbench and the plans are FREE! All I ask in return is that you purchase the supplies and tools you need from the affiliate ads on this website an/or the ads in the PDF plans file. All of my advertisers are established companies with competitive prices and excellent customer service track records.

  • The large casters make it easy to roll out onto the floor when you need it and roll it back to the side when you're finished for the day.

  • The built in router table literally provides a "router on demand". Simply raise the router to the working position when you need it and lower it below the work surface when you're finished with it. In the lowered position, the plate is simply part of the workbench top.
    Of course, if you prefer not to have the router table built in, the workbench is even easier to build without it.

  • Possibly even better than the built in router table is the unique clamping system. The layout of T-Track on the top and along the sides enables you to clamp very small or very large work pieces. You can actually clamp a work piece that is larger than the top of the workbench! It's great for holding workpieces for sanding , jig sawing, or even gluing up smaller boards to make a larger one.

  • The T-Track arrangement not only provides a great clamping system, You use it to hold a work light or magnifying glass too.

  • The second strip of T-Track on the left side permits clamping large work pieces in a vertical position. Occasionally, we all find ourselves needing a way to hold a large work piece in a vertical position. A good example would be attaching a mailbox to a post. This T-track arrangement is like having a helper to hold your workpieces in exactly the position you need them.

  • Even better, there is no wasted space with this workbench. You'll have seven spacious drawers, cabinet space in the middle and two large router bit trays. (The 6" deep router bit trays are in front of the built in router table and have drawer fronts so they look like the other drawers.)

  • And finally, the design adds an attractive touch to your work shop or garage. You will probably have people asking if you're building a piece of furniture when they see it taking shape.

The Garage Workbench Plans are a 48 page detailed plan in a 600 KB PDF file. The plans come complete with a materials list, easy to follow parts drawings, and instructions. Detailed drawings and instructions for the clamping system are also included.

Laserkerf

Ever miss the mark with your miter saw? Wouldn't it be great to know exactly where your saw is going to make the cut before you make the cut?
The Laserkerf projects a super fine laser beam precisely in the center of the kerf. A beam so accurate, you can literally split your pencil mark. You will get the same accuracy regardless of which side of the cut your mark is on.
