About the build
A smarter shop starts with a better plan
This is a digital download (PDF) of the complete plans for what I call the "ultimate workbench." This essential piece of shop furniture for any small/compact workshop will surely add functionality and efficiency to your space. The plans are 70+ pages long and provide full-color, step by step instructions to build a complete workbench with the following features:
- Huge 4'x8' work surface with T-Track
- Integrated dust collection system (with automatic switch)
- Integrated power outlets for easy access while working
- Hardware organization to house bin organizers for hardware and small parts
- Tool storage drawers
- Locking swivel casters for mobility
These plans are broken down by "sub-process" so that this workbench can be tackled in bite-sized pieces. I detailed the construction of my ultimate workbench on my YouTube channel "Shop Nation"

FAQ
Good questions before you build
Is this a physical product?
No. This is a digital download of the build plans, not a finished piece of furniture or a kit of parts. Nothing ships to you, and you source the lumber and hardware yourself.
How do I get my plans after I buy?
Right after checkout you'll get an email with your download link. Check your spam or promotions folder if it doesn't show up within a few minutes.
Can I print the plans?
Yes. The plans are a standard PDF, so you can print them at home or at a print shop, or just keep them open on a phone, tablet or laptop while you work.
What skill level do I need?
The plans are written to be approachable. If you're comfortable with common power tools and take your time, you can follow along one step after another.
Is there a build video to follow?
Most Shop Nation projects are featured on the Shop Nation YouTube channel, so you can watch the build come together as a companion to the plans.
