Product Description
Small shops eat space fast, and these modular workbenches are built to give it back. Latch two together and you get an 8' x 2' long table or fold them into a 4' x 4' assembly table — or run them separated to work two spaces at once. Built from 2x4 framing for a rock-solid base, the design pairs with the rest of the Modular Shop System. An automatic calculator custom-fits the build to your shop — just plug in your numbers and the plans adjust to fit.
Built-In Calculator
Change a number, and the entire cut list, cut plan, and 3D diagrams update to match. No redrawing plans, no manual math.
- Set your own overall width, depth, and height so the bench lines up flush with your other builds
- Input your 2x4 dimensions (standard, milled, or metric) and every cut recalculates to match
Plans Include:
- Digital PDF download — 13 pages that include everything you'll need to build this Modular Workbench
- Automatic calculator to custom-fit overall dimensions and 2x4 sizing to your shop
- Color coded 3D images and cut plan so you know exactly where every piece goes
- Full material list
- All dimensions in inch and millimeter units
- Designed to suit all experience levels, and pairs with the rest of the Modular Shop System for larger combined builds
3D Model Available
- Make modifications to the design easily
- Get the 3D model in Autodesk Fusion (.f3d), Sketchup (.skp), and Autodesk Inventor (.ipt/.iam)
- Bundle and save by getting the models and plans at the same time!

The plans are easy to follow although I find that they lack in some important detail in comparison to the video. In the video, screw spacing is mentioned as critical when assembling the frame but not noted in the plans. Also, the latching hardware placement is not noted in the plans.
I thought these plans were fabulous! The bench is super strong. I modified it to serve as an outfeed table for my Unisaw - added a 2" overhang on one side so it would clear the Unigard frame and bracket, and an opening in the frame to accommodate the dust collection. I chamfered the edges on the sides and back about 1/8" and the edge at the tablesaw much more. I am getting ready to add a folding wing on the other long side with removable cleats that can hold a sheet of plywood for transport around the shop and then by raising the wing I can get it horizontal and slide it onto the saw or other surface without breaking my back! and I am a new Woodworker and this is my first project! I made a few mistakes but I learned a ton! Thanks Zack!
I really liked. The versatility so much I built 4 of them. What really helped was using theptogram you included with the lift table. Knowing the actual size of the lumber helped me plane wood to plan dimensions. Hope you Wii add this program to all your builds
Awesome build. The height match is a bit trickier than I expected. But it’s worth the effort.
The modular work bench worked out great. Build was easy to follow, well illustrated and in order. I've already moved on to my next project.
