How to Build an EASY DIY Mobile Workbench with Drawers!

Hey friends, let’s build a mobile workbench with drawers and a flip open top! This video was sponsored by MakeByMe. Check out MakeByMe and get started creating your next DIY project with it here: I built this workbench to house a new CNC (eventually), but I really didn’t want to put it on the top because that’s valuable workspace. So I decided to design this bench with a large open shelf for the CNC, but I made the top “flip open-able“ so that I can easily access the machine from all sides as needed. Of course, the flip top may not be a feature you want, so you can certainly skip that extra step at the end and just make your top stationary. Either way, this is a versatile workbench with 4 good sized drawers and open shelving for wood, tools, equipment, etc. Check out the plans on MakeByMe here: Check out more project details and additional tips here: Follow Woodshop Diaries On: Website: TikTok: @woodshopdiaries?
