Hey friends! Lately I've gotten lots of requests for a small space workbench. After building and sharing my recent one here: https://www.woodshopdiaries.com/easy-... many of you mentioned that while you loved the design, you just didn't have the space for it.

So, I thought it would be fun to share a "mini workbench" design that may have a small footprint, but still packs a ton of storage.

These Kreg Universal Workbench frames come in a variety of sizes, so you can apply this same concept (with slightly different dimensions) to customize any size frame you'd like.

Check out the project details and FREE building plans here: https://www.woodshopdiaries.com/diy-w...

As a note, this video was NOT sponsored by Kreg. I do work with Kreg Tool on a variety of projects, but this particular video isn't one of them. They did send me one of their new hardwood work tops to put on the frame I already had, but didn't require a YouTube video in exchange.

I created this video because I just genuinely thought this was a great little set up and wanted to share some options if you're looking for workbench ideas. Hope you enjoy :)
