This is such a cool and versatile design. I especially like the hidden storage and chalkboard.

How much weight does this table hold?

By renewedhaven, on January 17, 2018
- We haven't done weight testing on it to give you an exact answer, but it is a very sturdy table!

Wish I had room for this!

Where do you find the plans?

By masswood, on February 8, 2018
- @masswood You can find the plans on RYOBI Nation's Dream Workshop website here:https://www.ryobitools.com/nation/dreamworkshop

What is the wall paint color?

By mahlesalvage, on March 2, 2018

Great idea and very useful!

By Jgarcia779, on April 24, 2018

There looks like there’s an error in the cuts. One of the 2x4x8 says cut 2 pieces 40”, but when constructing the frames it later tells you to cut 48”. There are no cuts on the diagram for 48”.

By AshVann80, on February 9, 2020

I'm starting to put together a little workshop for myself and figured this would be a great first project.
Instead of a chalkboard, I'm planning on using magnetic primer and dry erase board paint. Will be my first time using those products.

I'm curious, for the rest of the work bench, what type of finish would anyone suggest, or just leave it raw wood?

By Bbasselgia, on August 3, 2020

Are these plans available in the Spanish language?

I like the whole setup that you have. Just moved into our house and have a 20x20 garage and was wondering how I was going to set it up. Now I know. Thanks.

By Marden64, on January 14, 2018

Could someone post the dimensions of the in/out feed cart and the miter saw cart? Are they both 48" wide?

By potomacbuilder, on May 1, 2018
- Hi @potomacbuilder! The in-feed-out-feed cart dimensions are 36 x 24 x 40. The miter saw cart dimensions are 36 x 24 x 48. Hope this is helpful!
  
  By RYOBI NATION, on May 1, 2018
- thanks. In the video though the in/out cart is definitely wider than the miter saw cart. Optical illusion??
  
  By potomacbuilder, on May 2, 2018
- I noticed that too. Maybe the miter saw cart is 40" wide and the others are 48". Thinking more about it, all the carts could be anything up to 48" in width. Might as well make them 48" wide and have less waste.
  
  I hope to make the carts in the next few weeks! It'll help organize the war zone that is my garage.

Hi, I started building this today. I assembled the outer frame and it is not overly sturdy. I did it with 16 1-1/4" course thread pocket hole screws in the location from the plans. Before I invest too much more time and money I was hoping to find out if this is expected? Will adding the interior pieces and the 1/4" plywood to the back truly make this fully stable? I planned on building the Miter saw cart next, but I would not put a miter saw on this one as it is now.

Thanks

By toolsinga, on July 1, 2018
- Hi! We did not have issues at all with it being sturdy. Did you go ahead and add the other interior pieces? That should make it more sturdy.
  
  By RYOBI NATION, on July 17, 2018

Do I need to build the miter saw cart first in order to get the correct height for the in and out carts? I’m planning on purchasing the Ryobi 12” sliding miter saw to put on the cart.

By Gerryyo, on August 26, 2018
- No, you do not. Click "view project PDF" and it will give step by step instructions for the in-feed out-feed cart.

Amazing! And all for just $25 in lumber! You really did a fantastic job on the design of this table. Excited to see all the beautiful things you'll create with your new Router Table!

By RYOBI Nation, on November 18, 2016

Thank you, DIY Huntress! I like this so much I built it as my first real project. I made my legs 2" longer than yours, but otherwise followed you exactly. Love it!

By concretefish, on November 19, 2016
- Love! I have to check it out! So glad you made it!
  
  By DIY Huntress, on December 12, 2016

Looks Great. Any plans or dimensions available ?

By TP from PA, on November 30, 2016
- Hi! Yes! You can find the full plans here: http://diyhuntress.com/2016/09/diy-rolling-benchtop-tool-stand.html
  
  By DIY Huntress, on December 12, 2016

I so wish I saw this about a year ago. I bought a short plastic table for my router table. Nice project.

By Vctrcss, on January 3, 2017

Super cool project! I'm sure this will be great to use on more than just a router :-) So I'm gonna make one okay maybe two of these! love that you shared this!

By rchampine, on January 12, 2017

Thanks for the plans for a table which is functional, easy to build and cost effective.

I really like the clean look to crate #1. I'll put it on my to do list.

By mrpip, on May 6, 2016

Wow, what a great step by step tutorial! Thanks for sharing this.

By pinktoolgirl, on May 31, 2016

Great idea! Looks like you could easily scale this a little up a bit to make an excellent patio or deck storage bench. Use 2 x 12's and perhaps some added internal support in the middle to prevent any sagging and you'd have a great bench.

By Damocleez, on June 18, 2016

I will be looking to getting involved with this project. I like the natural beauty of wood. I can see just blending in a couple of different woods - yeahhh.

Great project, love the way it looks.

By Her Tool Belt, on May 2, 2016
- Thanks Amy :)
  
  By My Altered State, on May 3, 2016

Very cool idea and execution. I might try making a smaller one with my new Ryobi tool. Eric

By Eric in San Diego, on May 21, 2016

  By My Altered State, on May 22, 2016

I like the simple design.

By Jeff Projects, on May 25, 2016

  By My Altered State, on May 26, 2016

There is nothing better than having a nice organized garage. Every time I allow my garage to become a mess, I wind up finding tools I forgot I had when I do decide to clean it up. The same would apply to paint. You forget you had a green, so you go buy one, only to find the old one later.

By 1froglegs, on May 26, 2016
- You get me then! This has been my struggle. ;)
  
  By My Altered State, on May 27, 2016

What an awesome paint organizer. This would be perfect for our garage.

By Birdiebee, on May 26, 2016
- Thank you. :)
  
  By My Altered State, on May 27, 2016

i do believe there are some awesome ideas on this and this is just another project id like to start

By carol clark, on May 27, 2016

  By My Altered State, on May 27, 2016

SO neat and organized ....and, something I can do myself.

By rusthawk_30902, on May 30, 2016

  By My Altered State, on May 30, 2016

That's a good idea! My husband would really like this. :)

This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

By awitbrodt_114221, on September 1, 2016

Need to do this! Such simple idea :)

By Jfranich, on September 1, 2016

What a great way to show all the cans. Currently mine are all in a shelf but it's hard to see what colors I have, this would eliminate that.

By ginger_rose_126257, on September 2, 2016

Sweet project and love all the details. This could be adapted to SO many storage ideas, thank you!!! ~ Christina in FL

By queenopearls_117536, on September 2, 2016

Very Nice!

By shelvy3000, on September 5, 2016

Wow what a great idea!

By ashleeault, on September 16, 2016

Wish I would have thought of this for my old shop!

By Mikelstinson, on September 16, 2016

I love this project! Such a space saver! I'm always trying to figure out what to do with those cans of spray paint!!

By mirparsons, on September 17, 2016

Very clever!

By superreader, on September 28, 2016

this is a brilliant storage idea i mean its just brilliant i love the design the way they fit in amazing

By carol clark, on September 30, 2016

You inspire me so much! Johnny and I got some projects on our bucket list but first I think garage organization is needed big time over here! Great idea!

By Rogue Engineer, on May 4, 2016

hi there, I received follow up replies but the link to the replies at ryobi nation isn't working and has been checked by windows with comments about the link not responding FYI :)

By woodstock, on May 4, 2016

Hey RYOBI Nation, we apologize for the delay in getting the project plans to you. They are live and ready to download! We can't wait to see you build this awesome cabinet!

By RYOBI Nation, on May 4, 2016
- Thank you!

It is above. Just click on "provided cut list" picture (above) and the Plan pops up. Then "save as", to Your computer files.

By Tug Hercules, on May 4, 2016

Does anyone else have a problem getting back to this forum when replies are posted. I got an ermail from ryobination re a comment by dragonslayerone but cannot get to the page on wither my laptop or pc. Fianlly had to come the circuitous route to get the plans Thanks Rogues

By woodstock, on May 5, 2016
- Hi woodstock, thank you for bringing this to our attention! We are working on fixing this now, thank you!
  
  By RYOBI Nation, on May 6, 2016

I've just done this build. Love it! Where did you get the base cabinets, under the work bench?

By cbosso, on May 28, 2016

How do you think this would turn out if different hinges were used? I'd rather not pay close to $50 a pop for the hinges. Maybe two or three smaller hinges for each one?

By StarkIndustrias, on September 8, 2016

My son gave me a gift card and plans for garage organization. This fit perfectly into our goals. This was SUCH a fun project to do together. I have never tackled something like this before. We had our local Home Depot cut the plywood and peg board for us. We bought a portable Ryobi table saw and a Kreg jig -- so satisfying to learn to use these tools safely and build something so great!

By davenorth, on October 7, 2016

Great project. Whats the measurements of the dado cuts? How far down on the side panels were they cut? It looks like the 2 1/2 framing bracket connects to the side panels ( 12 X 36) above the dado cuts.

By Pgibson821, on December 1, 2016

Hi Rogue great job on the tool storage but what the size of the piano hinge ? x 30"

By fubarsport, on February 3, 2017
- 30 inch hinge. Cut to 28.
  
  By Jeff Homan, on February 20, 2017

I am using the best finished plywood. Real smooth looking..cut all materials yesterday and will do the Dado cuts (will be using a router for this job). Peg board at home depot was 3/16 so I will have to make slight adjustments to certain areas. Pictures will follow no later than tomorrow I hope.

By Jeff Homan, on February 20, 2017

Love this

By Lookout, on July 11, 2017

Can't seem to download the plans. Click on the link but nothing happens?

By Young Al, on July 18, 2017

Nicely done

By jbironworker, on December 12, 2017

I started putting this together and noticed that the cut list calls for 5 7/8" wide dividers but with a 1/4"x1/4" dado the plants call for they actually need to be 6 1/4" wide.

By D_Weasel, on June 4, 2018

I built this and it turned out great. I left out the two most central dividers to give myself a wider space where I keep all my manuals. Thanks!

By dfoliver, on September 18, 2018

I am unable to download the plans. It says that they can not be found.

By Tbarton601, on May 6, 2019

This project was a fun build! Thank you for sharing your plans.

By mwierzbicki, on November 7, 2019

Hi awesome project, I was seeking clarity in regards to materials -
- QTY 2 - 1 X 6 X 8'
Is this ply also or pine? And is it 6 inch by 8 feet?

Thank you David
By user_stewart_1682061, on December 7, 2020

Could some plywood be added to hide the pegboards? I have to compromise with the wife because she thinks the tools showing on the pegboards looks cluttered. We currently use our garage part gym and part woodworking/project station so we want to make it look as pleasing to the eye as possible. Although I like the look of the pegboards showing I do have to work with the wife.

By user_maldonado_1768146, on April 11, 2021

@Rogue Engineer what type of plywood was used for this build? thanks.
