Everyone needs a sturdy workbench to make their creations on.In this video, we show you how to make a DIY workbench to build your DIY projects on. Whether you build robotics, IoT, automation, or any other kind of hardware project, a sturdy workbench is an essential part of many makers' and builders' equipment. While this project is a little different than most projects you may find on our channel we thought, why not follow the spirit of makers and builders, and put together our own workbench from scratch?

Building a sturdy workbench definitely requires a different set of skills than your usual electronics and software projects; skills which we do not claim to be experts at (like welding). But if you want to roll up your sleeves and test your abilities at something a little different, check out our video below to see how we did it; because if we can do it, so can you.

It's especially important during this project to use the proper safety equipment and follow good safety practices. Welding and cutting metal can create a lot of fumes, particulates, and heat, so make sure to wear the proper breathing masks, gloves, sturdy shoes, and safety goggles, and make sure your work area is well ventilated. It's not a bad idea to keep a fire extinguisher nearby too.
