His workbench tutorial is excellent, but for me, an absolute noob, it was still daunting to build a workbench as the very first project. What I ended up is building the Paul seller's Trestle [1] as my Hello World project, and it has been super handy. Even after that, I still think his workbench is too much work for me, and I eventually decided to build Christopher Schwarz's knockdown workbench [2].
That is where I first started out. Watching his videos helped build my first workbench, from there I found Wandel and others. I still go to Paul for tips and tricks.

Honestly, if you're interested in woodworking, Paul Seller's original 'workbench' video set is how to get started.
Cheap materials, can be done with cheap tools, and he's pretty straight forward about what's important to worry about and what isn't.
You'll learn whether or not woodworking is for you, and you'll have a handy workbench.
