DIY FOLDING WALL MOUNTED WORKBENCH

How to build a FOLD-UP workbench / table for woodworking and DIY projects out of 2x4s and plywood. I wanted a space-saving workbench that could store on the wall when it's not in use. This TRANSFORMING work bench is going to be a big upgrade from sawhorses and plywood!

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

This was just the video I was looking for. A lot more detailed than most of the others I’ve seen. Thank you!

New to woodworking and was able to follow the instructions in the video the only 2 things I needed to figure out myself was the depth of the holes so my screws would not go through the 3/4 plywood top and the leg cross beams (they are 30" just like the other 3 used in the table) . Grabbed my wood from Home depo and it was so wet that water dripped out each time I used a screw..also. this is not a one day build..i did not give the legs time to dry and the wood glue dripped out..next time I know I need to let it actually dry first. Had a ton of fun and holy hell this thing is heavy..i hope its just the 100 gallons of water and it will dry and lighten up. Thanks for the video!

You could add a piece on the bottom of the table that swings at 90 degrees to the leg assembly and locks it in place. It could be folded underneath the stretcher of the legs

Looks good! I notice many ppl asking for the plans. I wouldn’t mind paying for them but didn’t see anything on the website. I guess I’ll go thru the video and take notes.

I think it definitely still needs a stretcher across to keep lega from accidently sliding in. Just add a removable one that can be stored above easily.

Thinking about doing this but swapping out the plywood top for butcher block to make a folding kitchen island!

[bonacci]

I would definitely add a stretcher. Watch the right legs on the "wiggle test" at 5:35, they start creeping inwards. Seems worth it so the table doesn't come unexpectedly come crashing down in the middle of a project.

Great video! I thought about doing something like this myself but hanging it with a french cleat so the table top was facing outwards. Then putting a design on the table top so it looks like art when hung and a cool table top when it come off the wall.

I made one of those, put casters on it. Best work bench ever. Roll it outside in the sun. I have a removable stretcher on the bottom.

Just started getting into DIY furniture. Really glad I found this channel and your website.

I've been wondering on how am going to make an exterior work bench & You've just me big time.... Thanks for this. 👊👊👊

[Normal]

Love it. I'm going to fold a 4 foot bench, at 32 inch height. I'll have to offset the Jeff's though.

[keithstone]

I would really like plans for this work bench please and thank you

[pteddie]

It looks good, Mike. It's going to be fun watching you complete the shop furniture for your new space. Thanks for this video.

[JTWoodworks]

Super neat idea! It would be cool to paint to bottom white so it blends in with your walls and give a clean look

[jameschristian]

QUICK, EASY AND SIMPLE. Great job man ..love it..

[FullRythym]

I kept asking myself why your shop furniture keeps disappearing after you build it and was going to type up a comment, but you answered my question at the very end of the video!

[barrystewart]

Haven't even watched it yet but know its a winner, cheers.

[Ashe_Fenrir]

I wonder if I could use that cleat at the back of it to hold it stable enough to plane wood on it - this is definitely going on the list!

[ArayahIru]

The rounded corners for folding the legs.

Amazing work and I can't wait to build one as I have to update my current work bench
