Can Your Workbench Do This?

Why not lock in the top first instead of holding it??

I’ve seen a couple of designs like this and love them. One thing i have incorporated into my design is an additional cross brace. Everyone uses a single cross brace but by adding a second brace, I can put a piece of plywood on the bottom as temporary storage for tools/small parts that I’m working with during my projects and not clutter up the top of the table.

Pretty awesome dude. I'd probably add 2 vertical 2x4 under the support wall beam just in case. Great job!

You made that look easy, but I still saw how much control, and muscle it took to lift that table, steady it, and hold it carefully. That sucker is heavy!

I need a dining room table I can do that with. Awesome!

One suggestion to reduce the wobbles common on this type of fold-up bench with an unsecured cross brace is to put a threaded insert into each end of the cross brace and a hole in the bottom leg brace that lined up with the insert so that a bolt with a washer will go through the leg brace and screw into the insert. A knob on the end of the bolt would make it easy to tighten by hand.

As suggested in another comment, add a second cross brace and lay a piece of plywood over the cross braces will you get some temporary shelf space is a great idea. Plus a second cross piece with the same threaded insert in the ends of the cross brace and bolts through the leg brace would lock the base together so firmly there would be little or no wrack to the workbench.

The negative is that it would add another minute to set up and take down times.

LOVE THIS! AWESOME IDEA! Making them fold and even roll is great because then they can be stacked easy! Film crews that have to recycle wood should do this and make tables and workbenches that can be reused out of the construction wood!

Wonderful! A kitchen table would be great like this too if one had limited space.

Fantastic idea for the man that has to store his tools away because he doesn’t always have a project to work on and is either working in a small workshop or his garage, (Like me).

[swiftraider]

This is really cool. you don't happen to have a step by step video building this do you? this would be a cool weekend to weekend project.

Pretty optimistic thinking my workbench would ever be empty, but that might work if there was a window behind it and a skip outside.
