Fold-Flat Workbench

Hey, thats sweet. I’m putting that on my to do list. (the short one)
Thanks for posting

Good job on the folding table. It’ll be very handy and space saver as well. I’ve seen a few of these built recently. I might build one too – at least I’ll add it on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful… and very functional!

I wanted to build this too. how do you like it. It looks sturdy.

It is just like the one I built and posted. Great job! I think yours looks more finished.

I ended up getting smaller casters that lock and they work well. I will say that mine is very sturdy. I ended up using it to stand on to hang Christmas lights.

I think my favorite thing about this is that I have an instant solid bench where ever I want. Just wheel this out and set up.

Great job and great post!

Nice! What finish did you use for the MDF top?

antknee3471 I used some left over Danish oil and clear gloss polyurethane.

Pdl it is strong like bull when you get the leveling pads all set up and caster locks on!

One thing I don’t like about this table is the fact there is no one side you can mount a vise to due to the set up of the legs.I am thinking of articulating one leg with a hinge and a locking pin to make room for a vise.

Did you find a mistake in the plans? The latest issue of the magazine has corrections.

great project. I work in the garage and I have to seriously think about making this project myself as it is a space saver I can see that.

dell I did thanks.

Great job looks really nice and very useful.

I’m building this right now, and the locking lever on my swivel casters bound up on the base plate – so I routed out a radius to give them some room. I don’t think it will affect the strength significantly. This thing’s a monster!

dell or Chipy, can you point out the mistake in the plans? I have the issue 207 but have seen the mistake corrected in a subsequent issue. Thanks
