DIY Fold Down Workbench 

Solid project and video, nicely done!

Thanks! I have limited garage space and need a work bench. I'm new to wood working and hope to make this my first project.

I am delighted with his way of working, simple, practical, easy, fast. It is incredible of all the tools that you Americans have. I love you Miss April, continue with these videos that are a source of inspiration for many.

April, I recently finished my folding workbench and I added a second stop block. It saves do much space in the garage and has gotten it's use. I purchased a drill press and the jaw horse watching your videos. Thx, and you ROCK!

Love this bench, I’m doing mine next week on my day off, thanks for the step by step tutorial. ❤️❤️

I wish you were my neighbor... (I actually need a folding work surface like that). You have great energy.

I really enjoy the simplicity of this build yet no lack of quality. You are mine and my daughters favorite woodworker.

Giirl you rock! I love how you have practical, common sense techniques in your work.

April excellent project ..simple and practical......Congratulations

Great project April, I really like the design. Works great in the shop or in a small house or apartment.

I built your rolling lumber cart, and have been following your channel. You have great ideas, and are very articulate when explaining things to those that may not be as talented as you are. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your great videos.

Built this on a Saturday afternoon. What a great space-saving idea! Love watching all your videos for projects to tackle.

Looks great Mrs. April, I've been arguing with my son ( typical 17 y/o ) over the usefulness of a fold down workbench. I had him watch this and he finally agrees with me. Simple yet effective.

This is going to be my first project in my new Lockdown Shed!

I love that grin you get when plan comes together. I need this in my shop.

I love this fold down work bench. I'm going to make one in my camper as a dining table in my camper. Thank you for being so helpful. You are a unique person, not trying to climb to the top on the back of others but by lifting others up with you to create a money flow which in return will come back to you eventually. Thank you and keep up the great ideas!

Very nice presentation. Wonderful idea. You make it look so easy

Great video April loved the look of your first fold down bench so nice to see it all explained. These look really handy for using in small workshops like mine. Dressed trendy for woodworking too, about time I got one of them Diresta hats. Keep up the great vids.

Finally! I have watched so many vids looking for a truly simple fold down table and this is it! Thank you so much!

I am definitely putting one of these in my shed. Tank you April for always keeping it simple.

I am not a carpenter, but I am a keen woodworking hobbyist and "Do it your self'er," and I have to tell you that you certainly did a great job there. You made it look so simple, (and I guess it is really,) but a beautiful well thought out job nevertheless. I guess a lot of people will be copying your idea. Thanks for sharing it with us. Ed

Great Job, I made something like this for my 3 daughters to use for homework and whatever after the homework was done. My set up was about 6' that way each one had room to work or play, the legs were hinged and cut to fit where the wall and floor met. Brought back memories, you did a great job on the table & video, SEMPER FI

I like the simplicity and practicality of your design. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this! Between the rounded leg pivots and the stop bar, this is a way better design than the others I've been finding. Definitely basing my design off this template!

Excellent shop table and build video. I'm glad your feeling better and back in the shop. Regards, Bob

awesome! Looks great.. thanks for the shout out.

Just love the simplicity of that design with the stop and piano hinge. I got to build one!

Wow! What a simple yet effective design and great workmanship as well. Watched so many videos on youtube and this one was simply the best, great work!

Pretty sweet. I think I'm going to use this as part of my outfeed table for my table saw, thanks...

Just wanted to let you know my nephew and I just built a very large one for my home business! 68"x42" to be exact. I had to do a few things different to make it work out right, but for the most part I used your way of building it. My wife and I both sat on it and held us. I being 6'4" at 290lbs. and her being around 100lbs at 5'6" That will hold anything I ever need to put on it!

EXACTLY what I needed. You make things look so easy, but this one actually was easy. THANKS

I was looking for more women who build stuff from scratch, when I found your channel! I shared it on to my Facebook page. Thank you for providing quality content.

That was very cool. Your videos are informative and easy to understand.

1. Awesome Diresta hat! 2. Recently heard about you from the Drunken Woodworker and instantly binge watched your videos. Nothing is cooler than a woman with power tools!

This is perfect for my cargo trailer. Thank you. I've watched a few other vids and this one is the best.

Everything is so easy for you April,bravo !

Great video! Very simple design yet very effective. Thanks for sharing! BTW, I like you video creating style. Straight to the point and very informative.

cool and simple project, this could also be standing-laptop fold-able desk!

I'm losing my shop as I downsize for retirement. Been trying to figure out how to make my garage shareable with my tools. This video has given me many new ideas. I'm sure coming up with a way to lock the legs in place will be easy with the start you have given me. Thanks for this video. I'll be watching others. Glad I found you.

Very cool. That is one of the two things every garage needs. A fold-down table and utility sink.Thanks for the instructions.

Great project April, I love fold-down tables, perfect for the shop - or in a small kitchen too! :)

Very handy, even to put into a bedroom where you can save floor space when u don't need the desk any more

Great project. Very well demonstrated and easy to understand. I am redoing my workshop and this is going to be part of it. Brains and Beauty....what a combo.

Exactly the type of thing I’ve been thinking in my head. Just needed a visual to show my husband. Great video!

April, that is an outstanding idea. Love your video's.

Perfect for my wife's planting needs

I absolutely love this - love the idea of being able to move it if you want to change up the layout of the shop.

nice job, April. very practical and lots of common sense. thank you for making my life easier with wood works. 😊

that is so GREAT

I was just telling myself I needed a workbench for my garage but I still want to park the cars in there too. Then "poof," RU-vid gives me this vid as suggested. Looks like I've got some work for next weekend!

You are so good at the concept of Adapt & Overcome.

This girl is in another level! Excellent work girl!

Nice bench - I liked that you left a clamping space around the perimeter - I can't think how people cope with a workbench that you can't clamp to

Great video. I am now a new subscriber. .

Very helpful. I just finished mine today. Your video helped me avoid some things that would have otherwise presented some complications. Much appreciated.

Great tutorial. Thanks April! Yours is the most straightforward and simplest design. I plan on doing this myself, but modified to be a material support for my miter saw.(long and narrow)

wow, you just make it look so easy ! I also wish you were my neighbor :-)

Smart and Beautiful

To answer an obvious question with a equally obvious answer, because you put it there! love your fold down bench.

I like your old shop as it has character. I like your new TV show too. Nice of you to let Tim and Richard hang out ... great project. Works good for grandkids rooms as well.

My goodness April, you are quite the accomplished woodworker..You know more about this than a lot of manly weekend warriors I know do! Keep it up girl...take no prisoners...

Oh man. I thought for a second there at the end you were going to put the workbench down and do a Matthais Wandel strength test. Looks great April!

Love to see a lady that can handle herself around the shop...bravo

I just finished building this to use as an extra workbench for my painting and frame making. Directions are great, worth getting. Thank you for putting this on here!!! A very sturdy space saver!!

Great to see a build video on this one, but I'm still partial to giggle filled 22 second original.

It is a given that men and women think differently. Because of this I sometimes laugh at the way you do something like transfer measurements from the wall to the horizontal 2x4 wall attachment using a tape measure instead of just holding it against the wall and continue the marks. At the same time I like the reality of your videos (using your lap when drilling the holes instead of using a table or sawhorse), most guys would make it a point not to show that but quite a few of us have done it that way too. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video.

Hello Maim, I super love your DYI folding table. You make it so Easy breezy and instrumental. You are by far a Master Craft Woman.Keep on building and teach.❤

Absolutely love this. This will be on my spring project list.

looks nice, table's not bad either.

i need to move next door to april so she can build stuff for me. lol "i asked him if i could build if for him." "ok!"

Thanks for all the great projects. I had made one of these for my old garage that was larger so I could roll out fabric. I did upholstery and it works great for this and a work bench.

You ROCK GIRL!!!-I was just telling my neighbor I wish I had gone to a construction school. I LOOOVE DOING STUFF LIKE THIS FOR MY HOME!! Girls rock, we REALLY CAN DO Just about anything!!!💕💖💗💗💕

April you are so cute.

April, Awesome video. I just recently bought a Pre - Fab shed and will be turning it into a small workshop. It is 11' x 16', and this project is just the ticket to conserve space. I have viewed other videos you have and you come up with some wonderful ideas, Thanx in advance for all the great work you do, your hubby should be very proud of you. Sincerely, Peter J. Brown

That's the next thing I need into my garage/workshop! Thank you for sharing, April!

I was just watching this again, thinking about the laundry table my daughter asked me to build for her. Looks like this would work really well for that. Great design!

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for the great content. My wife and I created a table is our smaller size garage and it works great. 🙏🏽

I built a miter saw station and quickly realized I need a work table as well. Definitely using this as a guide. Thank you

Just discovered your website today. Your videos are awesome. Presented very well...you are a pro.Thank you.

You are not only the Hammer. Your are the whole Toolbox! :) Greetings from Germany, Markus

Love it. Quick and easy. Not complicated. Thanks for sharing.

I especially like that you added the stop block on the legs. Great idea.

Very well made and I am sure many will enjoy making it. Thanks

I think its beautiful..... Simple yet functional!!!

April, awesome job with the work bench. Followed your instructions and made one in my garage myself. 🤘🤘

stunningly simple and sweet design. I am going to build one looking exactly like this. Thanks April

Nice bench April, I plan to steal the idea and build similar benches in my little shop. I enjoy watching all of your videos. You have a straight forward common sense style I really appreciate.

I just barley came across your videos and I'm in love! You are very informative and to the point with a hint of fun. I will definitely be waiting to see more.

I just finished building my fold-down workbench. Works great! Really happy! Thanks...

You are a creative woman, your product is very practical to life, I love your work!

Great stuff! My girls helped me build our house, learned a lot! I really admire your attitude! Rave on!

Finally a simple video on this project. Thanks.

This is def on my "fun things to do" list for this winter.....Thanks for sharing!

Definately making this for my shed. So easy and practical. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome design! Easy to modify for whatever dimensions are needed. Put this together in an afternoon (something I should have done BEFORE I started a woodworking hobby during the pandemic)!

Excellent job. Very simple and clean build.

Love it April! I was looking to build a workbench but this might have convinced me to build a fold-down table instead. Great job.....

I love this idea! I have a super full garage that I try to work in, but I have little work space. This is perfect. I can make this and then fold it up when I need to use that spot for something else.

Hello April, I always watch your work here in Brazil, very good, my father is a carpenter and said that you are an excellent professional. Congratulations.

I like your down to earth attitude and excellent presentation skills. Keep rocking!
