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 is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

@shapiroyaacov 2 года назад

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

@dmitriy1316 2 года назад

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

@selloutlabel 2 года назад

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.

@ModernBuilds 2 года назад

I don't want one... I'd rather have the open space underneath.... not sure what you're doing on your workbench but it definitely sturdy enough for building and assembly

@iamepimethus 2 года назад

Yup, over time everything will loosen up a bit. Maybe even something on the back of the legs to still be out of the way. Sooner or later it will gain slop.

@AB-nu5we 2 года назад

@@ModernBuilds If enough shear force is applied from either end, it could cause the opposite side to buckle for one thing. For example, if you applied enough force, say hand planing, to the left side (camera view), the right side might fold under under the right circumstances. You may not use that bench for hand planing, but one of your viewers might.

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!

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.

@dirkskep2458 Год назад

Where did you get the plans?

@4819632011 Год назад

@@dirkskep2458 Didn't have any. I saw a similar video and made it to fit me. I'm a 5'6'' woman and I made it to be comfortable for my height and space on the wall for storage. 3'W x6'L x 30"T My best tip is to Buy the casters 1st it will determine the leg height. Make it as long and wide as you want.

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.

@JTWoodworks 2 года назад

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

@bonacci01 Год назад

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.

Better than a stretcher in my book... I want to figure out a way to get more torque by hand on the bolt and nut so that I don't need to use a wrench to get it super tight. :)

Add a magnet onto the bottom of the work surface to hold you open ended wrench for leg bolts if you want it to really take 20 seconds

@judyfenske1429 2 года назад

Please make more candles and tea sized holders. A magazine rack. A short 4' wide sturdy bookcase without nails. (The one I have is 64 years old, no nails, heavy boards, 3 sections on bottom and has never come apart. Built by a 14 year old boy. ) Add to the list: A China hutch circa 1940. Dining room chairs. Tiered floor shelf, 4 shelves. And how to repair a large crack at the front of the bottom shelf, running vertical near left edge. Please. A folding table; many sises. Bed, chair, small child's floor and a 5' long X 3' wide X 13" tall for teens to sit under and has folding legs. (We had a metal one that we wore out.) Add a "real" desk, one with 3 drawers on the left and 4 drawers on the right and a long center drawer. None are made this way today. I love mine, circa 1950's. Add hanging lights, with a slow demonstration of how to put the light box together. Please. Thank you. Have I missed the kitchen remodeling? The gardens? The solar on the house roof? Bus trips or friends using the bus? Thanks for listening. Judy

I would add a rabbet to the 2x4 at the bottom so that the table can see there and you have an additional "locking point. That way, even you you accidentally knock it, it should not fall down.

I think if you'd used a third washer between the legs and the edge of the table (kinda as a spacer) I think they might even fold a little bit smoother...
