DIY Fold-Up Workbench - Saturday Morning Workshop

[@vinylbee]

This is awesome! I live in a tiny house and need a place to work/play with my knives and paracord. This is perfect

[@debi7039]

I'm glad you have a video to show the assembly of this wall mount mounted workbench. The web link to this project has an error. It shows plans for a rolling workbench and not this one, that mounts to the wall.

[@StrawberryKilla]

Ok I was going crazy thinking something was wrong in my end! Link is not fixed cuz it’s giving me safe issue :(

[@MakerCuisine]

This is a fantastic design, I'm going to base my next workbench off of this one, thank you for sharing this great idea

[@bryantopelsohn199]

Awesome job, plan on building this in my garage this week- thanks!

[@johnc2264]

Thanks, I just finished this. I changed a few things. I used a piano hinge to make flatter worksurface. I made the legs fold horizontally so they would not hang down. I made the box 1x6 instead of 1x8 so I could reach the pegboard tools. Wish I could post a picture of it.

[@marbetu5394]

I'd love to see it too

[@ststst981]

Even if it's with your smartphone, you can always film a quick video to show your changes to this project

[@anthonygreen9609]

Just what I need. Getting the wood tomorrow. Thank you very much.

[@jaybird8192]

Great project! However I recommend 2 1/2" construction screws instead for drywall screws to mount the pegboard frame and cabinet.

[@klfrlTC]

Agreed! An easy and cheap substitute that will provide more stability.

[@pradeepjhuboo9458]

Very practical and space saving !

[@KBBAKTHA]

extremely useful and practical video for many DIYs short of space.

[@giuseppedelduca1235]

Bravissimo! Bellissima idea! 👍

[@StuffUCanMake]

Very practical project for people like us with small workshops.

[@savoryporkchop6160]

I'd be walking into the hinges that stick out all the time.

[@Nazawazza17]

sad to see the link is for another project, this one looks so clean and simple

[@bruce-le-smith]

Really simple and quick, thank you!

[@jaredmcnevin7311]

Good video and good design however I recommend avoiding drywall screws for any woodworking or home reno that isnt drywall. They break very easily and aren't really made for that weight demand

[@rocknumber11]

Congratulations ... you made a very good and useful construction

[@stebbarry9395]

Are the plans for this still available? The link in the description leads to an other project.

[@christophergrove4876]

Exactly! For YEARS now, wherever you find this photo it links to that other project.

[@Ikarimnassar]

the best table in the world :)

[@TranTheClever]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I think I can actually do this! 3:47

[@nathancawley9640]

Simple and quick. But as others have said those hinges sticking out are a hazard. Other than that thumbs up

[@fadillahanwar9711]

fantastic..thank you..

[@Kt-cn2rq]

You can even. Make the wife a folding table with this design if like me stuck with laundry room in the garage.

[@jplester82]

Can you please fix the link? Anywhere I go I see this design and the link always takes me to a different design

[@golfcat33]

Love this!

[@cgrimes72]

The metal hinge that is attached to the legs when shut seems like a hazard. It looks sharp and protrudes out. Someone could get hurt on those.

[@head5616]

You can't use the hinge instructions that advise on the angle at which it is to be installed. You need to shorten one side (& lenthen the other) slightly to get it to fold flat. Video builder did not do this and thus his braces (needed) stick out.

[@michelelanni9205]

Ok so thats fuckin amazing, sorry for my french

[@qasemwedaei9429]

Good job

[@Hubbell34]

Can’t seem to find the plans for this project, when you click the link it doesn’t come up, can someone send me a link to these plans?

[@lik2oxy]

Neat!

[@762531971]

You forgot the 8 trips to the store for stuff

[@brendasmith1533]

🤣🤣🤣 So so true!!!

[@raylp4751]

How to stop it rolling away , moving when using sharp tools. Great idea, but accident waiting to happen.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Lol why basic you can make it sturdier. This more for basic work bench for working things in the house if going go hardcore work I would suggest making their larger work bench they have on here.

[@wendywu2199]

Nice. Did you use 5/4 x1 for the box?

[@shivparvati2399]

Bro your tony star

[@manuelvega8863]

Did not give dimensions of the unit he was building

[@enzokidgaming3523]

That is the wrong link in the description.

[@tpickeringtp]

Class

[@ssexpress4798]

The arms of the leg brackets look like they are sticking out when it is folded out

[@bruce-le-smith]

Scott Seanor do you have a video showing a design that corrects this?

[@JohnLobert]

They do, and that looks like an accident waiting to happen. Anyone have a solution?

[@JohnLobert]

Here's the solution. Folding leg brackets that lock: www.amazon.com/D-H-S-Posi-Lock-Folding-Bracket-Mounted/dp/B00QSHQHHO/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1524085260&sr=1-4&keywords=folding+leg+bracket

[@jaredmcnevin7311]

@@JohnLobert those do work but I've seen "steve ramsey" from "woodworking for more mortals" use those and they seemed a little wobbly

[@head5616]

I bought similar hinges out of Lowes stock. Installed using proper left / right and adjusting the manufacturer's suggested angle of installation of the hinge slightly and they both fold flush with the leg

[@762531971]

Forgot to make the edge to clamp things down.

[@head5616]

This is key - I extended the bench top edges by 2 inches on the three sides without the hinges. It works well and allows easy clamping.

[@wearenotamused6455]

Hopefully your tools don't get shaken off the shelfs when you're hammering away at something

[@head5616]

Rather than rely on just the vertical wall studs and the 1x2 wall "frame", build two frames. Frame one is a 2x4 frame attached to the wall with 3 1/2 screws. This gives you a wide, thick and stable surface to mount the actual bench assemblies. Then use 2x2 boards in place of the 1x2's to create the pegboard frame. This will create a sturdy platform for the entire bench (and it won't wiggle when finished like the video one does at the conclusion of the video.

[@gordontownsend8514]

Doing woodwork at school you would away get 1 mark for using glue.

[@gregrandol2801]

I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

[@romaineathey6512]

There are projects on how to do this on the Stodoys website.

[@fnaah_au]

love how the video blurs out right before you're able to tell that the benchtop isn't parallel with the floor and slopes downwards like a drafting table because you mounted it at the wrong height and/or the legs are too short. Not to mention the brass leg locks sticking out when the bench is folded up.

[@TheLunnyBear]

If you'd have paid attention you'd have seen the end shot that blurs out, actually starts the video but goes on for longer. Why would he be trying to hide something at the end of a video that he shows at the start.

[@4sho100]

Stop being a Moron...the man trying to help... hell if u not a DIY guy then go read a book..stupid

[@head5616]

Cut the legs 1 1/2 inches short and use adjustable feet (easily available on Amazon) this way you can be sure the top is level

[@fred5480]

The plans have disappeared!

[@romaineathey6512]

I did it myself. I used Stodoys woodworking plans for this.

[@LizQuilty]

this looks really wobbly and not really ideal :/

[@theopiner402]

Definitely too wobbly...

[@Dsoginventor]

How do you figure? The one edge is securely hinged and cannot move at all. The legs only offer vertical support, which isn’t much. If the legs aren’t up to your standards, it is an easy task to make them more sturdy.

[@fasteddie1241]

I wouldn't want those hinges on my work surface. maybe try to hinge it from the other side

[@head5616]

A quick bit of revision makes a sturdy set up - just finished mine with slight mods (after seeing the wiggle) and it is SOLID and works great (think 2x4 and 2x2)

[@mohamedmokhtarhamou555]

Traduire en français et dimensions s v p

[@T25de]

Pass

[@dewhitaker1]

I wish that video matched up with the instructions. This video stinks but I'm smart enough to make the adjustments

[@ssexpress4798]

Nope.

[@nayosilver636]

Not a good project and you know it. Once you finished, obviously you HAD to notice that this thing have a lot of failures, and was not firm enough....so why you still posting the video?? at least you could have worn of all the things that are not correct for people to correct them (taking in account that you were lazy enough for not doing it yourself before posting it)
