You know what I love about this video? It's so damn simple. You don't have the 20 minute backstory. He just tells you what you need, and timelapses himself doing it to show you, which is perfect. Short sweet and to the point. Great video!

Omg you speak the truth! I love people who just get on with it. Thanks for a great simple "just do it" video. Love those brackets.. I'm going to get some!

@@dianacrisp5944 Thank you very very much!

[@MarzNet256]

I've been a cabinetmaker for 20 years and I think you did an excellent job. Also, a warmed mixture of beeswax and mineral oil works great on wood (and it's food safe).

[@TheeLightningMan]

Thank you and GREAT Advice!

Thank you! for years I wanted to have a folding table by my second floor window. However, since I am not a carpenter, I was only wishing. Now, I am able to enjoy my folding table outside. Thanks again.

[@jeanninebooth6415]

Ordered a pair of these and a cutting board. Video gets me all excited for my project....glad to see those brackets are a good deal.

[@TheeLightningMan]

That sounds perfect! I used a pair and made a flip up bench using a teakwood shower Mat. Thanks for taking the time.

Build you a work table, that would be an awesome, useful project. Oh yeah, that’s what you built. These brackets are what I’m looking for info on. Many thanks- for the simplicity of project.

Thank you! i just put up my own foldable table in my bedrooms after watching and being guided by your video!

[@TheeLightningMan]

That makes me happy! Thanks for taking the time!

[@nttrung30]

Installed these on a riding mower kzbin.infoUgkxetgfkJxfdT_B2vGYP-uNTLaBbim9OKTD . They were sharp out of the box, although I've never liked blade edges that were coated...not quite as sharp as I personally want. Using my belt sander, I removed the coating from the cutting edges and refined the edge enough to shave with them. So far, after three runs, these blades are holding up as expected. Even after hitting a few fallen 1/2 inch or so branches, the edges are still sharp as heck. No edge dings, no warping, etc. As far as installing them, the cutouts were of the proper size and shape to fit my aging Craftsman mower. Very satisfied.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Sorry for the late reply. Maybe the heavy-duty 350 lbs might work. I would be worried about the middle.

[@kriss2787]

[@tite-musleemislam4193]

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-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!

[@TheeLightningMan]

I agree! Thanks!

[@slicedpage]

[@eugenelayhue1932]

I have four 20 inch brackets for a flip top tool cart and two pair of sixteen inch brackets for infeed/outfeed tables for a drum sander will really save space when not using machine. If you don't want to look at the screw heads do as i do countersink drive screws plug flush cut then sand smooth.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Sounds Perfect! Thanks!

[@komoru]

Great idea! But you should wear hearing protection when running that table saw!

[@TheeLightningMan]

Thanks!

[@Mary-ee8nd]

Thanks for sharing!! If I don't like it ....

[@TheeLightningMan]

Fair enough!

[@passerby6168]

Good stuff. How would you go about assembling a reverse (or flip-down instead of up) wall mount? The same folding brackets could be reversed but then the table would hang below them when flipped down instead of resting on top of the brackets. I need it to be flip-down because I need more length than is possible from bracket height to floor and can get more height for that by doing it reverse and pushing the table up against the wall (bracket to ceiling greater length) when not in use. It's for a fairly small garage to use as an extension table for rip cuts with table saw (also a folding model). Don't know if reverse-orientation folding brackets exist or a workaround to this.

[@TheeLightningMan]

It is not made for that but others have tried it and it seems to work.

[@Mainbusfail]

Mr. Bo, I want to buy you a Keter work table so you don't have to work on the floor. LOL Love the folding table by the way.

[@aunttriciaattic]

Thanks for the video I love this can the brackets be used the opposite way flip up instead of flip down.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Not sure I understand the questions. It does flip up. And then when you release the tabs it flips down. But there are a few creative ways to use them.

[@shirlthetwirl]

Great video. You made me laugh at your cavalier attitude, just love it. Anyone can make this and refine it if they wanted to. Thanks for sharing. Keep on RING or Camoervanning as we say in the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you! very much appreciated!!

[@steven.h0629]

Thanks Bo.. good idea. I see there's some BIG stainless steel brackets too.. 330# 16" model runs $30 for two right now, and these will help make a great flip up table extension for my outdoor pizza oven's stainless steel table, wow a new pop-up prep area!!! Cheers!

[@TheeLightningMan]

Where did you get those brackets?

[@TheeLightningMan]

Hi Thank! Links are in the description to a few choices on amazon.

[@V5Bs]

Could you tell me why you added the extra boards on the bottom to attach the brackets to? I'm in the process of trying to do this myself.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Hi , Need them to hold all the other boards in place and have something to mount the bracket too.

[@Ghost_Os]

Nicely done. I presume the stated weight capacity is for a pair, not per unit? I see some that are rated for 550 lbs., but are sold in 4 packs.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Than you and thanks for taking the time. Max load capacity: 550lb/set. make sense to me cause it takes both hands to push the lever to unlock and put it down. Would be hard with 4. Thanks again!

[@TheeLightningMan]

Folding Shelf Brackets 12 Inch, Pynsseu Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Collapsible Wall Mounted Shelf Bracket for DIY Table Work Bench, Space Saving DIY Bracket, 2 Pack - amzn.to/3LLnPqi They work great !

[@RoundheadRecords]

Would you needle an issue I need to resolve. Unable to do pull out shelf below studio desk for keyboard. I need to have a system where I can pull a shelf with the keyboard out and push down to be on the desk - when needed. It is a space issue. I have a 88 key electric and a midi keyboard 59 keys. I built a slide out garage years ago for the large one - but now with a new space (smaller) there is just not enough room with more keypads, thus I need to pull down to desk level, record on a solid shelf and push back up and away. Could you think about this and see if you have any ideas. If I could send a picture I would but I do not know how on here.

[@TheeLightningMan]

It is hard for me to picture what you are trying to do. These flip up and down. Not sure how it would work for what you are trying to do.

Maybe a stud finder www.homedepot.com/s/stud%20finder?NCNI-5

[@mudpanther6079]

Cam someone please tell me if these can be used the other way around so flip down instead of flip up? Cheers

[@TheeLightningMan]

I think that would work, if you do not mind the brackets showing.

[@mudpanther6079]

Yes the bracket showing is fine it's more of it would take the load only 10kg max over 2 brackets the other way round , so that it would fold up and away

[@asslate1]

Could I do the brackets upside down so the table could flip down? I need a flip down table above my washer.

[@TheeLightningMan]

Don't think that would work upside down.

Could these be used in reverse? I want the desktop to fold UP not down, but I’m wondering how much weight these brackets will hold when used that way.
