The PERFECT Workbench for Small Workshops!

How to Build a Simple Folding Workbench for small Workshops. A very easy project that is a great solution for small work spaces where a static workbench is not suitable as it takes up to much room. Every DIY enthusiast needs a workbench and now there isn’t an excuse not to have one. I got inspiration for this project after seeing a similar one over at The Family Handyman so thanks to those guys.
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁🇦🇺
