Fold-down Workbench
When we began thinking about featuring a new workbench plan, we asked one of our designers to come up with a design to meet the two most important criteria of all good benches:

1. The benchtop had to be strong enough to withstand daily pounding.

2. It had to be sturdy - not something that was going to scoot across the floor like a tool cart on wheels.

Did I mention that it couldn’t take up any more space than a standard card table? Well, this fold-down version passes with flying colors. The solid benchtop provides a durable surface for assembling, sanding, and even finishing. Now for the best part: It also offers plenty of storage. And when it’s time to close up shop, the bench folds up out of the way.
