Introduction
Build this solid, roll-around, folding workbench in a day with simple hardware and only two sheets of plywood.Overview of this fold away workbench
Here’s a workspace that’s huge and accessible from all sides yet folds up and stows away easily. If you don’t have room for a full-size permanent workbench but really need space to spread things out, this workbench is it. It opens to a solid 4 x 7-ft. surface with both wings up yet closes and rolls into a small 4-ft. x 18-in. spot in a corner of the room. It’s a perfect workspace for the garage or basement. It’s also a great surface for making repairs, working on hobbies, cutting sewing patterns, wrapping gifts, folding laundry, doing stained glass crafts or even just holding a mechanic’s parts.
This fold away workbench project has no complex wood joints. Just straight cuts, careful measuring and some nailing and screwing.
