If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, here’s a great way to maximize valuable shop space: a full-size, wall-mounted workbench that folds up into a neat, 13-inch-deep package. It even has space for a built-in light and plenty of storage shelves. We make this project easy with our folding workbench plans.
The workbench is as easy to use as it is to build. To close, fold the lightbox down, remove the cross braces from the legs, lift the benchtop and latch into place. Fold the legs into the bottom of the benchtop, shoot the bolt and slide the cross braces in behind the legs.
The project measures about 72 inches long by 34 inches deep by 74 inches tall. It folds up to about 72 inches long by 13 inches deep by 34 inches tall.
Hello, this looks awesome
I am going to start on this project next week. This workbench would be great for my little building.
Do you have any Roubo split bench plans?
Hi Patrick. I am sorry, we do not have any Roubo split bench plans.

Just download the plans, but still have some doubts. Are there available more photos of the building process and mainly end product closed and open?

Great idea for those of us with limited space!
Well i tried to make this workbench and i can say that its good, but i propably didnt make it correctly haha. I’m living in europe so i had to convert inches to centimeters, if anybody here need it: https://amazingconverter.com/metric-conversion/metric-conversion-from-inches
+ remember, the number of inches * 2.54 = the result in centimeters!!! Hope i helped! :)
Looks like an interesting project to put into my list of wanna-do’s

Am I able to put a vise on this bench?
Yes, you could. You would have to make some adjustment in the design so that the vise didn’t interfere with the bench’s ability to fold up.

Thanks so much for the prompt response! I’m excited to look into it.
I’m looking for the plans to a foldup workbench that can be folded in and stored upon or against the wall.

Recently retired at 72. Have always enjoyed woodworking but have not done furniture. Just looking to set up an organized work space.
I cannot locate the workbench plans for the ” weekend” workbench featured in on of your recent episodes of Woodsmith Shop.
Ticket 21122 do you have other plans for workbenches? I am a beginner and I am trying to set up a simple work area for now and expand it as my knowledge increases. Thanks
Dear Kenneth,
Thank you for your patience. In regards to your question-
Yep, that would work.

I’m interested in making this workbench
Ticket As a novice without the “you beaut” (Australian for latest & greatest) woodwork tools & machinery , is this the best place to start for building a robust workbench? Look forward to the feedback
Hi Gareth. I’d say that this would be a very bench for your situation. It’s simple but fairly sturdy, and folds up neatly and doesn’t take up much space when you’re not using it. https://www.wwgoa.com/plan/space-saver-workbench/
Thanks

Hey Guys. Great job. I am a premium member. I love the step by step instructions. Much better than most sites for sure. I just luv it :-) Question. I have a basement shop. I lease, so I can’t drill holes in the cinderblock. Therefore can’t do the top part, or can I????? I am going to work up to this bench, I’m an amature, and I do have a full shop. Your help/answer would be GREATLY appreciated. If you recommend another plan or bench, please do. I need to keep it fairly simple though til I get more experience. I’m a 100% disabled vet, and sometimes challenged due to it…Blessings…Michael
Hi, Michael. I would suggest exploring with your landlord the possibility of fastening this unit to your wall. Many landlords would allow this as long as you patched up the holes when you move out, or leave the bench. Having said that, if that doesn’t work out, I would suggest building a traditional workbench with a simple base, plywood top, etc. You could use the folding workbench plan as a starting point, but just build the base and make it non-folding for better stability. A nice cheap upgrade would be to find some kitchen base cabinets that someone is throwing out, and use those as the base and put a plywood top on that. Quick, simple, and works great.
Cool
thanks
