I'm late to the party but if you put a 45 on the inside edge of that top you could hang it on a french cleat. Outstanding work and very useful for people in any size shop!
These folding workbenches are great. My father and I have building and using them on for job site workbenches ever since wood magazine first posted the plans back in the 90s.
I’ve watched many woodworking videos on RUclips, and this has to be the smartest idea I’ve seen so far. Having no garage and just a small shed, this is just perfect 👍 I will purchase the plans. Thanks 😊
Have a golf cart, bikes, CNC machine, welder and million other things in my garage so I can’t fit a dedicated workbench. Made this dudes folding wall bench on the other video. Highly recommend his plans.
That has to be the best portable table I've ever seen! I plan on starting woodworking and this is definitely the first thing I'll be making! Thank you so much!
Adding two more interior edge bands at the inside edges of the bench ends to lock the bench open would be a nice improvement that would eliminate the need for those hinge locks.
I made this one to match my height. Also I extend the functionality of this one by adding removable sheet on the bottom to store stuff. Also, I added cleats on both sides so I can extend the workbench and hang my tool rack and router table on either sides.
I just got 2 sheets of plywood last weekend - I was so excited hehe - one is eucalyptus ply... (its just ok lol) and the other one is film faced ply- i think its the same as yours? its black too - oh i love it... and not as expensive as the baltic birch!
@@diyforknuckleheads yeah I love it- I like the black too! I was shocked it was cheaper... a lot cheaper - here it was 50 euro for an 8 x 4 sheet... the baltic birch is 110!
Good morning Knackers!!! I’m loving this, not to wait for the price of lumber to get reasonable so I don’t have to mortgage my house to build a bench, oh yeah and my shed I need.
Chamfers are FUNCTIONAL protection: 1. It protects the edges from chipping away from the rest of the wood. 2. It makes a softer edge so you do not cut yourself on sharp edges.
ok scrap that just realised the folding arms are at two levels, but maybe there could be somethings to drop down. knowing me i would lose all of those small brackets in no time🙄🙄
I love your design. You are a great presenter. You added some extra features that make you design far above the rest. I have watched other videos with a similar design. Not one of them talks about clamping with wood when attaching the sides in the middle. To me this seemed like an obvious solution to lining it up. kudos to you.
You sir are a legend, it's been absolute nightmare trying to get anything done in a smallish double garage without the missus declaring marshal law on me every weekend. Few beers coming your way. Cheers.
You sir are an amazing craftsman and the work that you do is amazing also. I love your dad jokes so keep them coming. I learn so much from your videos and they are very entertaining too. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much Ken....really appreciate the feedback mate and l hope you can stick around for many more vids to come. In actual fact, l have another Folding Workbench video coming up in a couple of weeks....I think you'll like it 👍😁🇦🇺
Shane I think you are fantastic. Amusing and very talented. Absolutely love the bench project. Can't thank you enough. Keep them coming and keep well Sir. Dave & The Girls
I love it! I want to make it. Or get some help making it. Only thing I will add is putting magnets on top of the 3 litte jigs you made to keep the hinges straight. That way they can sit under the the bench top, and not get lost. Velcro would work too I guess. Its a real ripper. As you were making it I was saying " ohhh it looks cool, I hope he puts wheels on it" . And you did. Awesome job bud.
"The Uncle Knackers 'Black Phase' of 2021-22, inspired by the 2019 bushfires that ravaged the east coast of Australia, was regarded as one of his greatest achievements until the polka-dot and pin stripe phase of 2024... his crowning glory."
@@normansidey5258 oh no! I mean poker dots... like poker chips inlayed all over the shop furniture....🤔 ... I know, the door is this way... 🤣 (fixed... thankyou ;) )
Since the top fits on the width, a small ledge and a bit of inset of the wheels and one more catch on bottom of table and the top can attach to the end and roll with it instead of leaning against the wall waiting to fall on the person who opens the door a bit to enthusiastically
Very IKEA like & thats very clever as we know the Swedes are leading the world on many practical fronts. Mate dad jokes need a little improvement but make sense & I reckon you’re a Formply convert 🤠😁🇦🇺🍺👍
probably the best folding bench on youtube.
Cheers Tim! Glad you liked it mate and thanks for watching! All the best for 2022 👍😁🇦🇺
No fancy joinery, that's also right up my alley, great project Shane. 😁
Thanks Jesper 👍😁 Yeah mate, no fancy stuff for me...Keeping it simple for a simple fella 👍😁🇦🇺

Very simple but extremely effective, great stuff!
Thanks mate! 👍😁

Best one yet Uncle Knackers!!!👌
Thanks Dazza! 👍😁🇦🇺
Looks great for a small work table. Only improvement I can see would be piano hinges. These would considerably stiffen the folding joins.
👍👍....good tip 👍
That's a neat little work bench. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate! Glad you liked it 👍😁🇦🇺
You could use some sort of spring loaded pin to keep it from collapsing, great idea this bench, I might make one out steel
Yeah if you could work that out that would be a great idea. Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

I just got 2 sheets of plywood last weekend - I was so excited hehe - one is eucalyptus ply... (its just ok lol) and the other one is film faced ply- i think its the same as yours? its black too - oh i love it... and not as expensive as the baltic birch!
The Film face ply is cheaper...looks better than regular ply and is flat which is awesome. Good luck with the bench 👍🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads yeah I love it- I like the black too! I was shocked it was cheaper... a lot cheaper - here it was 50 euro for an 8 x 4 sheet... the baltic birch is 110!
Good morning Knackers!!! I’m loving this, not to wait for the price of lumber to get reasonable so I don’t have to mortgage my house to build a bench, oh yeah and my shed I need.
😂😂...Thanks mate 👍👍....The prices are out of control!!
Mind blown. I'm clueless around tools. But even I _might_ be able to manage it.
Definitely gonna donate something for a cappuccino.
Cheers mate...Glad you liked it. I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park...good luck and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Versy smart and tanks so much👌👍 for the explanations 😉
No worries at all Claudine! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁
I reckon this might work for a small dining table in a small flat!
Could do....the only thing would be if the folding arms got in the way of your legs 🤔 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Awesome bit of kit 👍

My pleasure Daniel 👍👍 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch mate 👍😁🇦🇺
if you put a bearer across the underside (width)of the table top it could provide extra strength and jeep the folding arms secure
ok scrap that just realised the folding arms are at two levels, but maybe there could be somethings to drop down.
knowing me i would lose all of those small brackets in no time🙄🙄
that is absolutely brilliant!
Glad you liked it mate! It's pretty easy to build as well 👍😁🇦🇺
Brilliant video that is easy to follow. I didn't need the plans, but I bought them anyways because you deserve the support. Cheers from USA.
