I made this Fold-Up Work Table to save space in my small shop. I plan to use it for a CNC machine so I can fold it up between projects, but the same idea would work for a space-saving workbench, assembly table, or craft table.

I CANNOT STAND HAVING TO LISTEN TO CRAP MUSIC WHILE TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD SOMETHING...BIG THUMBS DOWN!!!!!
Mute button comes in handy for this! I didn't care for the music either but wanted to see the process.
Great idea, Steve! Using it for your CNC, you'll most likely wind up adding a thicker top to the table. A half sheet of 1/2" MDF would probably do it, and 3/4" MDF would certainly do it. Vibration of that thin top might end up being a factor. My cnc vibrates slightly when the bit is cutting, and 1/4" plywood has a lot of flex to it. I could be totally wrong about your CNC, but it's something to think about anyway. When you get your CNC set up on it and running, watch it as you move it around on the X and Y axis. Pay particular attention to the table when you move it along an axis, then stop moving it. If the table rocks in the direction of travel when you stop it, you might need to brace the table a bit to prevent that rocking. The table looks pretty tight as built, so that may not be a concern, but it's something to watch for in the beginning. As someone else has already mentioned, your CNC is going to create a ton of dust itself, so you might want to consider a dust collection system for it. Otherwise you're going to need an air hose to find the drumsticks, and a respirator to play your kit (nice looking kit, BTW!) All in all, I like that table design. The wife could use a couple in her craft room. Thanks for the idea!
Mark Lindsay Thanks for the suggestions Mark! Yeah, I agree the 1/4 table may flex too much. I may have to get a whole sheet cut in half since they don't sell the mdf at HD or Lowes in 4x4 size. Will do an update video for sure when I get it all worked out.
This guy is always smiling. He's awesome. Great job m8 !
very cool, can't wait to see it in action
Nick Ferry Thanks Nick! Me either. Now to assemble the machine.
Nice looking table.
Since you mention the sturdiness of the top, something to consider is to move the legs to the outside of the top and attach a panel on the bottom side. This will turn the top into a torsion box which will be even more sturdy than only adding bracing or a only a thicker top surface. You could use 1/4" and add a small amount of weight while adding a lot of strength.
As always, I enjoy your videos.
Barry's Workshop Great suggestion Barry! I might have to do that. I don't have much faith in just the 1/4" top, but it's all I could get at the moment. I will most likely have to buy a full sheet and cut it in half anyway. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the plans and video. I made one for my X-carve, which is now in the corner of the dining room. The only hick up I hit was that I don't have a drill press, and my hand drilled holes for the hinge bolts weren't very straight. But with a bit of hammering it still works, although I need a prop to keep the legs open nicely.
+Mike Byrne I used a clamp a couple of times to keep the legs in place, but I've found it's really not needed since the weight holds it in place. As long as you don't have other people around who might kick the legs in, it should be alright.
Great idea Steve! If people didn't keep 'em so cluttered...the same could be done with work benches!
Charles Dearing Yeah, it could be used for anything. I meant to say that in the video but forgot. Thanks Charles!
Well, watching you build anything is nice. You obviously love woodworking because your always smiling in every shot. Your one if my favorites looking forward to your 2x4 video or any video for that matter.
Audra Flores Thank you Audra! I need to come up with a 2x4 idea still.
Man, I wish you had the time to do a video every week! Love your enthusiasm and creativity!
Thanks! I am going to try to do more.
That's a neat table! Wish I had enough room to stand it up even. 10/4 on the a.c. and the Hotlanta!! Summer will be here before you know it and the a.c. will be melted all over the driveway!! Good Job, Pal!
Lewie McNeely Thanks Lewie! It was a little hot this weekend. I'm about to put out my 2x4 video and you will see how hot and dusty I got while making it. lol
You [poor BBQed Youngun, but everybody has to be somewhere!
I like that space saving idea Steve. I'll be watching to see how it works for you. My CNC is way too heavy for an option like that.
Dave Gatton Thanks Dave! Yeah, I will be doing a follow up on it. I will most likely keep it down and ready to use since I use the cnc a lot, but nice to have the option to fold it up.
Thanks for the design inspiration Steve! I made a few slight variations on your design to fit my shop and it works great. One thing in particular that streamlined the whole thing was to flip the carriage bolts on the T-legs so the round heads act like detents to hold the folding legs in place when the table is vertical. It also cut out the step of notching the bottoms of those legs.
+Arnold Martin Great idea Arnold. Glad you could make one. It's nice to have the option to fold it up out of the way if you need the space. Thanks for watching!
Goods idea, Steve. I may have to make a similar table soon myself.
Steve French Thanks Steve!
VERY COOL idea. I have a small shop as well.This gave me some awesome ideas!
Good job Steve, Having a fold up table would be very handy for many projects. It should work well for your intended use.
Kelly Brown Thanks Kelly!
Nicely done sir! I have been thinking about something like this for my shop...erummm... garage... for my router. Looks like I will be ummm... borrowing another Carmichael idea! hehe Thank you Steve!
Oh btw... Mother-in-law was moved to tears with the band saw vase. Much appreciation and thanks again.
Rick Wilke Hi Rick! Good to hear she liked the vase. I knew she would. Glad she had a good M Day.
Nice design. Another rock n roll woodworker...sweet! The EVH toolbox got a subscriber.
This would be a perfect assembly table for my one car garage since I still park the car in there and only move it out when I'm working. Maybe I could put some locking casters on the base end to make it easier to move in and out of my little corner of the garage. Thanks for the inspiration!
Don Henley It would be great for that. My floor is uneven, so I would need those self leveling casters. I don't have room to roll it anywhere in my shop so I left the wheels off. lol
I don't usually laugh out loud while watching woodworking video's...but you had me at 3:45. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Andrew Kavanagh LOL, I had to bend down like that to tighten the leg and I was thinking...I wonder if my face is in the frame so I just smiled. lol
Great idea, Steve. I'm running out of space in my shop, and I can see using this for more than one application. Thanks.
Awesome Jim! Someone just made one and posted a pic on instagram. They made it so that the table top could swing through the leg base and the front legs could swing 360 degrees, so they could use both sides of the table top.
Many thanks, I made my fold up CNC table today from your plans. Works really good. As a novice woodworker I thank you :)
eurostoves Awesome! Glad you could use the plans to make one.
Great idea! I saw something similar in an old WOOD magazine but it wasn't nearly as simple as this and didn't store out of the way as well. Nice work and prepare to see a copy of yours in my garage soon! :)
Your smile is so communicative !
+Léo M Thank you! :)
Sir, I'm glad to inform you that your ideas are very appreciated here in Croatia (thousands of miles away). Simple but very professional. I like it very much. Keep up with good work ! :D
MeeHaGarcia Thank you very much. Hello in Croatia! Hope you are having nice weather there! It's hot 95F here in Atlanta.
Steve Carmichael Same here, past week temperatures reached up to 39 degrees (102F). Not so good for working outside, but excellent for cooling with cold beer and watching helpful videos!
this is an awesome design. very simple. and i like how it doesn't attach to the wall. awsome video.
That is a great folding table.... and it will surely work.
houtjeboom Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing how this experiment goes with the cnc on it.
I like your folding mechanism! Cool project!
Scrap wood City Thank you! We had chalkboards on stands like that in school...that's why I did it that way.
cool work table, I find myself liking your channel more and more, thanks for sharing.
Another great build Steve! Might have to make one just as an assembly table.
Chris Mooney Thanks Chris! It would work great for that or any other kind of table too.
Beautiful table, great job as usual Steve, regards Harry
The Little Garden Shed Workshop Thank you Harry!
I’ve been wanting to do something like this for my Onefinity. Thanks for the inspiration
You could replace the crossbrace on the drop leg with some board, and cover the board with more posters to make it look nicer ;)
***** Great idea! Peg board or dry erase board would be good too, and useful! Thanks Sparky!
Sweet, cant wait to see how it works. I am saving for an X Carve, hopefully can buy it this fall. This was how i was going to mount it also.
Barrett Hageman Thanks Barrett! I will do a follow up once I have it up and running. I might even test running in in the vertical position to see what happens.
Laughed so loud I woke my wife up at 3:47. Whatever you're taking, I'd like some...
+One Man Band Woodworking Ha ha, oops, sorry about that. lol
worth watching just to listen to the great music and the woodwork as well of course
I am so building a version of this table. A great design
Loved it Steve would love to see the next stage the place meant of the cnc and how you go about fixing it to the table keep it up pal! From the UK!
mathew capel Thanks Mathew! Yeah, I will post a follow up video when I have it all done and running. Hello in the UK!
Great build Steve, I may steal your idea very soon ;)
Carl Jacobson Thanks Carl! Steal away! I got the idea from the old chalkboards on stands that they used to have in schools. Man, that makes me feel old. lol
This flip up table is awesome good to have
Awesome project, and a great space saver! For something to keep the legs from getting kicked out from under it, why not add a link between the "back" and "front" legs to keep them parallel? That way the support legs fold down automatically when you lower it. Try googling "parallelogram linkage" if you don't know what I mean.
Jer's Woodshop Thanks! Good suggestion! That would be cool. I was going to look for some sort of metal locking bracket, like on a card table to lock the legs in place. Would rather make something though.
Brilliant idea for a small space!
I still want to see a CNC router mounted on the wall and running in that position :)
Jim Dockrell Since you asked, here you go!
www.buildyourcnc.com/item/cnc-machine-greenLean-v1
Jim Dockrell I might try it. Will ask Inventables if they have tried it first to see if they have any opinion on that.
Sharing a space with your instruments is great. Just work on your dust control to keep from having CNC dust all over your music! You could use a 'plastic tent' type enclosure, but you still need to extract the small dust particles, not just 'chips'. ... Just a hint!
Straight to the point and informative.... great job mate!
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing, you have got a new subscriber. Keep up the good job.
Greetings from France.
Thank you very much! I took 3 years of French in high school but only remember certain phrases. Hope all is well in France!
Buen trabajo Steve. esta mesa es ideal para ahorrar espacio en el taller, saludos.
mauricio marchant celedon Muchas gracias! Estoy preparando el CNC. Es más pesado de lo que pensaba , por lo que será interesante ver si se pliega bien y es lo suficientemente resistente . (I hope google translated that for me correctly :)
Great project great idea for people like me with limited space problem!
takis kail Thanks! I've already used the table for other things. About to build the cnc machine on it though.
Thanks for sharing. One things you might consider is to use the Kreg HD pocket screws for the 2 by material instead of drilling into end grain, they hold better.
Excellent Project Build and Video as usual from you Steve.
As I haven't got a CNC Machine I would try and build that, and use it as an extra prep table or even an out feed table. As with all my tables etc I have in the shed they are on wheels as no room, so this one would probably have some attached as well, it would also be very handy with it being a fold down table.
Thanks again,
Barry from England.
Barry Roberts Thanks Barry! Yeah, it could be used for many purposes. I should have mentioned that in the video but forgot. I need to start writing a script. Hope all is well in England! Someone from Leigh On Sea sent me a msg last week...pretty cool. Small world.
Looks great but I agree, I'd put some fold up style wheels on that - you may not use them a lot but you'll be happy they are there when you need them.
Scott
The 2 Car Garage Shop Thanks! I thought about wheels, but the floor is not too level. I might have to put some bolts on the bottom of the legs to level it so the table is flat. I don't have any room to roll it around. It would be fun to take it outside and carve stuff while I get a tan. lol
Great use of space Steve!
Conrad Designs Thank you !
Great Idea Steve, would make a good assembly table as well in a tiny shop. Thanks.
Marc Eaton Thanks Marc! Yes, it would be good for that.
Steve Carmichael Great and wonderful project!
Francisco Corona Thank you Francisco! Can't wait to see how it works with the machine on it.
Awesome design - great work! Bob at I like to make stuff has a design like this but yours seems more sturdy!
Adam Smith Thanks! Yeah, Bob attached his to his existing workbench, which was an even better space saving idea. It stays folded down anyway though because i'm always carving stuff. lol
This is great, Steve! Now all I need is an X-Carve... ;-)
Nice build Steve!
Donny M. Carter Thanks Donny!
nice job :-). for locking the legs opened, just use the same bolt that you are using to keep the table upright! this way, gives you a nice workflow to open & lock it, also, you won't end up losing it :-)
Hey Steve, great idea, terrific build ! Loved the music
Thanks!
This is great! I’ll probably make the back section wider so I can make it fit against the wall when I build the enclosure.
Thanks! It is really nice to be able to fold it up when not in use. Just secure it well.
Extra bravo Steve !
JC's Workshop Thank you JC!
Just getting in to wood working so not shure what a cnc is but I have a work shop even smaller then yours and LOVE the fold up bench!
Joshua LaBelle Thanks Joshua! The cnc is basically a computer controlled router that moves in the x, y, and z directions to cut and engrave stuff and more. This will save me some space for sure.
No dought. Thanks for the info on the cnc! Watched a lot of your videos. Keep it up!
Hey Steve! Just a few thoughts, If you fix the legs a bit further in so when the open they are at an angle pressing against the frame, that would help stabilize them better and you wouldn't need a screw or bolt to hold them in place. Also the 1/4 plywood may not be thick enough to hold your CNC machine, it could tear out over time. I would add braces underneath for support where you attach it to the top. Also why not use 1 x 4 lumber to lighten the tables over all weight, would it not be strong enough? Just a few thoughts but over all a great project, Thanks for the video!
John Sellers Thanks for the great suggestions John. I like the leg idea...reminds me of the cornhole game legs. I have doubts about the 1/4 top too. It's light which is a plus, but will need bracing underneath when I attach everything. I got the 2x4s to build a 4x4 workbench, but decided to make this instead and I already had the 2x4s. I think the 1x material might flex too much.
Finally got around to watching this and the timing is perfect! Have the same CNC on the way and am thinking that I will make a table that will fold up into a box on the wall. Might try to support the gantry with a housing for all the components but that remains to be seen. Do you have a measurement for how high the top of the X-Carve is from the bottom of the sacrificial cutting board?
***** Hi Tyler - I'm working on a follow up video for this week. Will show the xcarve on the table and show how it folds up. I will try to include the exact width, depth, and height in the video. It folds up great btw.
Might have to make one of these! I have a small shop space also...
+Christopher Sowa It works pretty well, although I do keep it down 99% of the time. Good to have the option to fold it up if I need to though.
I hope your video of the X-carve mounted is coming soon. Im waiting to order until I see if it works well. I also have limited space and a folding wall mount is the only way I can get the 1000mm.
TheVelluch I am almost finished putting it together. Just have to fasten it to the table somehow once I get it running. Will post a follow up video.
Great idea Steve I need somewhere to store mine
***** Thanks Warren! It will be nice to have it separated from the rest of the shop, even if just to avoid hitting it with a 2x4 or something. My wife wouldn't let me put the cnc in the house. lol
Great idea .... however to get over this problem at a place I used to work at, I simply mounted the CNC machine's bed directly to the wall (ours was a brick wall, but into the wall studs should be just as good). A couple of T-Bolt tracks with a bar between them allows the work piece to be clamped to the table. The CNC machine doesn't care that it is now vertical instead of horizontal. The only problem is if you do a full depth cut, the cut-out section will fall out if it hasn't been double-side-taped to the machine bed.
CodeFoxAus I mentioned that to some friends, but wasn't sure if it would work with the xcarve. That would be cool though. I may fold up the table and try it...that would be a fun experiment as long as I don't break something. Thanks for the suggestion!
Steve Carmichael I should mention that ours was worm-gear driven X-Y-Z, not belts, so gravity didn't really have much impact in loading down the drive as the load of the drive head was on the gear rather than the motor.
Great video and commentary. Thanks for posting.
John Holinka Thanks John!
Very nice work Steve - You have a drum room? Must be nice
Making it Matters Thanks! Yes, I tried to 'soundproof' it, but it's sill loud. It does keep the dust from the shop at bay though.
Great space saver! One question, have you ever considered building a small shed to house your outdoor tools to make more space in your garage?
Construct Icon Yes, but the only issue with that is those are my wife's outdoor tools. lol We have discussed it though.
Hmmm. Gotcha! Tread carefully! Lol! It's awesome that she does gardening:) Keep her happy. You really did do a good job of working with the space you have!
Looks like it should support an industrial mill, plenty hefty. May want nuts w nylon locks in the pivot bolts if you're into low or no maintenance.
John Weger I looked for those at HD but couldn't find any. I used lock washers so they don't seem to be loosening at the moment. Will be keeping an eye on that though. Thanks for the suggestion.
I like your fold-up work table Steve. I think your videos are great with good lighting and audio and camera angles that offer a clear view of the work.I know you made this video a while back but you asked for comments on the table. I question if a 2x4 frame with 1/4 top is sturdy enough. Yes, it will support the X-Carve but will it be stable. Did you consider making a torsion box top? I would add some leveling screws to the bottom of your legs so you can get the table top reasonably flat. Did you end up beefing up the table top as you suggested you might need to?
Hi Bob, thanks! It really saves a lot of space my my drum room. I haven't needed to change the table at all. It works just fine. I haven't noticed any issues with the stuff I've made, but then I don't make anything that has to be really precise. I did make parts for a guitar once but they fit together fine. I think the torsion box would be best, but it's kind of overkill for what I do with it.
Steve, awesome video and a great idea. I would even consider for my workbench but I need to have a full enclosure for the device as I am doing work where noise and dust isolation are a must. What do you think of a 4 ft x 4ft enclosure that has a sliding tray so that you can partially pull out the XCarve for cleaning? I am working with some carpenters in my area and we will try to design such a thing. Maybe you would want to tackle an enclosure project in the future? I am subscribing to your channel today.
+ApeX Electronics Hi - Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing. I really appreciate it. The enclosure is a great idea to keep the noise and dust at bay. I have some plexiglass sheets that I was thinking about using for that. I would love to see a pic of what you come up with.
Great Idea!
Chris
Chris Pine Thanks Chris! I got the X-Carve mounted to it now and it folds up nicely. Will show it in my next video.
I hope you don't mind a dusty drum kit, that things gonna get absolutely covered!
Adam Hill I don't mind. I keep the room closed and it still gets dust on it. I will have a vacuum on the cnc so that should help. I need an air cleaner though.
Well done Steve...
Paul Bialozor Thanks Paul!
Great idea. Can't wait to see the X carve mounted. Thoughts on adding wheels to make it more mobile? I might steal this idea for my small shop, I need a big assembly table like this.
TJ Woodworkshop It would work great for an assembly table. I was going to add wheels but I don't have room to move it around. lol The garage floor is so uneven, I may have to put bolts on the bottom of the legs so I can adjust them to level out the table.
Great! I'm just worried about the CNC, do you think you will need to calibrate it everytime you set it back in horizontal position? I don't how the cnc bears with this kind of things. Anway that's a nice folding table!
Cactus! Thanks! I don't know but I will find out. I plan to add supports under the parts, so everything is supported when it's folded up. Just not there yet. I don't want anything to sag or bend from the weight.
Great job Steve!!
Abel Nieto Thanks Abel!
be careful with the pegboard, load it up too much and it may get heavy, or things may fall off, but great ideas :)
Great table the same idea could apply for other uses as well.
Skully Wood & Metal Thanks! Yep, it would be a great assembly, craft, or outfeed table too.
The table build is excellent. I think you will need that MDF top. Stay well ;-)
Trees2Pens Thanks! Yeah, the larger xcarve is much heavier than I anticipated. I will be putting a layer of MDF on the top.
you rock and so do your projects.
Eric Hallman Thank you Eric!
Thumbs up Steve!
Robb's Homemade Life Thank you Robb!
I also am getting the X-carve. I am just waiting on it to be delivered
Did you get The 1000mm also?
Custom Chris Hi Chris! Yes I did. I am doing a follow up video on it in a couple of days showing how I can fold it up on this table. Pretty cool.
i like your smile men ..good job
You might be able to use ladder spreader to hold the legs in place when you have the table down.
BSGA22 That's an excellent idea. We have a foot stool that has those on it and it really has seen its day. Hmm, might have to salvage those off it. Thanks!
nice idea and cool build
Spiritual Splinters wood shop Thanks!
Are you still using the X-carve on that table? It seems to be a bit wobbly for a cnc machine. Thanks for sharing and thumbs up!
Yes, however it stays folded up most of the time since it's in my son's practice room. I can fold it down and start cutting within about 15 minutes. I haven't had any trouble cutting out stuff. I always check the four corners to make sure the clearance is about the same.
Do you think adding some weight to the table would help with stability and vibration control? Great video!
B Chen Yes, I think adding a thicker top will help a lot. I don't want it too heavy to fold up though. Thanks!
Thanks Sir. You're the man.
Great idea!!! Thanks for sharing
Ryan Schauer Thanks Ryan! Can't wait to see how it works with the cnc on it.
Did you ever finish your list of things you wanted to do wit this table? i.e. "I will need to find a way to mount these [external components] that will allow the table to fold up." Etc? I'm going to build this table. Nice project and thanks!
Hi Paul - Thanks! Yes, I talked about the remaining stuff in this video - ruclips.net/video/6EBXXq1Yp2c/видео.html
@@SteveCarmichael Great, I'll have a look. Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Hey steve love your videos
Jacob Kohnke Thanks Jacob!
Don't forget to add some wheels on the bottom to roll it when the CNC is attached
Austin Schwint I thought about that, but I don't have any room to roll it around. lol I might have to put some levelers on the bottom of the legs to make sure the table is not wonky.
Great idea, do you have a problem with humidity in your shop? With the cnc
Hey, I've never noticed anything. It gets very humid here in GA.
great build!!
why not use your trusty bolt to keep the legs in place?
Paul Avesaath Thanks Paul! I will have to do that. It's all set up but I still don't have the legs locked in place yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
Nice work table
John Turner Thanks John!
Hey Steve great video ! Oh and if nothing happens I'm getting me a 14 inch band saw. I looked on craigslist couldn't find anything in my area. So I'm gonna go with the PorterCable at Lowes. It has mostly has good reviews and to be honest I don't really like having big tools shipped. If there's something major wrong with the Portercable I load it up take it back. 15 minute drive. Also I can't wait to make the bandsaw jewelry box that you made for your girl. As you know you can't make that one with a little bench top. Also I'm pulling for you in that 2x4 contest. You are entering right? Thanks Steve !
***** Thanks Steven! Good luck with the bandsaw. I hope to get a 14" someday, but I kind of like using my dad's 12" for sentimental reasons. I'm working on my 2x4 project now and should have the video up in the next day or so. Hope you can enter too!!!
I can't enter see I'm not on RUclips. I know the Facebook is woodworkers on RUclips. But I joined anyway just to see what was going on. I'm way to shy to be on RUclips. Ok Steve can't wait to see your entry video ! Catch you next time.
dat sinister smile at 3:49
Seth Messer he he, I was wondering if the camera was even recording. lol
Hi Steve, I'm really amazed when found this project, I really love it, I just get my XCarve and search around for a solution to suit my needs and this is definetly the one, I just have a question, Whats the size of the separator table you used to make the holes to de folding legs, I mean the wood strip you used as guide. I think is around 10" but not shure, hope can get this response.
Hey, the holes are about 13" in from the back edge of the table, because the max height of the x-carve is about 13". That way neither the x-carve or the table hits the wall. You might want to check yours to make sure it needs the same clearance.
Great, I'm very thankful, I fugure it out it's about 12" counting the strip I mention + the 2 inch of the 2x4, thanks again and greetings from Tijuana Mexico.
Great table! I haven't got a cnc machine but im sure I could put this design tomuse somewhere. More info on the drums please :-) I play an Alesis DM10 :-)

Chris Croft Hi Chris! Yeah, the table is great for anything really. I have a video where I made drum sticks and played with them at the end. I used to have an Alesis D4 and DIY triggered remo pads. It was cool but I sold it to get an acoustic kit for gigs. Here's my last band if you want to see me play - ruclips.net/user/RiffRaffVidsvideos
