Who in their right mind gave this a thumbs down? That's without a doubt one of the coolest projects I've ever seen. I would love to have something like this in my garage, I just don't have the wall space. I found your video because I'm looking to build a simple folding table, but this totally blew me away. So cool man. Crazy how jealous people can be in this world.
I know this is quite the old video, but, I honestly really like this a lot! I just bought a house, and I am looking to build out a nice shop from my garage, and I have been just stuck on what to do with the space because I absolutely need to have the lowest visual noise but still have everything I need. I love how this table is just not obtrusive or loud whatsoever. I would like something like this, but something like a push button storage, I unfortunately am disabled and physically challenged so having to lift and put down is a bit difficult for me, if I could just press it and have it like pop out, and then I could lower it to the floor that would be awesome, but I definitely love using vertical space, I want as little clutter on my garage floor as possible because I want to do the epoxy rising floors and just open it up and look into something clean and minimal. Sorry for rambling, but I really enjoyed the video and loved the workbench. If I could do something like this and have like a drawer slide all organized tool bench like a vertical stacked drawer system to pair, I might actually get back into metal work. I stopped it after my accident (unrelated) and just been dealing with the lack of ability of movement and all that in my life, so I have been in a runt but because I am moving to somewhere I've always wanted to, and it's more rural it would be nice to change my life and do something new, and I just felt inspired, so maybe I will try it. 🥹
I had in mind to build something similar till I saw this video, but now I have to build this one or this one, no other. Genius idea and great use of the space. Thank you for sharing.
It's a space saver for sure. Only keep tools in that cabinet that I know ill use when the bench is down have a 2nd set of ones that are common in the house shop. I definitely learned a lot making the video and from the comments especially the audio. She is pretty easy on the eyes!
Excellent to hear. It certainly helps with some of the clutter I've had in my garage. As others have pointed out keep a 2nd set of common use tools in another spot so you don't have to drop the table every time to grab a screwdriver!
Like you, I searched through numerous videos, drew up plans, chatted with others, to come up woth the plan that suited my needs. The hidden tool board is awesome, great idea, and yes, have altered my plans to accomadate this as well. Fantastic job. Afterall, when folks do projects like this, commenters need to remember, there is always another way to skin a cat. However, when a video is made and a project built, they are done so to help others, and built to suit the individual need. I personally do not pay attention to music in videos, if I wanted to listen to music, then I would. Aside from those types of comments, I look for the content, a way to do something better, maybe so I don't mess something ip wasting materials, etc. Awesome man, and thank God for the "muscle", right? They are the best. On of my fav vids at this point.
Thank you very much appreciate the comments. Happy that other find some value in my videos. Considering this was one of my first major ones I think I've come along better with my newer videos.
great build seen the title and had to check it out. In desperate need of work bench something like this is what I need maybe not as big have one car garage and in worse condition than yours lol.
As long as you mostly need the tools when the table is down that's a brilliant solution! I wouldn't put a drill or a screwdriver or any common tools behind the table in case I need them around the house.
Been very happy with it. Clears up a lot of space when stored and gives me a lot of workspace when it's down. I'm working on plans for a fold-up miter saw station now. Hope to have the video up in a week or so!
Nice!!!! My workbench is a folding table (the old brown ones that you would see at sams and costco back in the day) i put casters on the legs, wich added another 4 inches to the heitht, and secure to the wall the same way you do to keep it off the floor. The cabinet behind it is genious. Im going to have to steal your idea and somehow make it work with my table. Thank you.
@@YourCouchsucks me and my wife decided that we will make one this week . thanks fam hope to see more of this . we also want to see if you can make a folding chairs :D i mean your own concept of space saving folding chair . cheers from ph ^_^
Happy to hear it certainly a space saver that allows for sone good use. Working on plans for a smaller 2x3 multiple purposes mitre saw, router, work table. Hope to have that out some time soon!
I like it! Maybe put the center brace 2*4 in at an angle and close it up in the legs, and you won't have to leave the brace sitting on top. It just looks like it could easily be knocked down on accident that way and cause injury. Also maybe a small strip along the bottom that the bench top edge would rest behind while it's on the wall. HD has1/4*1/2 shoe molding that would be perfect for that. Put the bump out so it can ride across the top and fall into place super easy. Again, this way no one can pull it down on accident.
Wow, that's a nice work man, i am just a twenty yo beginner in woodwork and your work was very inspiring for me. Keep up the good work, hugs from Brasil.
Before I start building this could you tell me how deep the total cabinet is with the workbench attached to it, I want to make sure my truck will still fit afterwards. Thanks
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
An interesting variation on this -- not sure I like the tool behind design - if I need a tool but needing to use the table,,, take table down and get tool. I guess it will depend on the individuals use needs. Cheers
Built a similar one this summer, you can store your cross board in the bottom - I rest mine on the bolts sitting across while I close the legs on it. I've got kids that would find a way to knock the loose board down any other way.
All I can think about is that I'll need that one tool that's behind the table, and will have to pull the whole table down just to get to it. But the table part of it is great.
Great idea. Little tip a piece of brass pipe over the bolts on the legs will increase the longevity, and ease the function of them opening and closing. Still I love it.
Cool idea😮, I am just moving into a new home with only a 2 car garage and this would be perfect to help maximize space. Thanks for sharing. New friends here, Keep up the great content.
Love the table, love the hidden storage compartment, very good design and would love to see more videos with content like this. However, and I say this lightly because it's clear you're new to it, but spend a little more time on the production of the video. The sound track is pretty annoying and you could have cut half the content to keep people from skipping through it and still have had all the same information. Never the less a lovely job! Hope to see more projects like this :)
Trying real hard to avoid the garage clutter this bench build has now allowed me to build perimiter shelving. So the mess is going going gone! THANK GOD! It is a fun build project! Make it you won't be disappointed
I hear you, I just did the same with shelving all up the backside for stuff that's not used all the time.Built some decking above the door going into the house to hold yard spreader,coolers and other light weight stuff.We have stairs going down into the house so that was a big chunk of wasted space. I got the rolling bench finished yesterday, I just need to breakdown my make shift sawhorse with old door set up and sweep up and I can get my truck in the garage for the first time in FOREVER!, My husband was impressed with the bench.He said it was the most useful thing I've built so far. Besides his gun cabinet.lol @@YourCouchsucks
I’ve been thinking of adding a folding rolling table to the garage but I didn’t want to lose wall space for tool storage. Your solution is genius and is motivating me to build the same. Thanks for sharing.
I'm new to your channel, and a new subscriber as well. I like this, and am going to give it a shot. I really love that green shirt too. BTW.........thank you for your support.
Pretty cool! Out of sight out of mind, anti theft and anti borrow, and never return hideaway. But what if you need to use the tools but not the bench? 😀Do you ever forget the tools are there? 😃✌
Not too much of an inconvenience I have a 2nd set of common tools; screw drivers hammer plyers etc. that I keep in the indoor shop. Though at my age just setting a tool down seems to cause a "where did I put that moment!"
I have only one suggestion. Purchase some clamps. You will find using them to position boards while screwing them on, and while cutting boards make lift a lot easier.
Great video and cool foldup workbench. Instead of the humming music, I would have rather heard you overlay commentary on steps along the way. Adding your wheels to a hinged 2 x 4 would allow you to fold in the wheels, so your bench legs would sit on solid ground. 👍👍
They're screwed from the top down into the frame and then I used wood filler to hide the screw heads and holes. if i did it again id use pocket hole screws for everything lessons learned!
Nice bench! Coupla pointers, coupla criticisms: Pointers: 1) might be faster to use a drywall T-square to Mark your lines than to mark both ends & connect with level... 2) might consider using Torx drive (‘star’ drive) fasteners instead of what appear to be Phillips head - bits hold better and almost no cam-out when driving under load... 3) you can buy gadgets that fasten to your tool belt and hold your drill... keeps it handy! Criticisms: 1) if the hum sounds came from a CD, BURN IT! and either leave shop sounds or overdub a narrative - I’m personally a fan of narratives because they can be used to explain what you’re doing! 2) if the humming sounds came from a website, DELETE it from your history!! 3) personal issues - wear hearing/eye protection! If not for yourself and your family, then for the folks you’re setting an example for! 4) other personal issues - I’m old-school and it fries my brain when I see folks pull running mitre saws BACK thru cuts... WHEN (not if...) the blade catches one edge or the other, you’ll resultantly be far more awake and alert immediately after than you probably ever have been - meaning KICKBACK. And remember: you’re setting an example for some just as you’re being fun to watch for others!!
You're r welcome learning a lot about UA-cam a d wood project as I progress. Have another video coming of a smaller form factor miter saw table and workbench hope to have it up in a few days. Actually wore safety gear a bit more in this one ;)
True, true, true.... I was trying to show my son how to cut angles and I guess I was taking to long. Anyway, he got ahead of me and tried to back cut!!!! He won't do it again!!
Interesting design, similar to others, but, I live in an apartment and my small workshop is in the basement, so, a mobile bench would have to fit in the lift, which means initially it would have to be transported in the folded position the only solution I can come up with is to replicate the caster fold out mechanism with 2 castors and attaché it the other side of the main frame, it does not have to be on both sides, any thoughts? I guess the same dilemma occurs if you want to work inside your house or move the bench through the house into the garden?
Great project. I may purchase your plans off of Etsy. Hoping to see more videos from you. Any chance you could not do the 'stop and go' music again? Hate that.
If you don't have a 2nd set of common tools ie screw drives hammer etc I guess you would. But as time as shown anything I need in the storage is something I'd use when the bench is down..
Well done but I do not want to pull down the table every time I needed one of the stored tools such as a level. Also the table shook even when you were wiping the finish onto it. Not stable enough for me.
Yeah, understand makes sense. For me, I have 2nd set of everyday use tools that are not in the storage. The ones that are there are what I would use if the bench is down. As far as the shake the wheels were not locked so I could spin it as needed while putting on the Linseed oil. That said it not as steady as a permeate non-moving workbench so it's a trade-off in the mobility
@@YourCouchsucks Got it, I too have seconds if not thirds of many tools. I am certain locking the wheels would make a serious difference. Excellent video and build.
@@YourCouchsucks Will do. I have recently sold my property of 22 years (11 1/2 acres) which included my two studios, plus a barn and two wood storage buildings an oversized 2 car garage and an 800 Sq Ft shop where I built vernacular furniture for 20 plus years. I now have a 12 x 12 shed which I have gutted and rebuilt and now installing shelving and benches etc, and a 1 1/2 car garage and a 12 X 16 ft room for my art/finishing studio. Now looking for ways to make all this work as my complete shop is now in a storage facility. Space is now at a premium and all help welcomed. Thanks.
Couple problems with that. It has to be that length for the legs to to fold up. Unless you wanted shorter legs but that might be an uncomfortable height to work at. It would also be pretty tough to lift onto the wall from the long end in my opinion.
Curious if there is a reason this was not made as a 4x8... Alot of people do the 3x6 and before I go an build mine as a 4x8 I am wondering if there is something I am not considering. I have the space on my wall for a full 4x8 and while it will be heavy to lift up, I am sure I can handle the added weight. Anything else I might not be thinking about?
For a project like this if your folding it onto a wall you have make sure you have the ceiling height. In other words if your bench height is 34" your "on the wall height" is going to be 82". If that makes sense. If you have the space and don't mind the extra weight you're probably good
It's up on the way right no but as of late it's been down off the wall a lot been using it for some other work working projects and as part of my "UA-cam Studio" for some of my other videos.

Génial ! C'est une très belle réalisation au point que l'on n'a pas envie de la salir, mais de s'assoir pour y casser une croute entre copain.
What kind of saw is the one you use at the beginning
Sorry about the delay it's a Ryobi 18v + circular saw. Great little battery operated saw!
Good plan as long as you only need the hidden tools when the workbench is in use.
This is my garage work bench as most people do I have a second set of the most important tools screw driver, hammer etc available elsewhere.
Perfect 🤙😉🇧🇪
Thank you! It's worked out well for me over the last 3 or so years.
Brilliant! I would use the same idea, but I rather use 80/20 aluminum frame for lighter table.
Don't have much experience with aluminum work but that would no doubt make it lighter.
Price it out and let us know how that works for you.
Freaking-incredible!
Thank you. Well worth doing its helped get my garage organized for sure
Where did you hide the screws holding the top to the frame below? I don't see them after coating?
They're screwed from the top down into the frame and then I used wood filler to hide the screw heads and holes. if i did it again id use pocket hole screws for everything lessons learned!
Nice bench! Coupla pointers, coupla criticisms:
Pointers:
1) might be faster to use a drywall T-square to Mark your lines than to mark both ends & connect with level...
2) might consider using Torx drive (‘star’ drive) fasteners instead of what appear to be Phillips head - bits hold better and almost no cam-out when driving under load...
3) you can buy gadgets that fasten to your tool belt and hold your drill... keeps it handy!
Criticisms:
1) if the hum sounds came from a CD, BURN IT! and either leave shop sounds or overdub a narrative - I’m personally a fan of narratives because they can be used to explain what you’re doing!
2) if the humming sounds came from a website, DELETE it from your history!!
3) personal issues - wear hearing/eye protection! If not for yourself and your family, then for the folks you’re setting an example for!
4) other personal issues - I’m old-school and it fries my brain when I see folks pull running mitre saws BACK thru cuts... WHEN (not if...) the blade catches one edge or the other, you’ll resultantly be far more awake and alert immediately after than you probably ever have been - meaning KICKBACK. And remember: you’re setting an example for some just as you’re being fun to watch for others!!
Thank you I appreciate the comments.
@@YourCouchsucks you’re welcome! Thank YOU for taking the time and initiative to do the project and post the video!!
You're r welcome learning a lot about UA-cam a d wood project as I progress. Have another video coming of a smaller form factor miter saw table and workbench hope to have it up in a few days. Actually wore safety gear a bit more in this one ;)
True, true, true....
I was trying to show my son how to cut angles and I guess I was taking to long. Anyway, he got ahead of me and tried to back cut!!!! He won't do it again!!
Interesting design, similar to others, but, I live in an apartment and my small workshop is in the basement, so, a mobile bench would have to fit in the lift, which means initially it would have to be transported in the folded position the only solution I can come up with is to replicate the caster fold out mechanism with 2 castors and attaché it the other side of the main frame, it does not have to be on both sides, any thoughts? I guess the same dilemma occurs if you want to work inside your house or move the bench through the house into the garden?
Great project. I may purchase your plans off of Etsy. Hoping to see more videos from you. Any chance you could not do the 'stop and go' music again? Hate that.
Ha! Yeah I did another video recently with the music low underneath the saw sounds etc seems better for sure!
Sooo, you have to take the table down every time you need a tool from the peg board?
If you don't have a 2nd set of common tools ie screw drives hammer etc I guess you would. But as time as shown anything I need in the storage is something I'd use when the bench is down..
Sweet
Well done but I do not want to pull down the table every time I needed one of the stored tools such as a level. Also the table shook even when you were wiping the finish onto it. Not stable enough for me.
Yeah, understand makes sense. For me, I have 2nd set of everyday use tools that are not in the storage. The ones that are there are what I would use if the bench is down. As far as the shake the wheels were not locked so I could spin it as needed while putting on the Linseed oil. That said it not as steady as a permeate non-moving workbench so it's a trade-off in the mobility
@@YourCouchsucks Got it, I too have seconds if not thirds of many tools. I am certain locking the wheels would make a serious difference. Excellent video and build.
@@jeffhildreth9244 Take a look have a new smaller miter saw/multi purpose workbench being posted in about an hour
@@YourCouchsucks Will do.
I have recently sold my property of 22 years (11 1/2 acres) which included my two studios, plus a barn and two wood storage buildings an oversized 2 car garage and an 800 Sq Ft shop where I built vernacular furniture for 20 plus years. I now have a 12 x 12 shed which I have gutted and rebuilt and now installing shelving and benches etc, and a 1 1/2 car garage and a 12 X 16 ft room for my art/finishing studio. Now looking for ways to make all this work as my complete shop is now in a storage facility. Space is now at a premium and all help welcomed. Thanks.
@@jeffhildreth9244 I can understand that for sure! Small 2 car garage with all the lawn equipment and junk doesn't leave alot ot "extra"
Awesome !!! #PEACE ✌🏾
Thank you!
Awesome table, and great video 👍
But I really need the name of the song/track/music . Hope you will give me a clue
HmmmHMMMhmmHMMhmmHMmmMmmHHMMM - song title by The Throats
Out of curiosity, any chance it could be mounted vertically instead of horizontally? Maybe couldn’t make it as long but going to give it a shot.
Couple problems with that. It has to be that length for the legs to to fold up. Unless you wanted shorter legs but that might be an uncomfortable height to work at. It would also be pretty tough to lift onto the wall from the long end in my opinion.
Ficou ótimo 👏👏,parabens
Curious if there is a reason this was not made as a 4x8... Alot of people do the 3x6 and before I go an build mine as a 4x8 I am wondering if there is something I am not considering. I have the space on my wall for a full 4x8 and while it will be heavy to lift up, I am sure I can handle the added weight. Anything else I might not be thinking about?
For a project like this if your folding it onto a wall you have make sure you have the ceiling height. In other words if your bench height is 34" your "on the wall height" is going to be 82". If that makes sense. If you have the space and don't mind the extra weight you're probably good
@@YourCouchsucks Well this guy might have changed my mind LOL ua-cam.com/video/5CwIX6jE-qA/v-deo.html
Do you have plans for this workbench
Check the Description and the link is listed there
Very good. The drive link is not working, How to access the plans?
Not sure the share link I'm getting is this drive.google.com/file/d/1vB3A322U0Us024XB7jVCI_tAwwvLRjDP/view?usp=sharing
He wants you to purchase them planes. Cause I think he's a professional carpenter /handyman. "Nice work buddy"..
@@alisha75006 Certainly, not a professional carpenter! I know enough to make things work and not get hurt most of the time. Ha!
Awesome Design, wondering how often it gets put back onto the wall ?? maybe winter only for parking?
It's up on the way right no but as of late it's been down off the wall a lot been using it for some other work working projects and as part of my "UA-cam Studio" for some of my other videos.
