If you’d like some room to spread out and work but your garage or basement doesn’t have a lot of room to spare, this wall-mounted, fold-out workbench may suit your needs. You’ll need the materials and tools, but this pegboard bench will give you room to work and store tools, and folds up nicely when you’re done.
While the draw of this particular workbench is that it folds up easily, and then folds down onto its legs when you need to work, but hidden inside is plenty of pegboard wall storage for tools, cables, and other things you might need when the bench is deployed, as it were. In addition to giving you a place to work, it also offers some helpful storage to keep your tools out of the way, even when it’s all folded up.
Instructables user WorkBoots09 put this bench together, and while you’ll definitely need some special tools and you’ll have to get the pegboard, plywood, and other hardware required, but once you have everything you need, even WorkBoots09 acknowledges that an amateur woodworker can make this project happen.
