A strong, stable and collasible worktable
Having a good workbench is a luxury beyond hope for my shop. Its a 2028 floorplan, but its full of machines and I have to garage our car every night.
What to do?
I needed something strong and stable, good and flat, but something I could get out of the way after a days work. It also needed to be light enough for me to handle. 50 years ago I wouldnt have much trouble with heavy parts, but now, its definitely an issue.
After quite a lot of modeling in SketchUp, I settled for a design that uses light parts, most of which are fabricated with .5 plywood. The top is a torsion box.
Heres a link to the video I made to show how it works.
