Fold Down Workbench Plans PDF, Wall Mounted Folding Work Bench for Small Garage, 48 Inch 2x4 Woodworking Plan, Instant Download

A 48 inch workbench that folds down to a 4 1/4 inch thick panel on the wall. The two legs swing SIDEWAYS into the frame - each one hinges on its own rail so they pass each other instead of jamming - the top drops down, and you get your garage floor back.

FINISHED SIZE

48" W x 23 1/2" D x 36 3/4" H open.

Folded, the bench is 4 1/4" thick and sits about 5 3/4" off the wall, including the wall cleat. Fasten the wall cleat into at least two wall studs with lag screws - never into drywall anchors alone. Folded, it hangs down to about 10 1/2 inches above the floor, so nothing standing on the floor is in its way.

SKILL LEVEL

Beginner. Every cut is square - there is not a single angle in this bench.

BUILD TIME AND COST

3 to 4 hours. About $70-100 in lumber and hardware in the US.

WHY THIS PLAN

Every part was modelled in 3D and machine checked for fit before it was drawn, so the parts actually assemble. Measurements use ACTUAL lumber sizes, not nominal. Hinge placement, the two-rail leg trick and the exact lag screw length are all spelled out - a leg longer than the bench is deep cannot fold flat, and that is where most fold down bench plans quietly fail.
