Drop-Leaf Workbench: Downloadable Woodworking Plan

Drop-Leaf Workbench: Downloadable Woodworking Plan Review

Here's a rock-solid workbench that's mobile. We built it for IDEA SHOP 2, the garage shop, so we could push it out of the way when the time comes for moving vehicles inside. The workbench features, fold-down leaves for efficient against-the-wall storage. Folded out, the benchtop measures 36 x 58". Included with this plan are the drawings and instructions to make the tool mover for moving the workbench around your shop.

Grizzly G9912 Solid Maple Workbench Top 36" Wide x 24" Deep x 1-3/4" Thick Review

Since the first day Grizzly® started, we have been using these Maple Workbench Tops in our shipping and service departments. We estimated that we have over 200 tops in use and expected them to be in service probably for the next 50 years! Our workbench tops are made of solid 1 3/4" USA grown hard rock (sugar) maple strips that are laminated to each other and then coated with food-safe Durakryl finish. The tops, bottoms and all edges are sealed and the appearance is clear, satin smooth, low sheen and natural in color. There is no odor to the finish and they can be cleaned like any other counter surface using soap and water, bleach or nail polish remover. Build your own workbench using our excellent selection of tops. Our optional adjustable SHOP FOX® legs are extremely heavy-duty allowing you to customize your workbench size according to your needs.

Quick-Grip 59200CD 2-Inch Handi-Clamp Feature

• Jaws are designed to reach around odd shapes
• One-handed operation is a major convenience
• Quick release trigger lets you remove the clamp without hassle
• Non-slip handles guarantee grip
• Non-marring swivel pads protect work pieces

As its name implies, the Handi-Clamp is a handy tool to have around when you need to hold a work piece securely in place while working on it. The lightweight clamp squeezes into place easily and holds fast. Non-marring pads grip the work surface tightly, without damaging it. And a quick-release trigger on the handle makes it easy to remove or readjust the clamp as needed--no screwing, twisting, or tightening, just squeeze and clamp down. A larger, 4-inch version of the Handi-Clamp is available for clamping thicker materials, too. Rule number one in a workshop: You can't have too many clamps. --Carl Thress As its name implies, the Handi-Clamp is a handy tool to have around when you need to hold a work piece securely in place while working on it.

The Black & Decker Workmate project center might just be the item you need to make your home shop complete. Its versatility makes it an especially ideal choice for those with limited shop floor space: use it as a workbench, a bench tool stand, a vise, or a sawhorse, then quickly break it down and store it out of the way. Because it's lightweight and portable, you can move it conveniently wherever it's needed. The one-handed vise clamp system, with its exclusive clutch design, provides quick and easy clamping. The Workmate also features an extra block to expand your work surface, four swivel pegs, and an adjustable front jaw that swings up for vertical clamping. Its legs fold under to provide the lower height and stability needed when you're using it as a base for bench tools, and its all-steel construction and rubber feet ensure a stable, strong work surface that supports up to 350 pounds. All in all, we were pretty impressed. With features like these, it's no wonder the Workmate is a popular choice for light-duty and home shop use. --Tim Block
