I needed a decent workbench for my garage, but lacked the space. I decided to build a folding one that mounted to the wall studs. Also, instead of legs that rested on the ground, I created a design using floating legs that swung outwards. The final design was a very heavy duty table that folded very flush against the wall, taking up only inches of space. I even routed the edges for a professional finish. I documented the whole project on my blog at:

I completed my folding workbench over the weekend for around $150. My workbench has even gotten some recognition on Lifehacker.com and Makezine.com !
