If you're like most woodworkers, you think of your garage as an ideal workshop. The problem is that everyone else thinks it's a place to park. Now there's a neat, do-it-yourself solution for this dilemma. This full-size workbench project folds up into a tidy, wall-mounted package just 13 inches deep. Made primarily from plywood, 2-by-4 lumber and common hardware, the project includes a generous worktop, integral storage shelves and space for a built-in light. To build, simply cut out and sand all the pieces, assemble using glue, nails and screws and install the hardware. To finish, bolt the unit to the wall and add a fluorescent light fixture. The project is as easy to use as it is to build. To close, fold the lightbox down, remove the cross braces from the legs and lift and latch the benchtop into place. Fold the legs into the bottom of the benchtop, shoot the bolt and slide the cross braces in behind the legs. To open, simply reverse the steps. The workbench is 72 inches long by 74 inches tall by 34 inches deep when open and folds to 72 inches long by 34 inches tall by just 13 inches deep.
