Looks like a great workbench. However, some of us with limited garage / shop space might have to take a different approach.

I recycled the really ugly old 3' solid-core exterior door from my front entrance into a new work bench. The three hinges are screwed into a ledger board on the garage wall allowing it to fold down flat against the wall when not in use. A pair of folding 2x4 legs hold it upright when in use and swing away out of sight when it's folded down. With the hinge side securely anchored to an exterior wall the bench is surprisingly stable even with the two folding legs.

My lovely wife can still park in her garage (most of the time!)and there's a strong incentive to clean up at the end of the day.
