Mounting A Workbench To A Wall

My newly completed wall mount foldable workbench that saves space and was a lot of fun to design and build.

Mounting a workbench to a wall.

Dried glue scrapes off varnish spills don t stick and heavy projects slide on the slick surface for easy positioning. The folding work top mounts to a wall with two powder coated black steel brackets that allow the 47 25 in. Thick when not in use making it an ideal solution for tight spots like a shed small garage or tight commercial spaces. In this video i build a wall mounted workbench like the one wranglerstar has in his shop.

And a wall shelf holds supplies and small tools overhead. You can write on it and it erases easily. A simple rack keeps your tools close at hand and off the benchtop. Leave the shelf.

These three projects prove that all it takes is a few feet of wall space to create a comfortable shop. Screw down a sheet of 3 4 in melamine as a new workbench surface. Use glue and pre drilled lags or structural screws. Build your bench like a house with continual point load and a strong foundation.

This build turned out to be. Use two sided melamine and flip it over when the first side gets worn out to expose a brand new surface. Here are some of the main things that you need to keep in mind when you build a workbench along your garage wall. Determine the length width and the height of your workbench check the floor level to decide if you need to sand off any of the workbench legs so that it doesn t wobble.

I use 2x6 s and one 2x4 plus hardware. And they re all built from common low cost construction lumber. Deep work top to raise up while in use or fold out of the way when extra space is needed. 13 pages of step by step.

Create a place for projects even in small spaces with the sportsman series space saving wall mounted work table. Wide x 23 in. Use 3 inch wood screws to attache the bracing to the wall. It can also operate in small spaces.

The wood top workbench folds to only a few in. Again this all depends on how much weight you plan to put on the table. Resting the tabletop on the legs is stronger than attaching the legs from the side using only fasteners.
