Two Mobile Workbenches, by Jochem

To be able to work comfortably in my small workshop, I built two sturdy workbenches with a base that can be rotated up so that they stand on their legs. There's also space for the entire stock of screws and bolts, there's a large vise on it, and I can store my compressor in it.

How I made this project

To start, I drew the whole thing in Fusion 360, so I knew exactly which parts I would need. The legs of the workbenches are made from composite parts of birch plywood. These are glued together in 3 layers and fixed with some small nails. When assembling, you already make space to fit the different parts together. It's handy to use a small strip for this (you can order extra, then it's exactly the same width). A recess is made in the legs in which the cabinet falls. These are 6 boards that are glued and screwed together. In the middle, there's a double for extra strength. The wheels are on a board that is exactly the same size as the bottom board of the cabinet, this also falls into a recess in the legs and is pushed down by a scissor jack. The jack can be operated through a hole in the bottom beam. This can be done with the crank, but on my jacks, a socket wrench cap also fits, which you can put in the cordless drill.
