Knock-Down Worktable
It's always handy to have
an extra worksurface when assembling or finishing a project. The only drawback
is it often takes up too much space - space I just don't have in my
workshop.
The knock-down workbench shown in the photo at right solves
that problem. What's really nice about this worktable is that it can be
assembled or taken apart in less than a minute, then stacked flat against a
wall for storage. Plus, to build it, all you need is a single sheet of plywood
and two small scraps. (There's a Cutting Diagram in the lower left corner of
the drawing below.)
To make the table sturdy, the legs and aprons
are held together with the interlocking notches shown in the drawing at right.
It's best to cut these notches just a bit oversize (1/16") so they slip
together (and come apart) easily. And to prevent the top from shifting while
you work, cut two cleats to fit between the aprons and attach them to the
top.
Have a great
weekend,
