Now you guys have me thinking in a different direction. The fold down
idea would probably work pretty well since my main goal was to be able
to get the bench out of the way when I needed the space. It seems like
a simple project, but are there any plan available that I could look at
for ideas?


I'm sure there are but I don't have any links...I'd just take the size
of area I had available and frame up something pretty solid and hang it
on some heavy butt hinges. Seems like maybe there was something in the
last FWW Shops special issue--I'll try to remember to look this evening
and see if I find anything.
