I just moved my workshop into a separate building from my house, but
space is very limited. (About 8' X 14') I have decided to forego a
build-in workbench and use a foldable workmate. What are your thoughts
on the two Black and Decker versions: 225 and the 425? Or is there
another brand you would recommend?

Thanks,

I have 2 of the old original Workmates and use them a lot... they can do a lot
of things, but workbench is not in their job description...

If you have to, use a solid core door that's hinged to a wall and folds out of
the way when not in use.. NOTE: this only works well if you're not a junk
collector like me, and fill up every flat space with stuff..
If you can be anal enough to clear everything off of it when done and fold it
up, they work well..

BTW, After many years of bruised ankles, I finally sacrificed some wall space to
hang the workmates up when not in use.. the worst part is that after you stumble
on them, they fall into anything that's damageable or expensive available.. *g*
