Default Folding workbench

What do you think? I have no plans on buying this but I don't think it
would be very stable.

I did build the knock-down workstation from the latest issue of
ShopNotes and it is surprisingly stable. Works a lot better for my
miter saw than the outfeed table of my TS.

That design can work really well (I've no idea what that particular
bench is like). The trick is to use monstrously stable trunnions for
the main hinges, not just pressed steel hinges or a piece of studding.

Car suspension parts are about right. You can make lovely hinges from
cut-down pistons with the gudgeon pin and rod acting as the swivel.
