Folding Worktable
Designed with common materials, this portable work surface holds up under heavy loads.
Space in a shop is always at a premium, so we are always looking for ways to make better use of the space. That’s where this table comes in. It’s the perfect extra worksurface or tool stand. When the job is done, it folds flat (less than 6") and can be stored out of the way until it’s needed again. Plus, it weighs just a bit over 15 pounds. But don’t let the light weight fool you. This table can handle heavy loads. The secret might of this table is in the design. Both the tabletop and leg assemblies are “engineered” to evenly distribute and support a heavy load.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
