I realize this thread is a few years old now, but to followup on Randy's post I would love to see the high res photos or anything at all that may help duplicate his folding workbench setup?

Minor update to the garage! Finally mounted the vise. Mounted on the left side where there's more room away from the toolbox. Mounted through the plywood and then another piece of plywood underneath, with the stationary jaw mounted flush with the edge of the bench. Also ran seem 2x6 which was...

I'll take a look, thanks! Couple photos from the builder's website.

Just checked your thread, very nice! Very similar to mine, from the color scheme, to the tire racks, to the workbench. For the vice, will you be using bolts and screws on the two bolts that do not go into the legs? As for the heater, I'm not sure. It came with the house and is hardwired, not...

Minor update to the workbench! Took some 1x6 and ripped it to size for trim on the front and sides to protect the edge of the plywood and then left the back tall to prevent pencils and drill bits from running off the back. I'm not sure where to go with the workbench next, I had initially...

Cleaned up the wiring a bit on the workbench light and hung some more wrenches. Anyone have feedback / suggestions on the bench place to mount the vise? And best method? Through the 2x4? Through the plywood with reinforcements underneath?

How do you mean double boxes? I'm not sure, there's currently four big LED shop lights as well as additional LED lights on the workbench. Maybe eventually, but I would say it's brighter in there than my iPhone pictures show. Just an electric heater, so I would guess it doesn't get as hot as a...

Workbench is done! Well, close to it. Really happy with how it turned out. I think I'll take a 2x6 and wrap the front and sides of the plywood top, just to protect it and make clamping a little easier. For the time being I decided against the stools, but it would be easy to turn the red and...

Perfect, thank you for the feedback / ideas! I personally kind of like the ideas of having a pair of stools in there. As much as the garage is used for work, there's still a beer fridge and I would eventually like to include a small TV for when I want to take a break and just watch the game...

Sorry, that could have been confusing, that is not MY workbench, just a picture of the design I'm stealing. I went out and bought the lumber and my workbench construction will start this weekend! In the meantime, rearranged some of the shelves. Initially the 8 foot shelf was on the wall behind...

Decided on workbench plans, going to steal an idea from another GJ thread. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85769 Hopefully have the bench 12 feet wide between the air compressor and black tool box, with a six foot shelf on the right side and then room for the fridge...

I bought in the north - northwest, towards St. Albert. At this point likely just keep it as is. Some of the reviews of the DIY epoxy kits scare me and I'm unfortunately on a bit of a budget and can't splurge to have it professionally done or any of the nice interlocking tiles.

This what the front of the garage looked like, before the shelves were hung and before the red car was tucked away for the winter. I'd like to build a workbench between the air compressor on the left and the toolbox on the right, with it going over top of the beer fridge. Still looking at...

Nice looking garage (and car)! I apologize if this has already been covered, but what class do you run in?

Have started filling up the garage with goodies - spare motor - engine crane - air compressor - beer fridge - wheels and tires - racks for other assorted tools and parts - started decorating with some old drifting memorabilia Next up is a workbench. I would like to build one at the front of...
