I've seen online some nice fold-up workbenches which have a pegboard back like the one below:

Anyone in Canada know where I can pick one up? Shipping from an online store would probably kill the deal. I haven't seen them at Canadian tire or Home depot. I probably *could* make my own, but for $150 or so it seems so much easier to buy one.

I'm choking the site with pictures, but I don't think that both of my home-made benches together cost $150. And the benefit to building your own is that you can custom-fit them to your particular garage.

You can see both of mine folded up on the wall behind the car.

The back one folds down and is a woodworking table:

The front one is for welding, and I store a bunch of c-clamps and vise-grip clamps behind it.

You might try some of the local shelving/racking companies like Waymarc but you won't find much for $150. I bought some component legs from Waymarc and built my own bench. You could design something that folds.

Your setup is actually what inspired me to install something similar in my cramped garage. Cost was not so much of a concern as TIME is. Maybe a couple of tables could be knocked out in an hour or two, but my projects have a way of expanding exponentially in time :)
