Matt, thanks for comments, very helpful and your workbench looks fantastic. As for the mini workbench I meant its wider at 800mm than the other 2 are deep at 700mm. I've decided that it would annoy me though, so made it smaller. The Laura Kampf video was part of the inspiration for this. Are you suggesting for the frame and legs I go for 4 x 4 instead of 4 x 2 on the bigger benches. My only concern would be the weight increase on the fold up bench.


I was planning to use some sort of thick rubber at the bottom of the legs to ensure even contact with the floor because my garage floor is pretty uneven. I'm hoping by doing that it will stabilise the legs and ensure the bench stays level.


Sideways - I did consider multiple plywood sheets, but I decided to sandwich redwood in between to give the vice mounting better grip because I have found that screwing into plywood doesn't always grip as tightly as I would like.
