Flip-Top for Stationary Tools

Over the years I’ve had a variety of workshops and work benches. When I was a young apartment dweller, my workshop was a 3 x 3-ft. broom closet (for real!). Today, I’m lucky enough to have a shop with plenty of elbow room. But in between, most of my workshops consisted of a workbench loaded with tools, tucked into the corner of a garage or basement. Check out this flip-top workbench with drawers if this sounds like you. The revolving center section of the workbench gives you a double platform for your bench top tools. — Spike Carlsen.

You can also make a plywood storage rack and customize the size based on your own needs to store away in this awesome garage space saver.
