I\u2019m partnering with my friends from Kreg Tool Company to show you how I built this folding workbench to help create an extra work surface without taking up extra floor space when it\u2019s not in use.<\/p>\n<p>While I don\u2019t have an issue with overall space in my shop, I do have a lack of counter space in there.  It makes it a bit difficult when my husband and I both have things we are working on.  He had told me once that I would be really cool if we could have some extra work surfaces, but not something that ALWAYS took up a ton of space.  I thought up ways to bring his suggestion to life and came up with this!
