Amazing DIY Transforming Workbench Project for Makers

This episode showcases the DIY mobile folding workbench project that helped me develop the skills and confidence to build the tiny house A-frame getaway cabin that is the inspiration for this channel. This is NOT a step-by-step instructional how-to video for novice woodworkers. Rather, it is meant to inspire ADVANCED BEGINNERS OR INTERMEDIATE LEVEL woodworkers to level-up with a challenging project that they will be able to use for years to come.

Finding an ideal place for woodworking, model making, jewelry making, leatherworking, electronics, and other DIY or crafting projects is not always easy. This space-saving, roll-around work center instantly transforms any garage, driveway, or basement into a creative maker space. It features a sturdy workbench (about 8-feet by 2-feet), with ample storage for tools and supplies, as well as built-in lighting, a power strip, and a detachable vice. And when stored away, this folding workshop occupies less than six square feet of floor space.

You definitely need some foundational knowledge, experience, and tools to successfully complete this project. However, you DO NOT need to be a master craftsperson. To prove it this video includes a critique of my own work, pointing-out some of the flaws, imperfections and mistakes I made. So don't let the fear of failure stop you from building your own. Challenging yourself and making mistakes is usually the best way to learn and improve. Always remember, "Just Because It's Not Perfect, Doesn't Mean It's Not Good".
