1 Sheet Workbenches: Build for take-home tool library?

Chuck found plans for a cool foldable, portable workbench that’s made out of a single 4x8’ sheet of 3/4" plywood! I’m wondering if it’d be handy to build one or two for the take-home tool library? That way, someone doing a home project would have a little workbench for doing their work!

Love this idea, very cool. I could also see it used for some mobile work stations for peoples projects in the Makerspace too!

Would this be a class we could teach also? To a non-woodworker, it would be cool to learn, but looks pretty intimidating.

It could be a class @sesmith08 , but I wonder if a few woodworkers want to try making one or two first to see what the process is like? Once the Woodworking Collective is meeting regularly, I’ll send it their way!

This looks so cool! I’m another non-woodworker who would enjoy learning how to make this.

Is there any plans for a wood cnc in the woodshop? I could see these being built really quick, otherwise building patterns and using a pattern bit by hand would still be relatively fast.

Desire yes, plans no. I’m looking for grant opportunities to get a wood CNC for the space, because it’d be SO USEFUL!
