We’ve covered one- and two-flip workbenches here on Make:. This type of bench, which allows you to mount two tools per flippable surface, is a great way to save valuable shop space.
Jimmy DiResta was inspired by the two-flip wooden bench that Elisha of Pneumatic Addict made. But, of course, DiResta had to besta with a three surface flip-top.
With all of the potential weight, Jimmy went with a welded square-tube steel frame. I love the weld-in pull pins that he used as the locking mechanisms for the table tops. We all just need to flip a table sometimes.
What will the next generation of Make: look like? We’re inviting you to shape the future by investing in Make:. By becoming an investor, you help decide what’s next. The future of Make: is in your hands. Learn More.
