Folding Workbench with Casters

Attach the top and bottom to the dividers and sides with 2" screws, three screws per joint.

Check the project for square by comparing opposite diagonals and adjusting as needed. Attach the 2x4 back frame to the top, bottom, sides, and dividers with 2-1/2" screws.

Attach the longer shelf first with 2" screws, three per joint, then add the shorter shelves. Shelf height is flexible and more shelves can be added.

Measure the inside opening at the front, back, and middle to find the narrowest point, and cut the drawer to fit that measurement, factoring in slide and side clearance. Build with 2" screws and attach the plywood bottom with 3/4" brad nails. Install on the slide below the back 2x4.

Screw the caster wheels to the base of the cabinet. Attach the plywood tabletop to the cabinet's back 2x4 with the piano hinge, fully exposed when the top is hinged down.

Cut one end of each leg at a 5° bevel. Hold the tabletop level, place a leg beside it with the beveled end on the ground, and trace where it meets the underside of the tabletop; cut that line at a matching 5° bevel. Install each leg with a 3" hinge, then add a magnetic clasp (flat piece on the tabletop underside, magnet facing up toward it) and a hook-and-eye closure to hold the assembly closed for transport.
