Well, that and the liquor stores are really effed up....and the folks that I ran into while I was there, for the most part, kinda had a shitty attitude which doesn't help the image that sticks in my mind.

Won't be near Evanston other wise I would. Flying DEN to SLC, then driving to Tooele

Yes, because I can have multiple wives when I'm there HAHA

Decided to create a workbench for woodworking and other projects. Ended up with the solid door core for the surface, and the workbench will be attached to the wall and fold up. Still working through the leg design, but I think 1" or larger gas pipes will be used for legs. This way the legs csn be removed cleanly. I did not want the legs attached as the door will be next to a parked car and I am worried the legs will protrude too far. Also no one offered a good way to attach removable legs.
But of course life is getting in the way of finishing this little project.

Why not hinge the legs to the bench top so they fold up with it?

Another option (one I did) if there's room is build a storage cabinet under the benchtop (like half as deep) and use it as the stand.

This bench is going against the side wall where my car is usually parked. When folded it should be flatter than 3". If I leave the legs on I am worried the kids will either bump into them or ding the car door. I have another bench but it's boxed in on 3 sides and anything large is a pain to work on.

Solid core door = 1 3/4"
1 1/4" sub frame
1" pipe legs hinged or pinned to recess into sub frame = 3" thick bench when folded up and pipes recessed so car doors can only bump wood. Can't really bump at all if bench hinges up to wall when closed instead of down when closed.

Very good configuration in limited space and only have to handle 1/2 of door weight if hinged to wall. Legs are automatic if also hinged or pinned.

You think the door needs a subframe?

Not necessary, 1 1/4" is negligible for support anyway, acts as buffer/bumper for steel legs when folded closed, some depends on door itself. I prefer 3" frame on all benches but a good rigid solid core door can handle most homeowner duty jobs and save space. I would use three legs along the length regardless of sub frame.

Sayin' howdy.
