What do you do when you need an eight foot shop table, but all you have is an old bedroom dresser? Improvise! Here's the dresser with wheels (castors) attached and five feet of piano hinge screwed on the back with about 20 screws. A sheet of plywood was cut lengthwise and one piece attached to the piano hinge (hanging) and the other piece screwed onto the top of the dresser to extend the workspace.
Voila! Instant shop bench! Sturdy, movable, holds lots of shop tools, and stows out of the way when not in use. The hanging part sits level on exactly 2-½ cinder blocks. Just need to add some leg supports that work better than cinder blocks. Some sort of sawhorse maybe.
