      Hmm, not a bad idea. Though the table would be rather heavy i think.

      But you gave me something to think about, cheers ๐Ÿ˜

        OR you could make the legs as the end edges of the top, so it's then all flush when upright, without increasing the 'recess' depth ?
        Also where is the space ;gained; in the wall depth ? A ~6"+ recess projects into the house/external wall ??

          Hmm, pherhaps. I would have to come up with some solution on a hinge that could tolerate the weight/abuse the table needs to withstand.

          Unfortunately i do not have a garage to put this thing in yet, so itยดs more of a plan when i get one ๐Ÿ˜ณ But the depth into the wall is 150mm + 35 for the table itself. Just enough room to stuff some tools in there.

            I think you are losing too much space by building a recessed cavity to hold your tools. The space used by the tool recess is a small percentage of the overall wall. Would it not be better to have a full pegboard wall capable of storing more tools and incorporate the bench into that space? Just a thought. Nice visual by the way on the last one.

              I think it needs to be lockable for it to have a real function, as the rest of the walls are empty so it's not a space issue, but securing your tools may be a good reason for such a storage idea.

              If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                I think the depth of the tabletop will make it tough to grab the tools, too - especially the ones up high!

                  Maybe some type of continuous piano hinge? But don't count on drywall for support. You will need some solid lumber for the hinge.

                  I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                    Yes, thats one of the reasons. The thought was to have a bolt go through on the top and then drill a hole in it so a padlock can be used to secure it all. And space will likely be an issue, i just made the room that big for ease sakes i guess.

                    I messured it roughly and it seemed to work ok. The main thing for me is tablespace that will hold large(ish) parts and tools ๐Ÿ˜„

                    Yes, i looked for something like that in some catalogs i have but found only "puny" kinds that seemed to be too weak.
                    Also, it would be skrewed into a ridgid "skeleton".

                    Thanks for all the comments so far guys and sorry for my poor english ๐Ÿ˜„

                    You may be right, though this idea is without knowing anything of the given garagemeasurements and pretending the wall would accommodate this "setup" hehe.
                    I will ofc have pegboards aswell as i have loads and loads of tools. But this would be storage for the more expensive tools perhaps with a padlock.

                        Hmm?

                        Not sure what you mean exactly.
