How to Make a Hidden Tool Storage Workbench

In this video we're making a really cool workbench that hides a whole bunch of tools under the table when you don’t need them but rotates and/or flips them up to the top when you do need them!

I work in a 2 car garage and while I'm very grateful for the amount of space that I do have, it still gets cramped at times between all the tools, materials, and clutter from working on multiple projects at once. To help with that I decided I'd like to consolidate most of my bench mounted tools into one workbench that also doubles as an infeed or outfeed table when I need it to. I also added drawers at the bottom to help with storing accessories and materials related to the tools mounted to the table (pocket hole screws anyone?)

This workbench turned out awesome and is definitely one of the coolest things I've taken from an idea to reality so far.
