Hello Tomo,
I made a portable woodworking bench for traveling to trade fairs. I used the plan from Roy Underhill’s book, The Woodwright’s Apprentice. I made it six feet long but it could be any length. I made the legs slightly thicker than the plan. It has worked out very well and everyone that has used it is impressed. Instead of just a hook I made a leg vise for the left front. You can add a bottom shelf and stack tool boxes on it for weight and stability. I didn’t include the tool well as they don’t work out for me. Roy has other plans in the book that you may want to build also. I have made several of the other items in the book but be advised that his plans are sometimes short on details. I don’t have an issue with it but a beginner might have a problem figuring things out. If you want to go that route I can send you a picture of my bench and extras. –Jim
