Abstract: A workbench has a pair of rigid wooden work plates bridging and fixed to a pair of transverse support elements from which extend legs constituting a foldable stand. The work plates are each formed with a plurality of throughgoing bores into which pegs of a clamp and holding blocks may fit, these pegs being smaller than the bores so that the blocks and clamp tip when acted upon parallel to the work surface. The faces of the blocks and clamp are inclined to be perpendicular to the work surface when the pegs are thus tipped. The legs of the stand can fold parallel to each other and flat against the work table when the workbench is not in use.
