Hmmm, now that you mention it 3 legs make a lot of sense. Dangit, I just bought 2 sets of 1" pipe and flanges tonight, guess I will have to go back.

The wall cleat to door attachment will be with 7 hinges at about 12" spacing. A bit overkill but i got all those ginges for $5 at Restore when I picked up the door. I think the fasteners will cost me more than that. The cleat is a solid poplar board I picked up and is same thickness as the door, so it should be strong enough.
The cleat to stud mounting will be with 1/4 x 4 screws from Lowes. I think they were for bolting garden box timbers together. I found info for thise bolts that says they should be plenty strong.

And yeah this is a hobby bench, so it won't be used like a heavy duty pro carving bench. Damit, getting exited to finish this project.

With the third leg and cleat/hinges you are using it will get the job done. Also consider how secure it in closed position. You hinging it up or down when closed?

Up. There is concrete skirt around the garage and it would be in the way. Two bolts will lock it in place, may add a rope or a way to lock it too just in case.

I’m back in the Springs.
