I have made 2 extensions for my multi power-tool bench. One piece serves as an extension to the circular saw and router area and the other one as an extension to the front side of the router.

Beautiful-looking workbench, Steliart.

Extensions are always a good idea - especially on something so compact. If you hinged them underneath, they could drop down to the sides, staying with you all the time.

And I'd suggest a 'gateleg' arrangement for each, to support the corners/ends, rather than risking the 'see-saw'/'teeter-totter' effect of a central leg.

Yes I did thought of that, but for practicality reasons would have not worked for me. The extensions sit on L shape rail angle so is very sturdy and rigit, the leg is just to support the leveling hight.
