Put some scrap to use for small projects. Attached Images
Reply:Looks good.  I made one several years ago similar to that except I used expanded metal for weight savings.  I usually don't hammer on it so it works good for me.I also didn't think about the bar on the backside to hold the clamps.  Mine is light weight so I don't clamp much to it, except to keep the project from tipping over.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build

Reply:Originally Posted by crashmcwhlyI used 3/4" x 3" round stock as permanent hinges on the back side and 5/8" x 36" round stock to thread through the front legs and inside the square tubing.  When colapsed, you can see the 36" rod stored in the clamp bar.
Reply:Has all the aspects of an efficient design.  I need to make one of these to replace my plastic saw horse and sheet metal over plywood table...   I know, tell me about it!
Reply:Slick work, very nice.  Would certainly be a better setup than what I'm using (road sign over a folding typewriter table)
