Simple, really simple stand for the shop or home...

admin

I saw this and was blown away by its inexpensive cost and simplicity of design.  Wish I'd thought of it first.  Two of these are used back to back to make an inexpensive table (think closet door on top of two sawhorses....)    Oops, am I the only guy who uses sawhorses to support a door to create a really big desk?  I gotta believe I have a use for this design concept somewhere in my metal fab future.  Anybody else?

Reply:Nice idea! Always liked this design for a folding model. Planned to fab up a few to replace the plastic P.O.S. ones I have, but the plastic ones keep on lasting.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
