Jamie, If you don't mind the extra size involved, I always found that a door hangers bench with folding legs and a separate flat,solid core door,registered with dowels, as a top, can handle almost any on-site renovation. Use a 1 3/4 door, drill some holes in the top, add a bench hook. Plans for a door bench can be found in Tauntons Door Hangers Handbook pg. 103. Also handy would be a power strip added as per the plans. I've used a variation of this idea for many years and have been quite happy with it. Good luck, Bill Swales
*Jamie,I do a lot of oddball jobs, remodeling, etc... and the easiest, most cost effective, fastest set up time, portable, collapsable work table/bench I have found is a simple one. I use an old hollow core door (from one of my remodeling jobs) and set it across two folding plastic sawhorses. The sawhorses (bought at HD) will hold 1000 pounds, and the hollow core door slab is incredibly strong. The door is free, and the sawhorses were about $36.00 a set.If you cab get an old door from one of your jobs, great. If not, they are pretty cheap to buy. They are very lightweight, and I can set up and tear down this setup in about 2 minutes or less.Just a thought...James DuHamel
