That is an interesting concept. But I agree, not for $350. I'd be curious to see the specs on the thing (weight capacity, how much room it uses folded up, etc). I kind of do something similar now using a pair foldable saw horses and a couple of repurposed table tops if I need a flat surface and when sawing plywood I just use a couple of 2x's.

Wish they would have shown it being folded up and what it looks like folded.
I think I could get my boat to float on something like that.

I wish the plastic pieces were removable and replaceable.
I know I would clutz it and cut them from time to time.

My biggest problem would be storing it, I think I may have a spot but....

Thanks Ed for posting it.

I have one like this that does all I want and it doesn't cost $350. Also it breaks down and stores in a very small space (except the saw horses).

A whip antenna and a hole to park it in. Or a piece of pipe(pvc will do) with a large T on the upper end.

Actually I have an I-V stand in my shop... :)
It is an old one with a heavy cast iron base. Works great for extra lights etc. I usually keep a couple of extension cords hanging from the top "T".

Just think of all the things that you will rediscover when you complete all that moving. It will be just like Christmas.

Oh! It is Christmas never mind.:D :D

Just yesterday I found a new 4.5" angle grinder I bought and forgot I had. :D
I had bought it mainly to use with a carving wheel (which I have not bought yet) and the grinder is still unused.
Maybe I should wrap it and put it under the tree. ;)

The only modifications I would make to this is I would put 1 X 2's on top of the rails, so that they could be changed out. I like your idea and plan to implement it with my modifications. Also, will have a few replacement 1 X 2's with rollers so I can move some cabinets around while doing finish or trimming. Great idea and thanks for sharing.
