Folding work table.

[Nelsun]

Sounds good. Any photos you can upload?
Are these the Bora portamate speedhorses?
Thanks.

Clips (13mm IIRC) on 12mm ply packers to provide enough clearance for the leg ends. And the 2 doorstops down the LHS drop into the tops of the Bora legs - with corresponding circles drawn on the top side to help lining them up

Legs clipped in:

And velcro straps to keep the legs from magically expanding when you don't want them to:

I wouldn't want to be firing this loose in the back of a van but it packs away taking up as little space as it realistically can.

Great.

Many thanks for the photos. Looks like a really neat solution.

Fitted a kitchen for my daughter this weekend. Here is my portable bench in action

@paulrbarnard I envy your tent. Something like that would be so handy for the copious rain (and being ginger when the sun makes an appearance) in Shetland. Sadly, the wind up here would have it away before you could say, "oh fu..."

This was the gazebo’s last outing. It survived through the copious use of duct tape this time, but was essential to keep the sun off it has been blistering the last few days.

This is the underside of my home-made MFT. The battens hold the table on tight to the top of the Centipede legs.

I bought the bora top.

Seems to be a lot of price variation for something so simple.

I wouldn’t recommend toolchimp.

Tabletop and other items were due to be delivered on Tuesday. Chased it up on Wednesday was told Thursday or Friday latest. Didn’t arrive on Friday.

Customer service manager told me yesterday it would def be here today. Not looking good. Not even got a tracking number.

Wasted the last 3 days and Tuesday waiting around for a delivery. Crazy in 2023.

to be honest ,i had the same issue with FFX and this week with Spear & Jackson
FFX delivery next day did not turn-up - promised next day, did not turn-up , apparently order cancelled!!!, so reordered again - promised friday did not turn up - and eventually got on saturday , compensated by FFX for inconvenience.
Spear & Jackson, told order would be here before 1st July - still not arrived

agree crazy - but happens all the time

seems that amazon are one of the better companies for deliveries , they give dates and almost always arrive on the date or more often then not before ...

Amazon just failed to deliver something to me today. First time that’s ever happened.
