    My new free workbench.....

    I have a garage where I do most of my scrapping stuff, but also use the garage for parking cars (apparently, that's what my wife thinks they are for).
    I recently found a folding ping-pong table.....it kicks a** for breaking stuff down. It's a big flat surface when in use, and folds up neatly and compactly for storage. I even mounted a drink holder and some tool clips to the edge for my necessary beverage and tools. It was a major lightbulb moment for me. Better than scrapping the base!

    Great idea, but I thought that those tables are pretty flimsy especially if you ever get water on them. Do you think it's going to withstand all the banging and other abuse associated with taking thing apart? Thx

    Just e-waste right now. If I bang on it, I'll use the concrete floor. Plus, I can reinforce it underneath....plenty of room.
