NOTE: TABLE TOP MADE OF V PLYWOOD WIDE SIDES RAISE WORKSURFACE TO COMFORTABLE HEIGHT HANDLE ON EACH SIDE —- slot fits over top rail on sawhorse ATTACH CHAIN WITH #6 x 114" Fh WOODSCREWS NOTE: overall height is 31" handle chain prevents legs from extending too far Portable Assembly Station My workshop is small. And I don't have room for extra workbenches and assembly tables. So I built the portable table you see illustrated _„ above. It can be set up for use and then quickly taken down and stored along the wall of my shop when it isn't needed. The top of the table is simply a plywood box that's notched at the sides. That way, the top can can sit securely on a pair of folding saw-horses. A handle located on each side makes it easy to lift and move for set up and storage. The sawhorses are designed to fold for easy storage. The legs are two pairs of 2x4's angled at the top end and bolted to 1x4 top rails. The two top rails are then connected by a hinge, like you see in Figure 1 at left. To assemble the sawhorse, you'll first want to screw tine hinges to the top rail and then remove the hinge pins. Next, bolt the legs to the rails and then re-install the hinge pins. A piece of chain keeps the legs from extending too far. Now, when you pick Lip the sawhorse by a top rail, die legs close up. Just squeeze the top rails together and the legs spring open. Arnold R.
