Help!: Work platforms

[mart08]

Hi guys, need some help finding a folding platform for my cutters etc. been around usual DIY stores but they only do 600mm high, i need something waist height.

[MrSpoon]

i got a second hand plasterers spotboard off ebay for £8.50, and just use a piece of ply wood ontop, works a treat, holds my wet and dry cutter, nice and sturdy
tho the stand was a bit too small i got an old pair of crutches and cut them up and slotted them over the spot stand legs and hey presto instant height raised, ah im in a good mood ill go take a picture

Pure genius, will look on ebay for table and crutches!!

[MrSpoon]

the crutches were a nice snug fit so no guaruntees all the spot stands will be the same diameter, tho any cheap steel tubing will do the job, old steel curtain rail was my first option till i discovered the crutches fit perfectly

haha nah i was more of a itsa bitsa fan myself, tho a friend of mine had a blue peter badge which she gave to me as i thought the bar staff at local pubs/clubs in town would see the funny side to it and give me a free pint instead of the usual rubbish free entry to museums! funnily enough it didnt work!
