Mmm, I think they would be great, but not worth the $200, though 2nd hand would be hard to turn down

Of course, having the right tools and workspace are a big plus.
Here is the finished product.
I use it with my 12"LB, it certainly saves your back and isn't heavy to carry around.
It's collapsible size allows storage and transport in the smallest spaces.
It's definately a necessity!!

Thanks John ... I think this might be the go. A retired guy in the club is handy with these projects (presently making a trolley for my Dob) so might put it to him.
