Portable, tradesman built trim bench
Evening all
I have read FH for a number of years and in that time I have come across ALOT of good ideas, tips and reviews.
Right now I find myself searching for an article that I just cannot find and I am hoping some of you all may have the key to this door.
I am looking for an article that was done and in the article there was a really kewl portable, home built bench that the trim contractor used for his chop-saw, to hold doors, to support trim for cutting and a myriad of other things.
Any one have a clue where i might find it? or maybe you have seen it ?
Thanks,
Gary

I think the article you are after is in the Nov '94 issue (No. 91). "An Exemplary Folding Workbench"

Yeah, I remember that one. Really cool, but it'd be a project to put one together!

Did it look anything like the tailgate of my pickup?
I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone,
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone;
I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone,
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here. (Phil Ochs)
