portable workbench


Here's a few photos of this project , Ive been wanting to build something portable for quite some time now and started this a few weeks ago.
There's a few festivals I attend each year where I could sure use it for simple repairs and setups. Just changing strings in the feild seems like such a hassle so I thought Id give it a shot.
Im still tweaking away at it. Im working on securing the table to the saw horse's for stability. It came out in the shape of a coffin to belly up to the bass. There's a couple of eyehooks underneath for a bungi If needed. Also installing stops at different intervals for adjusting the angle.
Got any helpfull tips?

Jake's Bass Clamp is the way to go! I've never found a solution that was more stable for working on basses..


Edit: Here is the thread discussing it..
