Menards sells a wooden folding workbench that goes on sale periodically for about $30.00. We picked one up that has been working well for us. We toss a plaid over it to hide the plastic bins that we stack on the shelve underneath it and use the top for display space. Al though it's not intended for travelling, ours has held up well although I had to add a couple screws to hold things together a little better after a couple years.

Diagram for making a take apart trestle-type table for displaying your wares. Great for Renaissance Faires but equally at home for Mountain Man shoots, Civil War re-enactors, or any sales venue.

Norm Abrahms on the New Yankee Workshop just made a portable sheep-shearing table that looked like it might be useful as a display table or a worktable for stand-up projects. I figured some small wheels could be added to it to make it even more mobile. Go the the New Yankee website to get plans.

A recent "Marshall Fields Direct" catalog offered a matching "X" chair (about $99.99 and table (*$49.95). The chairs look a little unstable because the base is fairly narrow, we just bought one of the tables which looked more stable with a wider base and will work as a stool. Although it flexs a bit when I sit on it, so I would not recommend it only for someon under 250 pounds in weight. The Smoke & Fire Catalog recently started carrying similar chairs for $79.00 as of 5/2003
