Title: Foldable Worktop/Kettle stand
Post by: cruiscinlan on November 19, 2015, 06:28:40 PM
Sadly I am now houseless and have had to cram myself and all my accoutrements into an apartment.

I had an old desk I used bring outside and put my boil kettle and gas ring on top of which I had no room to bring with me.

Now I could always use the kitchen table, but its partly glass and has an odd mechanism under it for widening/shortening it which makes me wary of using it. 

Is there any sort of sturdy stand or work top I could use that would also be compact and fold away?

Help lads, I miss brewing...also gf gave me the boot, help me get my mojo back!!

Handyhardware.ie seems to be the cheapest at €33.29 http://www.handyhardware.ie/product/20154/WM301-Workmate-Bench. 

That's the best I'll do I take it?
