Homemade Portable Workbench
  Bill Hettler, Federalsburg, Md.: “I used a metal-clad door, a wheelbarrow wheel, and table leg to make this portable workbench. I keep it outside most of the time and use it to work on various projects. The big wheelbarrow wheel makes it easy to move from work area to work area as needed, and if I want I can also use it as a scaffold to paint buildings.
  “I welded up a metal frame that’s attached to both ends of a short axle on both sides of the wheelbarrow wheel, and used self-tapping screws to attach the frame to the door. All-thread rod bracing runs from the frame to the door. The table leg bolts onto the other end of the door and has a 4-legged stand that makes the door very stable.”
