    Go to Staples and look at their small brown tables. The legs fold up and they are very sturdy. I use my 15-91 on it and it does not bounce.

    Hey Pat,

    The 4' tables? Or the 30" personal?

    I ended up with a folding card table, vintage (not a featherweight one, just a regular one) that I'm going to use for travel. I will modify it as necessary. It was $10.

    I have a couple NON portable tables. They were from a home ec class room. The are called 3 in one tables I think sorta like 3 in one oil... I digress. The tables are VERY sturdy I think you could drive a truck on one.

    Until I started cutting holes in this one (not the card table, the one I wrote the tutorial for) I think you might have been able to park a truck on this one too. It's about 80 - 100 lbs. The wheels are held on via a plate that's screwed into the sides with 18 screws per plate, plus the posts for the wheels.

    DH hauls freight for a living, and I asked him how much he though it weighed. I said I thought 80, he said probably closer to 100 before we started cutting. So I said, "so... I shouldn't have flipped it up on its wheels from its back when I picked it up?" He sighed and reminded me of my impromptu chiropractor appointment I'd had to make later that week. Oops.
