JamesinLA Inner circle Los Angeles 3400 Posts	Posted: Aug 16, 2011 08:38 pm 0 Looking for a collapsable table (maybe with wheels?) that I can use for a stage show for the portable buzz sawing illusion. Any suggestions? Thanks. Jim Oh, my friend we're older but no wiser, for in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

Build two 1x4 frames approximately 30" x 12" with a 1/2" flat side and an open side. Use a strong piano hinge and connect them on the open side short end. Attach 8- 3/4" threaded pipe floor/wall mountings to the inside of the open part. Use a latch or two opposite the hinge to allow closing and storage of the legs and saw inside. What you have at this point looks like two tubs, connected on the short end by a piano hinge. The pipe ends are inside the tubs, one in each corner. Then make 8 threaded pipe legs that will thread into floor mountings. Put a cap on the legs to make them floor friendly. These parts are best from Ace or an Ace Hardware type store. Cover with Pleather or Naugahyde, something that will look nice. Chad Wonder (Chad Wonder Magic, Inc) Past President SAM 37/IBM 131 (Mile High Magicians) www.idomagic.com www.iDOMAGIC.dev

Built to hold the weight, sized correctly, collapsible for transport and much more comfortable for the volunteer to lay on than a flat surface. Thanks for sharing!
