Portable tables

[Greg Newell]

Barbara and John,

Recently Susan Kline and Kent Swafford were kind enough to send me pictures 
of Norm Cantrell's portable folding workbench. I haven't had a chance to 
build it yet from the picture but I intend to. Perhaps you could do the 
same. It's got to be better than some wobbly card table. If you don't want 
to build it I'll just bet that Norm Cantrell will sell you one.

Best,
Greg Newell
