Portable work station

[Cealan]

This is a project i made with my brother for his final year exams for product design. The finished piece is in the Limerick museum for this year.
An interesting and demanding project, the pictures show from mock up to finished piece!. The idea behind it is to have an easy portable yet sturdy workstation. A work station for example you could carry up a scaffold & work with in awkward areas.
Features on it are
1 - spider-box so once you plug into the box you have 3 power points to choose from eliminating leads in the work place.
2 - it is compact and foldable for easy transportation
3 - anything orange on the table has a function. On the side of top surface the table can extended. This is for working with larger materials and sheets such as ply or mdf
4 - the work top is designed on an idea from working with the festool MFT. We stepped the top into different sections so you can run your plunge or skill saw through & your saw blade wont mark the surface
5 - retractable grill underneath to place hand tools or power tools on
6 - retractable plastic containers for screws and bolts etc
7 - it is made out of a profile aluminium which is light and strong. The profile allows clamping much like the MFT takes clamps sliding through the edge profile. Here you can clamp off the side of the work top or even on the legs.

Well done!  That's a really nice build.  In the last photo, it looks like both halves of the top are folded down, but the legs are in different locations.  Are they hinged differently on each side?

Thanks for sharing.

Nice job.
I did have to do a double take on the pic where you have the support rails extended.  I was having a vision migraine (they last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes) and the stretch of concrete between the table and building looked like you had an extension with a frosted glass surface.  I could not figure it out immediately.
