[6bloodychunks]

kinda proud,just wanted to show this off.

for a long time,
i have been wanting to make some sort of table that would stay attached to the bike
but fold completely out if the way when not using it.
so i could cook without squatting lol
and any other reason i may need a table lol

and thanks to the magic of zip ties and velcro one wrap.......i have succeeded

Looks very functional--is it made from a cutting board?

its made from a plexiglass shirt folding board,
not sure its exact terminology,
i sprayed white plastidip on it although it looked fine transparent,

i mean,its not going to support 50 pounds or anything,
but ive put my heavy fishing tackle bag on it and it was fine.

the rod is 1/4" threaded rod that fits through a slot on the table,
and a barrel nut on the threaded rod keeps the table from sliding down the rod,
and is easy to level by spining the nut up or down to adjust the angle of the table.

if i could upload the video i could show how fast it sets up and takes down,
can put it up ready to cook,
or down and secured tight with no movement or rattling,
in under 5 seconds.
i need to hook up with my 3d printing buddy to design a little nicer looking way to do it.

cant wait till it warms up a little so i can go try it out lol

Looks great! I have always been wanting to design a chair with a built in urinal, that way I can take it to a bar and I never have to get up.

I have always been wanting to design a chair,..

I want to design a tripod for my seat and seatpost.
I'd simply remove the seat and seat post from my e-bike, then slide it into the tripod and clamp it with a quick release clamp.

It would work the same as the seat post clamp on my ebike, but I wouldn't need to carry a whole chair, just the tripod.

I'd end up with a really comfy tripod chair with a $200 seat on it and a memory foam gel seat cover.

I wanted a stool to work on bikes without squatting or kneeling. This collapsible stool is rated for 400 pounds, is much more comfortable than a bucket, and can be adjusted up to 17 inches in increments of about 2 inches. When I'm standing, it can serve as a table for tools and parts.

I've got one too.
It works great, it doesn't collapse or extend out all the way when you pick it up.

It weighs 2½ pounds and folds up quite small.
It says it's good for 400 lbs, but I'm not sure about that?

I had to stick a chunk of foam on top for my boney ass.
I can't sit on a bucket or wooden stool without a cushion either.

Shore lunch! Nothing like fresh caught fish fried up in a (heavy) cast iron pan. Just make sure the table don't tip. Same for the bike.

nothing heavy in my cooking arsenal lol
i try to save as much weight as possible,
due to my large mass taking up a good chunk of the weight limit of my bike hahaha
