I am looking for an adjustable work table. I know hotpoint and BG engineers use them, but how do I get my hands on one? I have searched the internet for companies that make them but no joy, so any suggestions from those engineers would be apreciated, Thanks in advance.
Re: Cooker tables
black and decker work bench, just as good.
or you could do what i done today..asked customer for a couple of chairs,
he duly returned with these sculptured tree type chairs.. i thought what the hell go for it..
to be honest they were quite good nice and heavy very stable..pity about the 7inch scratch right over the seat area where i moved cooker round so i could access rear panel..
he was one of those arty farty type customers and i think he got quite excited about the scratch..something like mother nature meets repair man type thing..whatever..anyway cooker fixed excited customer and me £90.00 richer…
maybe time to buy a workbench as theres not many arty farty customers out there..

Thanks Chris,
not sure that answers my question, I was rather hoping to find the wooden adjustable picnic type.Re: Cooker tables

Well you no doubt spotted the table I made in that link Chris gave you, did you? If not then take a closer look. Built through necessity at there being no alternative then or since. B & D Workmates are the closest ‘off the shelf’ tool you can get but their downside is big, bulky and non-adjustable height means often it is of little use.
You could however combine a Workmate with your own DIY type platform extension to allow more flexible height adjustment. E.g : Marine ply platform approx 80 x 80 cms with 4 chrome 25mm tubular kitchen unit type supports screwed into the corners. Each tube having several holes drilled at 2.5 cm intervals with a metal peg to vary its height anchorage. Then 4 corresponding holes drilled into the Workmate platform and job done!
