Nowts a bother, made a stonking job on that mind, makes my bits of tatty timber effort look even more shamefull!

I was thinking about buying one, but they cost over 30pund and just as much to send by mail. when i was clearing out the shed i got a sudden brain-storm and after 2 hrs it was finished its light, fully adjustable and folds neatly together.
