This table puts my canister stove at the perfect height for sitting in my chair.

I know it’s not something that many people would care about but I thought I’d show it any ways.

Maybe just a novelty.

Note: It is so light that it would be dangerous if a person was not careful or used it in very much wind.

Therefore, I made the carry bag so that it clips under the tripod and a rock can be added to help some with that.

 

Also, it could be made so that two or three stakes could be added at the feet.

Or maybe something attached to the feet so that weights could be added.

This is cool Tim. I’ve been thinking about how to do something similar. Where did you get that type of coroplast? The stuff I found in a craft store was thinner (flimsier) but also somewhat heavy because the baffles were really close together.

Do the screws just sit inside the arrow shafts or do they connect/screw-in somehow?

Thanks.

The coroplast/ corrugated plastic is from advertisement sign, like used for business or political signs.

I just free handed the shape and cut it out with kitchen shears.

For the screws, I took one of the crossbow heads to the big box store and found screws the right length and threads to match.

I made the three holes in the tabletop with an awl and forced the screws through, so they don’t come out but turn freely to screw, securely, into the crossbow shafts.
