Quick little diy table with my hdx storage box

[camartin188]

Hey all.
I made a simple 36” high table for cooking on. I’m always a big fan of using what you got. So I made some table legs to prop up the lid of my “kitchen” box.

Looks good and simple; and it likely takes less packing volume than a seperate table.

Enjoy!

Great idea!

Thanks. Keeping it simple is the way to go

I like it. You can bring a lot less if you can use everything multiple different ways.

Slick

I like it. It reminds me of the "Leg Assembly" kit that was available for the surplus aluminum medical cases that would turn them into tables:




I still have this setup in the garage, but it's bigger/heavier than I need at the moment.

I have seen that setup and really wanted to get those legs but could not find them.

Great idea. Only thing I'd do different is add some sort of thermal protection under the stove.

You know Coleman made a stove stand for many years, they show up on ebay although some folks seem to think they're made of gold. They're surprisingly strong and the later model aluminum versions don't weigh much.

The updated version of the Coleman Camp Kitchen includes a stove stand that is intended to be attached to the main kitchen table, but which can also be used separately. (Which I usually do since on uneven ground it works best to have it decoupled from the other table legs.)



Seen here on the RHS under my kitchen box.
It's pretty sturdy and stores in the kitchen table "suitcase" (although it could also be transported in a separate bag like the cheap fold-up camp chairs...

Herbie,
I have one of those old aluminum med boxes. I had no idea there were legs for them.

I hadn't seen that one, it's pretty nifty. I've just got the old school collapsing legs that expand open and hold the stove. I tried to find one of the Ozark Trail camp kitchen when they were on clearance last year but never was successful in my area. I usually just use the tailgate, a picnic table (if I'm at a campground) or my stand and I have a roll top type table.

My holiday present to you, then.
