Roller trestles

[Toni Ciuraneta]

At work they reorganized the conveyor rollers system and removed some of them that were thrown to the metal trash. As they were in very good state, I gave them another life making this two trestles for my jointer/thicknesser. They fold to a 2,5 inches thickness when not in use.
The wire at the bottom with the threaded hook is to fine tune its height to the exact height of my infeed and outfeed tables of the jointer apart from preventing them opening wide.

Nice repurpose. That is a good idea and well executed.

Working using tools to make tools to work with is the epitome of craftsmanship.

Excellent idea. I'm going to show this to #1 wife to prove to her that trash picking pays!
