STILL LIFE SET UP

TOP
ROLLING LEGS
ADJUSTABLE HANDLE
JUST SET STILL LIFE FRAME ON TOP
GOES DOWN TO 33"
GOES UP TO 48"
     I found this rolling, height adjustable table on line for $79, free shipping. It holds 200 lbs. It adjusts from 33" to 48". It comes in a box so you have to put it together, (only around a dozen nuts and bolts). I strapped my PVC frame (courtesy of Carol Marine's blog), to a piece of plywood and just set it on the top of the table. It is very sturdy and I love that it rolls around because of the close quarters in my studio.
     You can order one of these from Craig's Fordable Tools.
     I just found out that Craig's is out of these right now. I looked on Amazon and found 3 that look similiar. The first one is around $60, second one is $100, and the third is also around $60 but says will only hold 50 lbs.

  4. Thanks so much, I just ordered one of the 3 tables you recommended from Amazon. I was having a lot of trouble raising and lowering my PVC box...very heavy!

  5. Great info, James. I was so impressed that I ordered one this morning as soon as I saw it. Can't wait for it to arrive-in the meantime, I plan to reorganize my entire studio(-Isn't that the great thing about starting a new year?) Thanks so much!

  6. James- have enjoyed seeing your set up for still life. I wanted to share that I got a laptop table that raises and lowers for about $20 at Office Depot. Serves the same purpose and an option if folks want to check that out.

  7. Yes Kathy and there was another person who made a comment on Carol's blog that she found a sort of hospital bed table that she ordered from Amazon for $50. I like this one that I use because it is very "stable and sturdy" (rated at 200 lbs.) so it doesn't tip, wiggle, etc. Thanks for offering yet another option.

  10. Thanks so much for sharing and for saving us a ton of money on a heavy duty tripod. I ordered the table. Now if I can just tear myself away from plein air painting.
    Hope you get back out soon. I love your plein air work.
