This gem was given to me by my parents sometime in the late 70s I would say.
It's a Black & Decker Workmate, fairly early model thought probably not the first generation. It folds up neatly and has a metal frame that one can lean on for small or medium cuts. Larger ones I'd want saw horses.
The top was pressed sawdust or something and while it lasted decades, wasn't as durable as the steel frame, threaded rods, and plastic handles (though one of those died at the very end of the rejuventation when I turned it wrongway up.
I bought slices of red oak and proceded to mostly duplicate the original top in dimensions and utility.
Happy to have it workable again, and thanks to Mom and Dad!
