A work bench which is easily disassembled for storage or moving to a new location and may be attached to a support surface such as the side of a cargo trailer, van or a wall. The work bench includes a pair of work bench frames is connected to a support surface by a pair of mounting standards spaced apart from one another and mounted to the support surface. The pair of work bench frames each comprise a work bench support flange, at least one cross-member hanger along with at least one crossmember. The work bench frames are the supports for a work bench work surface. There is also provided a bench support extension connected to the work bench used as a support for material larger than the work surface.

A folding stand with a pivoting securing mechanism to secure an object to the stand is disclosed. The stand may include two rails in the same horizontal plane and a securing mechanism that pivots about an axis which is perpendicular to that horizontal plane. The securing mechanism may be positionable in a locked and an unlocked position. The securing mechanism may include one or more arms that extends over a portion of the object in the locked position.

A pipe fitting stand for supporting a pipe during a work operation includes a table, and a plurality of legs coupled to the table and movable between a deployed position and a stowed position. The pipe fitting stand additionally includes a vise coupled to the table for supporting a first portion of the pipe, and a support positioned on a side of the table opposite the vise upon which a second portion of the pipe is supported. The support is adjustable relative to the table, thereby adjusting the orientation of the pipe relative to the table.

A mobile project center system is presented that includes a center track having a pair of center supports and a pair of legs connected to the center support. A pair of benchtops are connected to the center track and move between an extended position and a retracted position. A pair of braces connect to each benchtop and provide support between the benchtop and the legs. These braces are locked and unlocked using a brace lock controlled by a brace control positioned just below the benchtops. A shelf extends between the opposing pairs of legs that transitions from a folded position and an extended position. The benchtop includes a plurality of openings in a grid pattern that facilitate attachment of various devices such as a joinery block. The system is used to perform a number of operations and converts between a plurality of configurations.
