Over a year after Errol and the kids shipped the plates, I'm finally getting around to building my Ernie roller.

Ernie's base, while straight forward and simple to construct, required a commitment to floor space I couldn't afford to make.
So, I made my base so it can be folded flat for easy storage and transportation.
It's made, primarily out of 1 1/2"x 1/8" angle and 1 1/4"x 1/8" angle with offset piano hinges welded on the 4 uprights to allow it to fold flat.

This way, when it's not in use, I can stash the table and the stand behind the workbench, and the other parts in an ammo can.Paul K. Dickman
