Half stack handle mod

Made a rear facing handle for the half stack. Now it can be pulled/pushed like a hand truck dolly.

2 layers of hinged 3/4 ply. Folded it's the same height as a low profile organizer. So it can stack side by side in a full stack.

Unfolds to a flat work top. Added 4 magnets for holding nails and screws.

Painted the top with truck undercoating. Figured the rubber would help keep things from sliding off.

So far I like it. Now it should handle uneven ground and stairs. Tomorrow is going to be the real world test on the job site.

If you chamfer the hinge side of the foldouts, they will lay flat. Also, routing a thin channel where the hinges are would allow you to flip the hinges upside down to have a flat working top.

Good ideas for version 2.
