Here you go (pictures as promised)
View of underside when folded:
View of top - it has the usual clamping arrangement which is handy - also, there are some dogs which go in the holes in the top for additional clamping options:
Side view with legs folded:
The leg hinges lock with spring loaded pins. Study the pictures and you will see that the leg hinges one end have a longer pivot to allow the legs to fold one over the other. This is the long end:
....and this is the short end:
This one shows the locking pin and the pin receiver:
This is the foot before extending the leg (the bench can be used with the legs short or extended):
And this is the leg extended:
The bars which the legs pivot on are angled out slightly so that the legs are splayed out in all directions when the bench is set up. Sorry not to put up a picture of the bench set up - I'm a bit pushed for space in my workshop with a couple of jobs ready to deliver on Monday and it is dark outside.
I have to say, I think this is a brilliant design - such a shame the chap didn't manage to get someone to manufacture them longer term. There is too much emphasis on cheap stuff these days - this design is more biased towards the quality / usability / longevity of the end product rather than being cheap to knock out.
Let me know if you want any more information.
