If you were closer, or if you're passing Camberley / can organise Underground Railway delivery, I have a hatful of computer server rack sliders (heavy-duty ball bearing slides), could be Just Right for your sliding drawer / table - welcome to a couple, if so? I used a pair each for big drawers (full of Metrology) under one of my workbenches so they're up to the job, not THAT difficult to cut down and reassemble if you need to shorten them.Had some left over parts after i repaired the door on the teardrop. I have storage under the bed and find the rear compartment a pain to get too. So a hatch would be ideal and hopefully a slide out 'drawer' that can be used as a table can be added. Progress so far, basic hand tolls and bought nothing for it yet

Some storage and a counter top in the dark room.
Not perfect but the cupboards were ****ty when they were installed in the old office at my parents place and they haven't improved. One can't complain at them though as they were free in light of it being converted into a granny annex.
Room isn't quite square either so made cutting the tops interesting. They're not perfect but they'll do with a bit of trim / sealant in the gaps.

I've rotated one of my 7" grinders 90 degrees but the other way, its so much nicer to use for a cutting disc.

Think it was Metabo that did them with rotaing handles years ago.

Auto correct by the looks.
Thought you may be getting your own back on the ones who type draw instead of drawer. AdventuresInMetal

It was yesterday I made it but...
Previously I had made a wireless charging phone holder for my bike but, probably foolishly , it was made to suit the phone I use and no other was likely to fit.
I previously had a bought one but the problem with it was I have rugged phones so they are thicker than normal and are not held securely with the side clamps so you need to use the rubber cage and pull it over the corners. That can be quite awkward to do with gloved hands.
So machined a couple of bits of alu and anodised them.
Bored some holes in the original holder and fitted the parts.
Now there is no way the phone is coming out and it should be fairly universal and hold any phone I have or am likely to get.

The phone holders themselves are supposedly waterproof but they don't provide protection for the phones. That is fine for me because my phones are IP68.@Hood Is your original phone holder water proof, I am thinking of making a holder for my Garmin Drive 50 sat nav so I can use it on the bike. Currnet is an old Nuvi 1370 with Givi case, but the maps are getting really out of date now which is a shame as I prefer it to the 50!
The one I made is definitely waterproof as I robbed the charging pad out of a bought holder and then encapsulated the electronics with some Raytech Magic Gel.
