That's beautiful! How big is the top? Do you haul this back and forth? I would love to have something like this but since I have to haul all my wares and displays in one trip I have to stick with boring folding tables.

I'm always in total awe of artsy/craftsy/handy folks. I come from a very artistic family, yet apparently those genes went haywire when they assembled in me.

Top is 3'x5', the recycled top from an old desk buried in the shed. I planned the frame to fit it.
Framing is all 2x3s. I use those when I'm not doing anything super structural because they are cheaper. 2.5" coated sinkers are my framing nail of choice.
4-10" pneumatic wheels, on sale at TSC in January for $5 each. Axles are 1" threaded rods. Everything is held in place with a few nuts and washers.
All the paint was leftover from other projects.
Big umbrella from a closeout place for $10. It's a bright, limey green. They didn't have red...that was my thought, too.
This is a self-serve stand, so I'll have a money box screwed down onto the top.
Total cost of this project <$45.
Thanks for the encouragement! I love making stuff like this happen!
