ABSTRACT:
A folding work platform apparatus is used on a support surface and includes a work platform table and at least three legs. The work platform table has a top surface and a bottom surface disposed opposite the top surface and a side wall disposed between the top and bottom surfaces to define a thickness. The work platform table might have a groove formed into the top surface that extends longitudinally along a longitudinal axis. The at least three legs movably adjoin the bottom surface of the work platform table and are movable to and between a folded state wherein the at least three legs extended from the bottom surface generally parallel with one another and an extended state wherein the at least three legs extend from the bottom surface generally angularly away from the bottom surface and from one another for supporting the work platform table on the support surface.
