Any ideas?

Quick Google search says it is likely a B&D Drop Leaf Workmate.

I can’t find anything on it either. Looks like an interesting concept, though.

Thanks JayT, I don’t know how you found it so quick, as I have spent a lot of time trying to track that sucker down. Much appreciated!

Looks like it should have been a pretty good seller. Appears it would have been very useful for a lot of applications
