I just bought a nifty commercially made version this weekend, the nicest
I've seen.  Nice and heavily built, it can essentially close down to zero
thickness.  This estate sale had it mounted to a bench, but mine will go on

Previously I've seen lots of the lighter weight ones, and bought a wimpier
one, in the box, a few years back. (Can't find the pic)
