Nothin fancy, but, made of Walnut, Luan, and a dowel rod. It slices, it dices,............ OH, wait a minute whoops….. OK, here we go: It’s a food tray, it’s a laptop tray, it’s a snack tray that hangs in a tree…Wait, there’s more: it stands by itself in the ground… :) Only 7 payments of $19.99….. OH wait, ..might have to add a few more payments with the new, updated, in-the-ground tech..!!! lol Wait, .... scratch the 7-payments statement… lol
Anyway, a place for your towel, cuz you know you’ll be needin it when yer grubbin down on some really sloppy, barbecued ribs & hot wings. Also has a cupholder fer yer cold one, whatever that may be, my choice is them blue mountains, ice cold Coors Light, but, I’ll drink some Guinness, and Budweiser, and some, well, I’ll drink bout anything, AND, a holder fer yer hot sauce, Tabasco, Franks, or whatever that may be, my choice is Franks, Tabasco, well, just about any hot sauce, long as it don’t burn a hole in me esophagus..
This is my version of a Personal Picnic Butler. I’m calling it a Multi-Tray.
Thnx for lookin, and any comments, good, bad and/or ugly… Appreciate all of-em.

I like it Roger, Now you need a real picnic butler to bring you the beer.
Failing that it looks like a great place to veg out and enjoy said beer and don’t forget the ribs.
Good luck in the contest.

Thnx everyone. I really appreciate all your responses. I did forget to put the size, which is 23-3/4”L x 13-1/2”W plus 2-1/2” for the dowel for the towel…, and 2”H. Like I said, nuttin fancy with 1/4” Luan top & bottom. I just screwed it together in case I needed or wanted to cut it down. It works well on your lap and/or on the arms of an outside chair. Hangin in the tree was somethin I thought would be cool for an outdoor event. And yes, I did enter it in the contest. I do like Pauls idea of a real Butler bringin me some o them good, cold, blue mountains… hehehe

Nice job Roger way to think outside the box or the tray but you better put a patent on it or in a few months you will see it on a late night infomercial but wait we heard it here first so you have at least 12 people you call to the stand in your favor all kidding aside I know you say you dabble but I will say you are a master at ever idea you put to life great work my friend, thanks for sharing and if you don’t mind I may have to make my own version for my mom and her computer.

Great looking tray, Roger!
I’ve got blossoms on the Ghost Pepper plants, Caribbean Reds and Habeneros already popping out, in the garden. Going to make some serious hot sauce!
