Setting up a traveling work bench.

[Shelly]

So at this time I have nothing, no equipment or torch even. I want to set up a traveling work bench that I can set up both in my glass area and pack down to take with me. All I am looking at is doing soft glass. So a simple torch would be fine. I do own lots of 5 gal tanks so that is what I want to use. What ever I put my rods in will have to be able to travel. ( Will only take a limited number with me at any one time.) Definitely working with a limited budget. When I travel I will be working outside or under a sunshade. Most of the time set up will be in camping conditions. ( I am a reenactor, the torch is not period but the working of the glass is. )

Any ideas that can make my life easier? Any must haves?

My traveling setup is a Hothead torch, TV tray table, 5lb propane tank, bucket of annealing bubbles, welding rod carrier full of glass ($5 @ Harbor Freight) and my tool bag (old purse).

Nice and simple. Will check out Harbor Freight tomorrow. I even have a nice sturdy wooden tray here. You have been a huge help. Thank you

What group?
There are a few of us active in the SCA.
Currently I have a piece of plywood painted black that I setup on a pair of sawhorses.
I have equipment in a large tool box.
Tools in the top, glass in a tool roll under the tray.
My hot head, hose and such are in a tool bag I picked up at the hardware.
It could have been home depo, sears, lowes, or Ace

I have a seperate box for my chainmail, weaving, and other crafts.
