I love it. Is there anything other than the seattube/seatstay joint keeping the supplemental legs from pitching forward or backwards?

The bottom of the legs remind me of all the folding church tables, tens of thousands, that I set up and took down during the 40+ years of church ministry.

But that would make the whole thing worth $20, which is $10 more than it's worth.

In my woodworking estimation, the plank is worth more than $30. So if it could be purchased for $10, it would be quite the deal on the plank.
