I speak fluent Texan
tmacklin, Texas born & raised here. Grew up on a working ranch. We "repurposed" just about everything. By the tine we scrapped something, it was used and re-used until it was used up.
I said "ghetto" for the benefit of our northern neighbors on the forum.

Out here on the Liberal Left Coast, folks here would call that "up-cycling".
In the Central Valley of Cali, we'd just call it Okie...a John Steinbeck reference.

Central Texas. Robertson County, population <18,000. Due north of Bryan/College Station, home of Texas A&M University. The Powder Burn in Hearne was in Robertson County. I never made it, due to my work schedule at the time, but I understood that it brought out a decent crowd from the Houston Area. We should probably get this thread back on track now. One of the things I have found very useful to have is a folding card table. Sometimes you just need a little extra space to lay things out, and don't have room in your work area for a permanent table. I got mine on sale at True Value Hardware. Besides the legs folding in, the table top folds in half to leave ne with a package about 2 'x 4' x 3" thick. I can hide it behind my desk, toss it in the car, etc. The larger 6' long tables are just too awkward for most of my needs.

+1 for the folding card table.
When I have an R/C aircraft on the building bench, I use a card table for building rockets.

I picked up a cheap knock-off of Black & Decker's Workmate for $5 at a garage sale. I can crank open the gap to match the diameter of the rocket I'm working on. It folds for transport, so I bring it to launches for a rocket prepping table.
