When I used a bicycle-towed trailer to haul my equipment, there was room for luxury items such as a roll-up table. That gave me a place to put things that were really better off being kept away from the sand. That table is too big and heavy to fit with cart-based sculpture, so I thought about designs for a more portable table and came up with this. The legs friction-fit onto tenons at the ends of the top.

Both table and tool tray are designed to fit inside the cart, along the bottom. They're just big enough for their jobs.

I was still rather besotted with Gimly's ears. Although I'd decided to leave the ear motif behind, Gimly must have reached out and nudged me back onto the track. Sort of. This is one of those sculptures in which multiple ideas compete. It's a tad confused.
