I have one of the folding tables shoottx shows, it's very handy.
I also have 4 of the Ridgid "Flip Top" stands sold by Home Depot. These things are great. They adjust for height easily so you can use them as infeed/outfeed supports for several tools. And I've used spring clamps to clamp a heavy router tabletop to two of them for an instant router table. They fold flat, about 3 or 4 inches thick total, so you could hang several of them on a pair of those big bicycle hooks sold by the Borgs. The top has a locking pin to hold it roughly flat... there's a bit of play in it (by design) so it won't catch/snag when used as an outfeed table. It naturally sits at a slight ramp/angle until your workpiece slides over it, then it levels off. This way you don't have to get the height EXACTLY right with your table saw or whatever.
Ridgid Flip Top Work Support Part number Model AC99331-2. On the Home Depot web site one of the user comments complains about the "cheap pot metal" handle on the height adjustment handle. I've never busted any and it does not look like weak metal to me; they're very similar to handles I've seen on mortising machines and whatnot. I don't know how strong this guy is, or why he's reefing down so hard... my stands lock with fairly low twist torque on the handles.
