A foldable bench for converting a normally hand-held electrically powered circular saw into a table saw, wherein the bench is easily portable when folded and highly stable when in use. In particular, the bench employs four foldable leg members having floor engaging extremities movable from a first position wherein the leg members are contained entirely within the bench housing to a second position wherein the floor engaging extremities are positioned laterally beyond the lateral extremities of the upper surface of the bench to thereby provide a compact, portable unit when the leg members are folded and an extremely stable bench when the leg members are extended. Simplicity in design is achieved by extrusion forming the upper surface from a single unitary member having means for slidingly mounting the portable hand-held circular saw and containing side grooves for receiving auxiliary attachment fasteners. The foldable bench is further characterized by the provision of a unique hinge structure permitting the leg members to be retained in the highly stable laterally extended position and to be foldable into a position wherein the leg members are contained entirely within the bench housing.

An approved self-supporting form for use in constructing walls is adapted to be reinforced with cementitious materials poured therein, while securely supporting additional building materials on the outside thereof. The walls of the forms themselves are generally comprised of resilient, insulating materials, such as foamed plastics or the like. An anchored securement member is embedded in the concrete interiorly cured in the forms, and also extends to the exterior of the forms, where it is adapted for receipt of conventional attachment elements such as nails or screws. A plurality of the forms may be used to construct walls, much like conventional building blocks. Then, finishing cladding materials such as panelling, wallboard, or the like may be safely secured to the exterior of the forms with such attachment elements, even if the actual foamed sidewalls of such forms become damaged by heat or the like.
