The apparatus may be constructed of a first apparatus top section and a second apparatus top section which may be pivotally connected together by a center support structure. The apparatus may have two sets of legs. A first set of legs may be movably attached to the center support structure and a second set of legs may also be movably attached to the center support structure. Each set of legs may also be attached to the apparatus top via a first and a second leg support extending from the legs to the apparatus top sections. A shelf connection may be placed between the first and second leg support wherein, a shelf attached to each pair of legs the shelf may have a first section and second section, wherein the sections are attached to each other at opposite ends of the shelf connection. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An A-frame foldable apparatus, comprising: a first apparatus top section and a second apparatus top section movably attached to a center support structure; a first set of legs movably attached to the center support structure and a second set of legs pivotally attached to the center support structure; wherein each set of legs comprises a first and a second leg support extending from the legs to the apparatus top sections; wherein a shelf connection is placed between the first and second leg support; wherein a shelf is movably attached to each pair of legs, wherein the shelf comprises a first section and second section, wherein the first and second sections are movably attached to each other at opposite ends of the shelf connection holding the legs in a fixed position; wherein the second apparatus top section is split into an upper apparatus top section and a lower apparatus top section. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the upper apparatus top section is movably attached to the center support structure; the lower apparatus top section is movably attached at one end to the second set of legs; wherein the lower apparatus top section has a set of leg supports attached to the end opposite a movable attachment, wherein the set of leg supports attaches to the lower part and the second set of legs. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 2, wherein the lower apparatus top section is positioned to receive an apparatus saw thereon. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of apertures located through the first apparatus top section and the second apparatus top section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 4, further comprising a series of plugs removably placed within at least one aperture. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a single aperture placed in the second apparatus top section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a sink configured to be placed within the single aperture. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a tub configured to be placed within the single aperture. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a router hole opening placed within the second apparatus top section. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a router connected to the underside of the second apparatus top section, wherein the router blade sticks upward through the router hole opening. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the lower apparatus top section further comprises a first support structure having a pair of side supports and an end support; a pair of cross supports located perpendicularly across the pair of side supports; the upper apparatus top section and the lower apparatus top section are attached to the pair of cross supports. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 11, further comprising: a screw located within each one of the pair of cross supports, wherein the screw is operated by a crank located on one end of each of the pair of cross supports; the upper apparatus top section and the lower apparatus top section movably attached to the screws. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first apparatus top section and the second apparatus top section are comprised of a plurality of rods, wherein the rods are spaced apart. ### Claim 14 An A-frame foldable apparatus, comprising: a first apparatus top section and a second apparatus top section movably attached to a center support structure; a first set of legs movably attached to the center support structure and a second set of legs pivotally attached to the center support structure; wherein each set of legs comprises a first leg support and a second leg support extending from the legs to the apparatus top sections; the first set of legs, the second set of legs, the first apparatus top section, the second apparatus top section, the first leg support and the second leg support creating a truss structure; wherein the second apparatus top section is split into an upper apparatus top section and a lower apparatus top section. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 14, wherein the truss structure allows the apparatus to become stronger when a load is applied to an apparatus top. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 14, further comprising a shelf connection is placed between the first and second leg support; wherein a shelf is movably attached to each pair of legs, wherein the shelf comprises a first section and second section, wherein the first and second sections are movably attached to each other at opposite ends of the shelf connection holding the legs in a fixed position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 16, wherein the shelf applies tension to the legs increasing the load capacity. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 14, wherein the supports counteract the outward pressure of the legs when a load is applied. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The A-frame foldable apparatus of claim 18, wherein pressure is applied to the ground through the legs and supports keeping the apparatus tops in an upward position.
