Removably mountable temporary work surface

Abstract

A removably mountable temporary work surface is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the removably mountable temporary work surface includes a toolless mounting bracket, a spacing bar, and a hinge affixed to a work surface. The toolless mounting bracket may be configured to mount to construction framing. The spacing bar can be configured to extend or retract for use and storage. In various configurations, the work surface may include a metallic material and include one or more mechanisms to secure contents to the work surface, such as magnetic tethers. The work surface can be sized to form a substantially contiguous surface when mounted to adjacent framing posts.

The following is claimed: 
     
         1 . A removably mountable temporary work surface, comprising:
 a mounting system;   a spacing bar; and   a work surface connected to the spacing bar by a hinge;   wherein the work surface is sized such that when the removably mountable temporary work surface is mounted to an exposed wall stud, a second removably mountable temporary work surface may be mounted to an adjacent exposed wall stud to form a contiguous surface between the two removably mountable temporary work surfaces.
