I figured this would be a common thing but the searching
that I've done has shown no such product.
What I want is a foldable metal stand, rubberized on the
bottom and top for the sake of raising a cutting board up
from a too-short counter and keeping it from sliding
around.
They would
be made in various sizes and heights to match
the varying sizes of cutting boards and cooks.
More expensive models would feature variable height and
width.
Ideally, the cheaper basic model could fold small enough to
fit in a knife bag but I'm not totally sure that would be
possible.
If you know of any existing product which serves that
purpose, PLEASE post a link to a vendor's site!

It drove my builder nuts but I had the kitchen
benchtops installed an extra 100mm (4in) taller than
standard. |

But you're only 4' 11"...an eye level chopping board, how convenient... |
|
| |
//What I want is a foldable metal stand.... |
|

That's starting to sound like an East Asia ironing board, thin foam rubber top, and you'd have to put some non-slip pads on the feet. See linq. |

//I had the kitchen benchtops installed an extra 100mm (4in) taller than standard// - we had 2" of extra height on the worktops we put in in our kitchen on our last house. This was a compromise though, as we both do a lot of cooking but are not the same height. In general, all worktops should be installed about 2" higher than the 'standard' height as people are generally taller now than they were when the 'standard' height was set. |

A wooden wine box works great for this. Just turn bottom
up on a bar towel and cover with another towel. A divider
across the interior makes it much stronger. Then you can
carry knife bag, extra bar towels, etc. In the box. |

I see you've mixed up my length with my height,
[nmrm]... it's a common enough mistake. |
|
| |
4'10 from front to back, that is seriously obese. |
|
| |
I think you're being seriously obtuse. Just sayin'... |
|
| |
Few people realize that Delia Smith suffers from
acromegaly, and is actually 7'6" in her bare feet. Her
cookery programmes are filmed in a special kitchen
in which the fixtures and fittings are about 10%
larger than normal. |
|
| |
That statement can be disproved because she does not present programmes in her bare feet. |
|
| |
Ah, but those "shoes" are actually just clever
makeup. |
|
| |
I wonder if that is why Julia Child had that hunch
back in her older years. |
|
| |
I believe Julia Child was of normal height, but was
born too low and therefore had to stoop to fit her
legs in. |
|
| |
You would think that, having been born higher than the
rest of us. |
|
| |
I was born at a very early age. |
|
| |
Was your mother present for the delivery? |
|
| |
It's unclear whether [Max]'s mother was his mother or
if he was really the product of an earlier [Max] and
one of the servant girls who apparently gave birth to
him, after a bit of experimentation in the stables. In
any case, it's the only way the Brits could ensure a
bit of hybrid vigour in their bloodlines, I suppose. |
|

Yes, we've been genetically impoverished since we
transported all of our great scientists, philosophers,
athletes, artists and musicians to the antipodes. We
mourn their loss to this day, and are deeply envious
of Australia's rich culture. |

Yeah, thanks a fucking lot for Julia Gillard... though
she's Welsh, so I'm not sure if you would actually
claim her? |
