The technology herein provides a modular mobile workstation with storage capacity. The apparatus has a modular shell that can be used for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, a stool and low table combination, a table and coat-rack combination, and a high table combination. The modular shell encloses a removable inner shell that can be used to store goods while traveling with the unit. Two large wheels may cap the respective ends of the shell and allow the apparatus to roll freely behind a user. A multi-use handle may also be included with the apparatus. The handle may be collapsible and may be secured to the apparatus by a securing scarf, which also may serves to hold the interlocking pieces of the outer shell together.

I claim: 1. A modular mobile workstation, comprising: two interlocking hard-shelled outer components having an open end and a closed end, each component provided with at least one wheel on a closed end thereof; a first handle; a securing mechanism operable to secure the outer components in an inter
I claim: 1. A modular mobile workstation, comprising: two interlocking hard-shelled outer components having an open end and a closed end, each component provided with at least one wheel on a closed end thereof; a first handle; a securing mechanism operable to secure the outer components in an interlocked position and operable to secure the first handle to at least one of the outer components; and a hard shelled inner component with storage capacity. 2. A modular mobile workstation, comprising: two interlocking hard-shelled outer components having an open end and a closed end, each component provided with at least one wheel on a closed end thereof; a handle; a securing mechanism operable to secure the outer components in an interlocked position and operable to secure the first handle to at least one of the outer components; a hard shelled inner component with storage capacity, wherein each of the at least one wheels includes an axle, wherein said axle is attached to an outer surface of the closed end of each of the outer shells. 3. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein at least one of the interlocking outer components has at least one turnbuckle affixed thereto. 4. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein the securing mechanism comprises a strip of material for securing the interlocking outer components in an interlocked position and having at least one hole cut therein. 5. The modular mobile workstation of claim 4, wherein the first handle comprises: an extendable shaft; and two end pieces affixed to the respective ends of the shaft. 6. The modular mobile workstation of claim 5, wherein the at least one hole includes a plurality of holes, wherein at least a first of said plurality of holes is connectable to said at least one turnbuckle and at least a second of said plurality of holes is capable of allowing passage of a portion of the handle shaft therethrough when said first handle is secured to at least one of said outer components. 7. The modular mobile workstation of claim 5, wherein the extendable shaft comprises: a plurality of lengths of shaft; and a locking mechanism operable to lock the plurality of lengths of shaft in place. 8. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein the inner component comprises a hollow shell having at least one open end. 9. The modular mobile workstation of claim 8, wherein the inner component further comprises: an interior lining that lines the hollow shell; and a second handle provided to at least one sidewall of the hollow shell. 10. The modular mobile workstation of claim 8, wherein the inner component is removable. 11. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein the interlocking outer components further comprise: a lip provided to at least a portion of the open end of each of the interlocking outer components, said lip operable to stabilize said components when said components are un-locked and stood-up with the open-end facing downward. 12. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein the interlocking outer shells further comprise: at least one first groove on the closed end thereof; a wheel having a rear face containing at least one second groove; a plurality of ball bearings positioned between the at least one first groove and the at least one second groove; and the axel is further operable to hold the wheel in position substantially against the closed end of the outer shell. 13. The modular mobile workstation of claim 12, wherein each wheel comprises: an outer wheel covering having an outer surface for contacting the ground when the workstation is rolled; a central wheel disc; an outer wheel platter around which the outer wheel covering fits, the outer wheel platter resting against the central wheel disc; and an inner wheel platter provided to an innermost side of the central wheel disc. 14. The modular mobile workstation of claim 13, wherein the inner wheel platter has at lest one groove in one side thereof. 15. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein the handle further comprises a removable handle. 16. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2, wherein each wheel diameter is larger than a length across the outer shell closed end surface to which its attached. 17. The modular mobile workstation of claim 2 wherein, when at least one of said outer shells is stood-up with an open end facing downward, said wheel is further usable as a rotating seat.
