Gents,
Can’t help to notice how under-emphasized shaping stands are considered as a tool. There’s nothing worse for the entry-level shaper to suffer thru than lightweight and wobbly stands.
So…SHOW US YOUR STANDS! And help the newbies.
See attached pic…mine are made from heavy duty X-mas tree bases filled with wire-reinforced poured concrete. The upper arms are fully/individually adjustable for height and leveling. Very functional. These are my third generation.
Will love long time…
XMAS tree stands! Man that is the best idea I have heard yet! thanks, can’t wait to see some others!
Check the archives and photo page.Nuff said…I think you’ll think.Herb
hi craftee,
how big is the width of your present horizontal extremities?
how deep from max height to bottom ?
Regards
I have limited space in my garage, and don’t want to have to store a pair of big heavy stands in between surfboard projects. I just use a couple of saw horses. It isn’t the ideal situation, but I’m just working on my first board. I’m learning as I go along. For the rails I put together a couple of simple holders that clamp onto my workbench. I used paper towels for padding.
Mine look like craftee’s except they are screwed into the + or the X frames for legs
