Default carving stand almost done!
Today I made an adjustable carving stand like the one SLIVERS N DUST posted on this forum. I cut part of it from an old REESE trailer hitch that i scrounged from a body shop junk pile. I bought a 36" piece of 2x2" square tubing from a local discount scrap dealer. I welded two pieces of 12"x 1 1/4" angle iron facing foreward towards me on the top of the big tube. I drilled the angle to take a 3"x 5"plate and welded a modified upside down coupler and ball to this plate,and then bolted the plate to the front of the angle, Now I can use any jig that I want to put on the coupler. I am going to make the wooden base tomorrow. I will make a holding jig like Ron Davison posted that he made, and also a shaving pony that can be mounted in the same holes that the coupler and ball mounts in.
So far not counting the coupler and ball I have $13.00 in it.
