As with all designs, the stand has evolved over time in light of user feed-back, and as better building solutions have been found.
Stainless steel fittings with Wood / Metal threads are used for all joints. This will ensure that the stand can be repeatedly assembled and dismantled without the joints becoming lose or being pulled out of the woodwork.
The stand is constructed using a hardwood, normally beech, which ensures a strong and long-lasting product.
The stand can be set to a range of heights in the range 22 to 31 ¼ Inches (560 to 790 mm) to suit the users seating arrangement and preferred working posture.
Providing that the stand is not being set at the extremes of its height range, the user can position the arms slightly forward or back from a central position to allow greater leg-room or better stability.
Dual pegs are provided at one end of the stand arms. These can be used to hold a standard 29 Inch frame in position while working.
Single pegs at the other end of the arms can be used to prevent a frame from being pulled off the front of the stand, while allowing a longer 39 Inch frame to be moved from side to side allowing work to be centralised.
The basic stand is available for £110.
REMOVABLE PEGS
Earlier versions of the stand had removal pegs. These screwed into position and were intended to provide a firm anchor point for an optional shelf, or for the user to remove the odd peg to allow alternative frames to be used with the stand.
If the user would like this facility a stand is available with all 6 peg removable for £140.
EXTENDED CROSS-BAR
A longer cross-bar is available designed for use with the 39 Inch frame. Owners of existing stands can purchase a longer cross-bar for an additional £20.
