When much younger, I worked in various automotive garages and machine
shops. This very stand was a staple in many of the old timer's shops.

I don't - I stay up and write another chapter in the book.
No matter that it's taken 18 years to get it to print.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. ;-)

I'm reminded of a table someone provided a link to, a couple months ago,
that incorporated a brakedrum in the design...

And, "hired man" is better than "slave"... unless you like to kick
yours, or want to sell it.

I've got about 3 of these things, in different sizes. I'd be absolutely
lost without them. Making your own with a nice heavy casting at the
base (brake drum is great) is much better than anything lightweight you
might buy.

While you've got the welder out though, put a T bar handle on that
thumbscrew, not just an oval.

We used the misnomer "Third Hand" and my personal fav was "Big Dummy".
Although the latter term often led to confusion when three warm bodies
responded to a call for the "Big Dummy". :-\

When on the farm we had a number of these, Dad called the "Mates".
Instead of brake drums on the base we used plough disks.
Thinking back, plough disks where indispensable. They made BBQ's,Bases
for all types of contraptions, chook feeders, dairy heaters etc.

When working as a machinist, these were an absolute given on the cut-off
end of the bandsaws.
