WORKSTAND AREA
An area for the workstand is finally coming together. I just finished some hangars to hold the baseboards and I thought I'd post some pictures. The workstand sits to the left of the main workbench, at a comfortable height to work. Any small items from a machine that need to be removed and worked on can be handled on the workbench, which is generally kept clear. Janey found a perfect table having adjustable height, which the workstand sits on.
The space is on the north side of the basement and will be nice and cool in the summer, but a little chilly during the colder months. Janey got a rubber mat for the floor under the table, which helps to keep feet warm.
Above the workbench are several pieces of test equipment that I also use for working with electronic equipment. Occasionally helpful with sewing machines, too. A soldering iron is available whenever needed. There's a ready computer monitor which makes working on desktop computers a little easier.

Hanging behind the workstand are the various machine baseboards. With each baseboard are the templates used to make the cutouts in the baseboards. The pegs will help to keep things organized. Before I made these hangars, the baseboards and templates were in various places. Now it's all together. The empty peg is for a Kenmore baseboard, which I still need to make.

Shown in the workstand is an Emdeko machine, a recent acquisition. This is a really heavy machine. I may need to re-adjust the pivot point for the frame. I'll post how that goes.
More soon,
