I made one of Rogier's T-systands this spring for when i am doing marine woodworking and i must say it is very useful when working in a small space and have to carry everything down a dock.
Mine is not as nice as the ones that he makes but with the shipping to the states it was to expensive ( i am quite cheap ). I kind of feel bad that he is not getting compensated for his idea and also for me using the pictures he posted to make mine so i would like to thank him for his great idea.
I'm glad the concept worked out for you. I wonder how longit took you to make one, and what materials you used.
would love to see the results.
I made it from maple plywood and it took a while looking at the pictures and about 3 hours to build with most of that time figuring out how to make it latch properly. I left out the hand hole and the groove because i did not think i would use either one. As you can see in the photos that it fits nice and tight and it worked great the couple of times that i used it.
that's a beautiful piece of counterfeit. Why did you use an alternative grid with the holes, any specific reason?
You did not really deviate from my original design, have you got any suggestions for design improvement though?
Rogier
I don't have an mft and don't plan on getting one any time soon and i also don't have the clamping elements or any dogs so when i made the grid i just spaced the holes so i could use the rail clamps, so for me the spacing really was not important.
I am glad that you like it and no i did not change much except for the things i already mentioned. As far as design improvement i can't see anything that could improve on the design that you already have, i feel that your design is the most useful and durable, that is why i copied it.
I used it this morning on a small job that i was doing and it came in very handy, for the same task in the past i would either have dragged my miter saw stand out of my trailer to use as a bench or fought with the piece trying to balance it on the trailer floor, so thanks again for sharing your ideas.
