Some people after seeing my lathe stand said I should send some pictures to Teknatool. At the end of December I sent them some pictures of my lathe stand. I received a response a couple of day's ago asking if it was OK to put some of the pictures on their web site. I said sure. I looked a today and they were there. Kind of nice that they liked it enough to put it on their site. http://www.teknatool.com/Gallery/Gallery.htm Now I just need more time to use it. Hopefully in the next week or so.

Thanks.

Wonderful stand Alan. Congratulations on the publicity.

Do you have any larger pictures?

I found this description to be a bit cryptic though:



This custom made stand combines with DVR XP weight over 830lbs. It is constructed of a couple of mild steel 1/2" rod ends with tube adapters in a piece tubing. It is attached with clevis pins.


Can you explain the construction?

Thanks again to everyone. Jim yes I have to agree that they description is very cryptic indeed. However you have to remember that the contact I believe is in China so there is a bit language Barrier.

Here are a couple of photos.
