Greg...

A dimensioned sketch would fill the bill nicely. No need for photos. Is the sketch something you can send digitaly or is postal easier? Thanx so much for your help!

~John [/QUOTE]

I drew up some plans of that same type of stand on my TurboCad if you could use that type of file. Or e-mail your address and I will send the plans by snail mail.

I appreciate your offer and would like to see what you have. I don't have AutoCad ( I wish I had it) so I'll e-mail you my address. I have made a lot of changes to the stand that you are referring to. Such as improved cradles with built-in padding (opens to 14" , hinge and fold-up design, built in handle when folded, cradle storage on folded unit, etc. I think having your plans to start from, I could easily make the necessary changes without starting from scratch. Thanks, Greg

Here is a photo of the unit I made.

Enjoy...

Status: offline 		It is taking a little longer than expected to draw up the plans for the stand that I offered to share. There is a lot of detail which has to be shown but I should have everything together by late tonight. I will get these out to you sometime Monday. Make sure I have your e-mail address if you want a copy. RCU does not send e-mail info out with messages. Thanks for your patience. Greg

I know, I keep the place too clean. The plans for the clean shop/ house are simple: I got rid of the wife.....she left her stuff all over the place

P.S. the plans are actually almost done (all 10 pages of them). I will start sending them out tomorrow

See ya, Greg

Status: offline 		Well the plans are finally complete It took a lot longer than anticipated because of all the detail and drawing it in a way that can be sent through e-mail.

Anyway, does anyone know of an easy way to e-mail these out? There are 11 pages, all in bmp type of files. I can put them in a zip file, but I am not sure if these could be opened on everybody's CPU"s. Plus I have about 50 copies to get out. So if anybody has an idea, please let me know. Thanks.

My suggestion would be to Zip the file.

Again, thanks for all your work on this.

Status: offline 		I'm no computer guru, but if you have a photo editing program that will allow you to save / convert those BMP files as Jpg, or possibly .gif
they will be MUCH smaller. BMP is the most bandwidth hungry file I know of.

After saving them as JPG, then zipping them may make them even smaller and most everyone has some form of winzip on their computer. (Dont know about the Mac and Linux guys?)

Thanks again for your hard work.

Dwight
