: Nicest design I've seen is a pair of folding PVC tripods. Fast construction,
: durable materials, & inexpensive. I'm sure there are pictures &
: plans in the archives --but my quick search didn't pull 'em up. I'm sure
: somone else can find them.

I searched all over tonight and can't pull up that link, perhaps it's gone.

Nick's got a stand I think in the book that'll work, designed for building, but would work for storage too.

I use use plastic saw horses, they are really pretty sturdy and cheap, and spring clamp on carpeted cradles for the boats that I build. Then I can use the saw horses for other uses too.

If someone wants the PVC tripods bad enough I think I can remember how they were built well enough to give you a start at that project.
