I seem to get some strange projects!
For the last couple of days I've been making a display stand for woodworking show purposes.
It needs to display the item complete with a few pages of publicity.
It needs to be stable, rigid and yet be light enough to carry maybe from car park to display.
I mainly used 9mm mdf lipped with some oak off cuts
On the back are shallow dados with mdf braces glued in. The supports hold the panel at 30 from vertical to allow the punters to see the goods. Some more offcuts of oak form a couple of feet.
So what is this all for I hear you ask?
A few month ago I evaluated some digital readout scales that were available in the US but not in UK.
I found them very good and yet economically priced and the best feature is that the display is remote on about 4 foot of cable.
This means the scales can be fitted onto machines in inaccessible places with only the readout in view.
Here is one of the 900mm scales fitted to the display stand.
This is the read head with the bracket used to pick up on the moving part of the machine eg saw table fence.
and the display which has magnets on the back as well as screw holes to mount almost anywhere.
I'll be at The European Woodworking Show if you require further info.
Hope to see you there.
