Stands, no tables for me *Pic*

Purpose built stands, no table because I want to be able to reach under the boat easy and see what it going on. Site down the hull looking for imperfections in the lines, etc.

Now the draw back is there is no place to lay your tools. You will walk around the boat HUNDREDS OF TIMES to get a tool. Of course you going to walk around a lot anyway. But I sometimes I just squat (not as easy as it used to be) and duck under rather than walk around.

Of course you could put a board between the stands to use as a shelf. I was never smart enough to think of this till now :( But one of my next projects is going to be a roll around cart. Probably 2' square or 2' x 3'. Just a flat top and a couple of shelves for stuff. Put it on wheels and just tall enough not to hit the boat. It will stay under the boat where I can reach it from both sides.
