Hi All, Thank you all for the explanation and I venture to say that I was not the only one with the question in my mind. Looked up your place in the Atlas, Diane. Things Canadian interest me more than most - the two most important Canadians live in Windsor, Ontario - guess I should count

When I was flying to take a Lier class, I had the same dilemma. I ended up with a simple, but spendy, solution. I took two of the larger (10 x 15) Instand tables with the foldup tripod legs. I put one on each side of my frame, and the middle was completely open for working. The Instand
