Hand building the Sullivan bank lion out of wet clay, with an estimated weight of 800# or more requires not only some mobility method, but something to raise it up to working level, at least the most important portion of it- the face.<\/p>\n

So I designed and built this custom made modelling stand out of heavy steel for this task.<\/p>\n

I used 2″ x 2″ x 1\/4″ steel angles for the 4 legs, 2″ x 1\/4″ flat steel for the diagonal bracing, and heavy wall 1″ tube for the top and bottom with which to bolt the top and bottom plywood to, and to hold it all together nice and secure.<\/p>\n

I have the steel portion finished, and primed now as shown, and Tuesday the heavy duty 4″ casters with a capacity of 550# each will arrive. Next week I’ll laminate a plywood top and one for the bottom using 3 layers of 3\/4″ thick plywood.<\/p>\n
