I've been collecting pix of fixtures on welding benches, could post some of those.
The fixtures are pretty inovative, and make it a lot easier to clamp parts and tools in place,
or hold items in position.
Not exactly a contribution to build a product for sale, altho some of them might be
candidates for people wanting to outfit their shop better.

Curt....I can spin a full size Harley frame on that setup and my rolling stool legs straddle the outrigger fine , even with the t-section on the end..... can fit, weld , clean, prep, prime, and paint, with out removing it .....I made the mounting points in the exact shape of my motors mounting flanges so that I can clean them to bright shiny metal and paint and the area where the mill sits is clean and I get a good ground....i all so use those neat ss grd straps, that they use in mil-spec equipment.
