I finally finished my arbor press stand, but for the paint. I left it unpainted because I am thinking of adding features, and it's better to weld and then paint than to paint and then weld.
What should I add to this thing? I've seen little bins on on the fronts of manufactured stands, where, I assume, they are supposed to catch broaches. I was thinking of adding one, but it seems like it's a bad idea unless it's detachable, because it would get in the way when I need to put long objects under the press. I originally intended to put a shelf halfway up. I may still do that. I was also thinking of putting two strut-type things out front to prevent the press from tipping over, but I've tried the press, and I can't make it fall forward. I suppose someone with no common sense could do it, but no one else uses it, so I'm not too worried.
I could add a couple of trays on the sides, maybe 4" wide by 12" long by 4" deep, to hold junk.
