  • Patent number: 5937924
    Abstract: A workbench having multiple sections, each variable in width, connected together to form a work surface. A movable tool platform is located on each section, so that the platform is movable over the surface of the workbench section. A tool is mounted to each of the tool platforms, such that the tool is moved forward for working on a workpiece and backward to allow the front of the workbench to be used as a work surface. Thus, the workpiece is placed at the front of the workbench, and each tool needed for work on the workpiece is then moved, in turn, to the front of the workbench where it is used to perform work on the workpiece. The workbench can have a separation between the sections, to allow shavings and other waste material to fall below the work surface of the workbench and out of the way.

  • Patent number: 4233863
    Abstract: A foil applicator tool for use in construction of stained glass panel assemblies is formed by a body having a plurality of grooves each of which have an upper portion with a base formed by shoulders for supporting foil in strip form. The upper portion has parallel side walls which closely receive the foil strip. Each groove has a lower portion centrally located with respect to the upper portion. The walls of the lower portion are parallel and closely receive the marginal edge of a stained glass panel and foil to fold the foil about the edge of the glass when it is pressed down into the lower portion of the groove with the foil interposed. The grooves extend over a substantially planar top surface of the tool body and over a curved end surface.
