Abstract: A clamping stand having a workpiece tray that includes a planar surface that is adapted to be clamped in the tray. The planar surface includes two spaced-apart parallel surfaces joined together via a V-shaped channel. One of the surface includes a notch which is adapted to receive an arm of the clamping member to clamp the workpiece either in the V-shaped channel or on top of the planar surface.

Abstract: A new Clamping Stand for holding and clamping a workpiece in a fixed position so that work may be performed on the workpiece. The inventive device includes a vertical support member, a leg assembly extending downward from one end of the vertical support member, a workpiece tray provided at an opposite end of the vertical support member for holding a workpiece, and a clamping member movable relative to the workpiece tray for clamping the workpiece in the workpiece tray. A stirrup, adapted to receive a foot of a user of the stand, extends downward from the clamping member, whereby downward movement of the stirrup causes the clamping member to move downward against a workpiece positioned in the workpiece tray thereby clamping the workpiece in the workpiece tray.
