Model Stand Topside Mechanicals (Accessories)
A 'must'' in developing the James Howard Co. model stand was the engineering of some sort of failsafe mechanism to attach a hand bar (safety rail) to the elevated platform. Foremost in the approach to the design was safety and strength; next came simplicity and 'unclutter'. After several fits and starts, what we settled on can be seen in the animation (above, right).

Be sure to click 'Replay' to get a nice look-see of how it works.  Once we assured ourselves that this particular pin and socket design would work without fail, we tested it on other topside props, such as might be used in art classrooms, some whimsical (bike and saddle), others logical (hand-rail and monopod stool) but all of which, we hoped, might make life drawing classes a little more than just the 'same old same old.'

Bike Stem and Pin (bike not incl.) $89
Saddle Stand (saddle not incl.) $169
Safety Rail $179
Monopod Stool $159
