All,

I'm going to be sitting down to design a new bluing tank stand to replace my old setup, along with the burners. What would be something that everyone would look for on the stands, to make them more desirable, or work better? I have some heat saving tricks, now, that I'm going to include, and to have them so they partially bolt together in that they could be shipped, but that's about it. I generally build these to hold two 40" tanks, on four legs, instead of two, out of 1-1/2" angle iron. Two stands, one for the hot tanks, and one for the cold rinse. Any input would be appreciated, and once they are designed and fabricated, I'll post the photos on here. It may be a few months, but they'll get built by fall.
