Thank you for all your kind comments.
You may have noticed I finished off the Butterflies on my own table stand. For my "Crackers about Cheese" one I have decided to try out my 'new to me' Lowery stand:
You can see I am using it on the third hole up from the bottom, this makes it a couple of inches higher than my table mount. I am so far finding it comfortable. I tried protecting the work from the corner clamp using some foam but that just makes the clamping less steady so it has been removed again.
One of the things I was not too sure on was how well it would rotate for tying off on the back:
Loosening off the top of the side bar clamp proved to allow it to rotate and it is well balanced so it stays put without having to apply any friction by slightly tightening the lever. I've added some thin sticky rubber pads in four places under the base to prevent it from marking my floor because I noticed the head of the screw underneath was slightly proud and unless I put my foot or something on the plate it wobbled
Now it doesn't and I can work on it without having anything resting on the base plate
So far I like this (modified) Lowery stand
