For those contemplating the purchase of a work stand, but don't like the prices and the singular use of that tool there is good news. It can also be used to clamp things like gardening tools in place for sharpening, something that is difficult to do on a bench-mounted vise due to space limitations. Attached are pics of a tool with a kidney-shaped blade known as a "sod lifter." This tool is only useful when it's razor sharp. Clamped into the jaws of a work stand, one has easy access to all sides and angles of it for filing and finishing with a stone. It's also great for shovels, hoes, and other implements.

Good idea! Definitely using this method next time I need to sharpen my mower blade or pick axes. I wish I had a clever use to contribute to this, however thanks for the tip!

Right now, my workstand is being used to dry my tent after a rainy night camping!

From a few years back, as an umbrella for the charcoal chimney
