Abstract
An article support stand for removably or permanently mounting an article holder on the stand includes a main body which may be formed in the shape of a truncated pyramid. The body has the ability to contain a moveable weight which shifts the center of gravity when the stand is repositioned. The body has a mounting side, and first and second support sides for supporting the stand on a workbench or table top. An elongated bracket defining a T-slot is mounted on the mounting side of the body. The article holder includes an elongated member configured as a T-shaped rail which is receivable by the bracket of the stand so that the article holder may be mounted on the stand. The stand may be rotated 90 degrees from one support side to the other so that the mounting side and the article holder mounted on the mounting side may be disposed in different mounted positions.
