Static frames are better than retensionable

I don't know what all the hubbub is about static frames not being as good as retensionable. I have static frames that I've used for years.
I have a 20x24 that has helped unroll lots of backing and platen tape.
3 20x24's that have done an excellent job of organizing the heat press station.
Where would my Newmans be without the 23x31 drip rack?
And last but not least a hard working basket for my new 54" dryer.
I must be missing something because I just can't see retensionables doing that.

Thanks. My wife always tells me we don't have enough money to buy something but failed to say anything about making it. So now we have a shop full of redneck creations.

G Dammit......In the last 2 years I've had the glue come off of about 8 aluminum statics.
And what did I do?
Gave them to my neighbor who welds and tinkers with aluminum stuff.
Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I just KNOW he won't give em back !!

Here's one hiding away under the work table keeping some rarely used platens off the floor. The screws are just as tight today as the day it was made.

that stuff is rated at more than 5 antlers up but when this system was developed we never thought we would see this level of cool.
Creativity, whimsy and down right cool.
Now if you can convert your next static to a star gate or worm hole you be da man!

I did use one as a pretensioned squareicular reversed phase time conduit initiator but lost it in 2018. When we get there I'll post pics.

Statics are only as good as the mesh you put on them. Gotta admit though my next booth may be Statics bolted together and you can make quick inspection tables out them with a piece of white plexi and some led's.

Thanks, I really needed the laugh, a tremendously sucky day so far... So, what about wood statics?

Damn it .. i just sold 50 of them to a local garage printer that had no clue... would have been fun to have had a huge bonfire with them. A fitting end to such a pita.
