Work stand configurable for different work areas

A mobile work stand comprising:

• a plurality of fence sections connected consecutively from a first fence section to a last fence section, wherein the first fence section of the plurality of fence sections comprises a first rail extending in a first longitudinal direction, wherein a second fence section of the plurality of fence sections comprises a second rail extending in a second longitudinal direction, and wherein a third fence section of the plurality of fence sections comprises a third rail extending in a third longitudinal direction;
• a first locking mechanism operatively connected to the first fence section and the second fence section and configured to move between a first locked configuration and a first unlocked configuration, wherein, in the first unlocked configuration, the first locking mechanism is configured to permit pivoting of the first fence section with respect to the second fence section while the first fence section is pivotally connected to the second fence section, and, in the first locked configuration, the first locking mechanism is configured to lock the first fence section and the second fence section at selected pivot angles with respect to each other such that the first and second fence sections cannot pivot with respect to each other;
• a second locking mechanism operatively connected to the second fence section and the third fence section and configured to move between a second locked configuration and a second unlocked configuration, wherein, in the second unlocked configuration, the second locking mechanism is configured to permit pivoting of the second fence section with respect to the third fence section while the second fence section is pivotally connected to the third fence section, and, in the second locked configuration, the second locking mechanism is configured to lock the second fence section and the third fence section at selected pivot angles with respect to each other such that the second and third fence sections cannot pivot with respect to each other;
• and
• a base comprising a platform and defining an opening for a passageway over the platform, between a first portion of the base and a second portion of the base, and into a work area enclosed by the plurality of fence sections, wherein the first fence section is connected to the base at the first portion of the base, and wherein the last fence section is connected to the base at the second portion of the base,
• the base further comprising a staircase, the staircase enabling access to the passageway over the platform, between the first fence section and the last fence section, and into the work area enclosed by the plurality of fence sections.
