Painter bench
The Malterbank , also known as Malterbock , was a measure of wood that was intended for use as fuel for smelting works in the Harz Mountains . It was beaten according to Malter , measured and placed in so-called Malter and referred to as Malterholz. The wood was painted or painted on. It is not to be equated with the cordwood .
The term is derived from the way it is set up. Two elongated sleepers were joined by two two-legged bars. Two stands, each 32 inches long, were placed vertically on each end of the sleeper. The spacing was 5 feet or 60 inches . This frame was 2 malters in length. The stand height of 32 inches was divided into four eighths from the bottom. The first ¼ or 16 inches, then ⅜ or 24 inches, and finally the fourth top eighth back into one half that is 4 inches twice. Outlining such Malterböck or Waashaufen, as they were also called, was a punishable offense.
