Topic: DIY'ers: Anyone build their own engine stand?

[strynboen]

I designed these adapters for the Harbor Freight el cheapo engine stand.  I cut them out on the plasma table at work and bent them in the press brake.  The adapters can also be used bench top without the stand if need be.

That is trick, Bud!   

I've toyed with the idea of getting a stand but would take up valuable space in the garage when not in use.

just make a vooden plate..and use it as tabel...vhen not used..or a vash bar..

Bud , why so much offset ? Does it get tippy.
 Here is my mobile stand I made around 87 I think..

It just came out that way.  It’s not tippy.  In fact it’s great for flipping the engine up and back and working on the bottom end.

No, I probably won’t be making parts or accessories for sale any longer, unless I’m convinced I can sell a boat load of them.  Too much stuff on my plate.
