They are not all the same!

Nothing is of great value until it is finished.

Wow, great bit of woodworking there, may not be cabinet making but will sure protect the engine, have to copy it !

It took me a day to think about it and with no tools for wood working  I was able to scab this together.
It also doubles as an engine stand for my spare engine.

Was just about to lay the frame on the side when I realized that I have an engine hoist....
Took the oil pan off,  ran some good line through the upper mounting holes and used the lift.
My back has never felt better.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

I used to use that method when doing engine swaps in my cars ::) Trouble is it's only good for 4 jobs :(


These days I use my stepson's fingers, I find there's way less pain that way ;D  Until he goes and tells his mother of course :o
