Engine stand

Way back in the mists of time, about 8 months ago, Bodger went mad and bought a few things of importance to use in the shed.

However since a shed is unavailable a garage is being used instead. Nevermind that my lad, what did ye buy way back them I hear you all yell?

One of the things obtained was an engine stand to mount the engine in while work is being done on it. Very nice you say, but what's that got to do with anything?????

Yesterday, some nuts and bolts and washers were bought, the electric drill was used and the stand was mounted on to a solid surface for when it's needed.

Have a look below and see for yourself.


The shelf thingy was rescued from the side of the road. The stand was bolted onto the top shelf to have it at eye level more or less. Leaves the second shelf to lay tools, mugs of tea or even parts on.

Plus there's holes in the sides of the supports that hooks are put into and helmets are hung from, outta the way and all in one place.

Not bad idea all in all.

  1. Good job of recycling. I might try to build a couple stands for engine holding.

  2. Yep, has come in handy alrighty!

    Originally was keeping helmets on it along with reflective belts and riding gloves in a little wire basket type drawer under the middle shelf.

    Wait 'til you see how I've dealt with the frame paintng set-up Larry!
