Folding Engine Stand DIY
Posted: 01 Mar 2020, 20:40
Instead of spending the day decorating, much to my other half dismay I instead decided to build myself an engine stand. Well the sun was shining for the first time in weeks and it would be rude to stay indoors.
The legs fold flat so it can be stored against the wall when not in use (I pinched the idea from a fella on Youtube). I'm really pleased with the final result. It feels really solid, although I may lower it by a couple of inches. I already had the wood knocking about, the only thing I had to buy where the coach bolts for the front folding legs. All in it cost me £1.80, jobs a good 'un.
I photographed these with a wide angle lens so the engine does appear to be larger than it really is .
