Engine Stand

Hi
To take my mind of other things I decided to knock up an engine stand for my 2 Stoke 15HP motor
I didn't design anything. I found old wood, old wood protection, some screws and just slapped it together. Considering I knocked it up without thinking about it, it has come out pretty good.
It takes my weight so should easily take the outboard
The wood protection is now just drying.

Nice job, James.
I might copy that design - if you haven't patented it!

Go for it mate. I'll measure it if you want
Cheers chaps. The finished product...
Maybe it's a bit high but I guess it isn't too bad since I didn't measure the outboard

Maybe I could do with some wheels for it. Any recommendations?

lol, it wasn't designed that way lol. The stain was left over old stuff. I decided to stain it because it lives outside until my garage gets built
In case anyone wants to replicate it I've added the wood lengths in the attached photos.
It doesnt come out well, but its suppose to say 45deg for the angles.

I purchased these wheels for the stand. They take 80Kg so are more than enough.
I stood on the stand with the engine and they still worked fine lol
The spin and have brakes on them. I brought them from Screwfix
