i was wondering if anyone has any blue prints or plans to build a work stand kinda like the one that lilbill has in his pictures i dont have room for a full size bike table but the one lilbill has is perfect for what i need. i cant see it well enough to get an idea or so i can draw up some plans of my own. Lilbill if you read this can you snap some photos just of your stand i would appreciate it alot. maybe even draw up some plans if you get time if not a few different angle pics would be great. thanks, trebchopper  |

I've got 4 engine stands made from angle iron and one of them is mounted to a Draper car engine stand, it works really well , the Draper stand cost me about £45 and I can rotate the engine at any angle. With a bit of juggling I can put the top case on it for putting crankshafts back in too.
As I'm often working on my own, lifting the engine onto the stand is tricky and the engine crane takes up too much room, I've put a winch on the shed roof. It's off an old boat trailer and cost nothing, I've thrown the handle away and wind it with a 17mm socket on a ratchet. This is one of the best tools I've got as before I was having to phone someone to come and put the bolts in the stand while I held the engne!!

I wish I took some pictures of my motor on my engine stand......
I used all thread, and some aluminum 3" long spacers.
I was able to mount my motor on the stand using the motor mount holes. I used washers to shim it even and it worked perfect.
I build a fold-able work table buy bolting a 2x4 to the wall tyeing it into the walls 2x4's. Put some hinges in the work table and am able to fold it up against the wall when I am not using it. I have had complete motors on it and it supports it fine.

I copied this from my build thread: I had a frame that was junk and had no title, so I decided to use it to make an engine stand. I had cut out the cradle with all mounts (except the top one, of course) and was planning on welding legs on it. I wanted to have a couple handles as well. When looking at how the centerstand rotated, I realized I could use that to make the stand. I cut the legs off the center stand, and welded them on to the front of the frame (after removing the kick stand bracket.) The engine will stand on it's center stand, and when it need to be moved, you can flip the center stand up and use it as a handle. I took a second center stand that I had, and made a similar handle for the front. I used some extra engine mounting bolts, and used the top front motor mount to create a handle for the front. So by cutting up a junk frame and a couple center stands, I was able to make a nice engine stand that can easily be moved by two people.  With the rear handle flipped out for transport:  With a motor mounted:  |

Very nice! I like it.
Now I just need to find a scrap frame.
