Homebuilt engine stand I made today.

[Festiva_Fred]

I was bored today and had nothing to do, so I decided to try and make a engine stand. Here is what I came up with, not the best looking but it should do the job.






I made it so I can tilt the engine about 45 degrees on either side as you can see.

Thanks, It pivots on a bolt/nut that connects the horizontal board closest to the engine in this pic to the vertical one (stand), the 3rd closest one is extra bracing to make it stronger and tie it all together better.

Thats what I figured but I didnt see a bolt coming out of the back of the third board. I guess you counter sunk the bolt head in the vertical board.

Didnt have a long enough bolt nut combo ?

^^ Couldn't find anything long enough to go through all 3 boards, I was just using stuff we had laying around in the garage and shed to build it.
