DIY engine stand

So I'm fed up of mauling with engines on one of my cluttered benches or a pallet

I therefore decided to build an engine stand this afternoon spent an hour and did this









Photo bucket not playing part 2 to follow

 

Look at the precision fit ! The close tolerances ! The smooth grinding ! The metal cleaned before welding !


Oh hang on, I was looking at another thread... lol

 

I think his vernier guage was playing up.

 

Can`t imagine why... lol

 

"Heres one I made earlier " rings a bell lol

 

It's a flippin engine stand doesn't need to be precise just strong to hold an engine


Part

2


BUILT NOT BOUGHT BOYS lol

 

I dont think its meant to flip Micky...............










lol

 

Don`t you EVER comment on my welding again

 

Welding?? You sure thats what it is Nige?!

 

Micky, post #6, first pic. I think you missed with the grinder and scratced the post mate.

Actually, it looks better with that.

 

I think it needs a longer locking bolt too. lol

I mean, why use a simple pin you can drop in to lock the rotation ? Surely rooting for a spanner and trying to nip up a bolt whilst the engine is trying to turn is much easier.

 

Very good point that!

 

Micky, that big round thing on the forklift truck. Is that so you can make a billet flywheel for your VW Golf RE2000 ????

 

Micky.........?? Where you gone???

 

Will have to get myself one of those!

 

Putting kids to bed and sorting a projector and computer with a couple of mates

Back in a bit after seeing the Mrs

 

That's the 1t 2nd fly wheel off one of my machines that I'm having to fix instead of golfing

 

And I thought I was quick! That was a whole 2min!

 

Im wondering what goodies you have up there for me??

Dont suppose you like electric rc planes by any chance?

 

No my planes are two and four stroke sorry lol I've got a biplane a50" sukoy acrobatic and a super chipmunk lol
There stashed at home not work lol
