I don't know, John, looks a little flimsy!
Excellent documentation!
Seriously, I'm curious why you splayed the legs inwards? (I don't have time to read the whole thing right now) Does it make it roll easier?

Very nice looking and functional stand. Reminds me, one time I purchased an engine stand at a local box store. I was pretty excited and happy until I got it home. I installed my 351w on it and then proceeded to watch it fold up like an accordian. ha ha. Live and learn I say.

A few dollars here and there
Favors from a few buddies
One heck of an imagination
Dreams of an engine stand

Not having your big block Ford come crashing down on your toes and rolling across the garage and into the side of the truck.....priceless
