Hey all! check out what I just made. It's perfect for working on my bike and allows easy draining of the gas tank into a fuel can. :thumb:
Instructions for making it are here.

That's sweet, Tussey. :thumb:
Looks a lot easier than what I was doing last night (holding the tank while it slowly drains...)
If I had the tools, I would build one of these bad boys.
That frickin' RAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheers: :thumb:
Stunning idea...
looks good! I don't like the idea of drilling longways through a 2x4 and using lag screws though. I think a simple bracket or even just some wood glue would be better. If you wanted to get fancy you could dovetail or tongue-and-groove those crosspieces too.

Pretty cool. I just used some sawhorses, but that's nice.
I'll take one in black walnut with ebony inlay.
I used to watch that woodworker guy on PBS...The Woodwright's Shop or something like that. It's an amazing (and dying) craft.
Good job! :bowdown:

that's what I did too. I'm going to have to make one of these stands though, I can't ever pass up the chance to make some sawdust.

Interesting idea. Now, when you need a fuel tank to balance your carbs go out and get 6' of fuel hose to connect to your carbs. :cheers:
When do you make the bike lift? :)
