The $2.99 work stand

[ozkat]

Thought id build myself a new work stand today seeing as i need a second one for the Kat.
Went around the industrial bins (it a public holiday up here)
Found a heavy duty steel fire door, Large gave me the front wheel chocks, found some steel for the legs in another bin, Rubed it back, painted it Signal Red which i found in another bin, added a GT stripe, had to pay for that from supercheap, which cost $2.99. Legs are drying now and will be on tonight, not bad for $2.99 and an afternoons work.

Just roll em up a ramp/plank. Easy as. The stand is only 500mm tall. Perfect working height.

Trick Stands - I have one also. "Trick" drop the T and you get Rick, as in Rick Nelson, also known as Rexie. Not sure if he's still making them mate? Try emailing him.

Just managed to get another 2 Rears and a
Front stand localy, (1 free, 2 cheap)
so not a problem now.

Thanks.
