Re: DIY El-Cheapo Outdrive Stand

Nice looking stand Unfortunately some of us dont have access to welding machines so we either make them out of wood or buy premade units. Couldn't ever get the wood unit to my liking. So i finally bought one that some one on this site had given good reviews and for 175.00 I am done messin around looks almost like bruceb58. Made out of steel rolls around on casters and is fully height adjustable from 16" to 29" Also can rotate unit around with pivoting head. Its made by stumpys fab works I just googled to find his website

Love that stand, and, the price you paid for it at Harbor Freight. Couldn't find it on their website. Would you mind passing along who makes it and a model #? Thanks.

Say 4Winns2, you reopened a thread that was almost 4 years old. Only the OP can reopen "dead threads"...... Thank you, WIMUSKY

LouC has the stumpys one:

I didn't like that fact that it rotates and there is no need. Too sloppy so I made mine fixed.

I like it! I have an engine stand, I may show that picture to the welder I use if I can catch him sober or not too hung over.
