    Engine stand

    When I was rebuilding my engine recently, realized that I needed an engine stand to make the job easier. So, I drew a sketch and Squirrel made me one from 2"x6"'s and some screws. Was easy, cheap, strong and anyone can do it with minimal tools. Here are some pics.. The 2 measurements that are needed= 24" long, and 9 3/4" between inside of 2x6's.

    That Squirrel is a crafty little bugger, isn't he? It's nice to know that when you get old and wobbly he can whip together a wheelchair for you in no time!

    A heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter, you'll become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there wrapped up in a trap of your very own chain of sorrow.
