Walter Flexcut wheels take it right off. They don’t glaze over and they don’t gouge. I bought a whole can of them because, like you, I had a lot of mill scale to remove from large areas of plate.

I appreciate the humor, but this is in reality quite close to the mark. In retrospect, even though I goofed, the doubling of legs very likely gives rise to a much more rigid stand. A good comparison is my other bike stand (for my other bike) produced in semi-mass quantity. It bends, twists...

The valanced 'fenders' are a nice touch. Did you make those?

Thank you. x2. :D Thank you. I enjoyed the sense of accomplishment, and moreover the utility of getting the bike off the ground for wrenching and detailing. Thank you. I lift the bike on a bike jack to just over the maximum height of the stand (16"), slide the stand under the bike's...
