Thanks for the kind words. Yes, i built them for myself in a 23'x23' garage. Don't have the proper equipment or space to mass produce. I would love to help out, but unfortunately have no plans of building in batch quantities. I really enjoyed building them and might make another set someday.

short stands height range is about 13" to 21" (330mm to 533mm)
tall stands are about 19" thru 31" (483mm to 787mm)

Here are some pictures.

The stand base was welded in a custom jig I built.

This was taken before I painted the tops. You can see how the sides can be used up or down.

Another picture without paint. You can see how they store. Currently I am storing them this way. Once i finish a few projects, I will be building a wall mount for them.

Thanks for looking.

If I were you, I would go with one of the AC units. I think they look very nice and should have plenty of options for heights. Like SamirD posted, I would choose a model with the legs tied together. With that said, I know the three leg model without support has been around for a long time. I just like the leg tied models for piece of mind during shock loads.

I know this is an old thread but I happen to see it and I for one value my body and safety is always important. I do own the AC Hydraulic knock offs made by ESCO 6000lb. My Hats off to you!! The ones you made are top notch, they are a work of art and I Love the fact that they can be finely and infinitely adjusted rather than the peg holes. Great work, I would be interested in purchasing a set form you should you decide to make an extra set. Thanks for sharing
