this saves ones back. good idea.
made me think.
wonder if one could make there a small sunken channel in the table so the tire would stand upright on its own. and have somekind of scissor jack there to lift and lower the channel and tire to the correct height to attach the bolts back. there would be even less lifting and twisting then.
this also reminded me of the tire hammock setup i once saw in one 80yo mechanics garage. he couldnt lift them anymore either, due injuries and old age but he loved to tinker with his old classics. he had a swinging beams mounted to the walls on 3 directions, sides and front. (swung and moved along the side of the car so he could use them as hoisting something like engine out too.) and he had a small hoist hanging in the tip of the beam. and then he hooked an hammock type net to it. and wrapped the net around and under the wheel before opening bolts. and just caught the tyre with it. and then just swung it away from the car while he worked on it. then pulled it back closer and used the hoist to get it right height to attach bolts back on.
