Wheel Stands - Stackable.

[fiftyv8]

A good half day in my workshop has seen my offcuts measured and cut to size and mocked up.

I've made my boxes about 1 1/2 inches longer in length and about 11 inches in width.

I gone with what suits my general requirements best, as well as making best use of my materials.

Once all the pieces had been cut out and I got myself the correct wood screws, all that was required was a bit more time to assemble each of the 4 boxes and add wheel stops at both ends.

The wheel stop installed accurately also become a lock for stacking that prevents slip or movement.

I intent to make another 4 boxes of a different height sometime soon to provide my with more options with the capacity to build up 2 boxes for a greater lift.

Darn funny thing they do actually stack.

I decided to paint these stands as a means to help hide my bad wood work skills.
So I got a coat of primer on today.

And finally it is amazing what a lick of paint does to improve an average job.

Looking good and the paint does make a difference!

Wheels stands I built so I could actually work on a buddies MG race car. I did the 2 x 4 cribbing on top of a Harbor Freight furniture dolly. Raised the car up to working height AND made it movable... Worked very well...

Mine are 4 PT 4x4's standing on end with a piece of PT 2x12 across the top. They're sheathed in 1/2" OSB. Basically scraps I had laying around. I store them outside.

Excellent work. I hope you get as much use out of them as I have out of mine.

Thanks airrj, I am currently making a 2nd set of 4 as I had mentioned earlier that I would.

Boy, I am getting quicker at putting them together now.
They sure chew up the screws...

Built mine from scrap material from an old waterbed. Been using them for the last 20 years or so.

Another 4 units completed and painted.
Boy, I am glad that is behind me now.
Note 2 of this set are about 1 1/2 inches taller...

You know what?
I think I am done now...
