    [​IMG] Got this little stand at Harbor Freight for under $20. Folds flat for storage, can adjust how wide it opens with chains. Will add more padding to top rails next time, the weight of this guy dug in a bit.

    LOL, I here ya, made me a little nervous at first! It's rated to 250#, and after dragging this mount around the shop on the stand, I'm not nervous at all. Works great!

    Thanks Glenbear. It's actually the second of a double mount. I will be delivering it next week. I'll post pics after I get it put together.

    Pretty cool idea! I've never worked on any lifesize or 1/2 lifesize stuff and dont see myself doing a TON of it in the future....would work slick and cheap for the near future!

    Bought one today. I don't do to many lift size and for $29.00 thought it would come in handy.

    I got mine on a super coupon, but even at $29, it's a no brainer. I like not dragging big wooden ones in the handful of times I need one each year.
