Looks really good mate, keep up the good work.
How ever there is one prob I can see with it....... The front base/cross arm(the bit right at the front you'll bolt your wheels to) is to wide.
Yes I know it makes it stronger and prob more stable, but because it is so wide it'll make life reall hard if you ever try to use an ordinary engine hoist to lift engines onto your stand. You will have trouble getting the stand between the legs of the hoist.
Trust me this is a real pain in the arse when you're working by your self......as you can prob telll mine dosen't fit either. :furious:
But keep up the good work, looks nice.

Cheers for that. Maybe I should cut the front 'axle' down by 100mm each side or something? We've got a forklift at work, which works bloody well as a hoist :spoton:

I had a week off due to chicken pox (grr...) I reckon if I didn't have that, I could've got full marks...
