Basically a coffee table on wheels. Inspired by the one in this video:
But mine is made from wood.

What appealed to me there is that bike can stay on the bench and I can put it between the cars in my double garage when not working. And when I want to work I can pull one car out and continue working.

It's not done yet though.

I think in the first video (part 1) he goes on about how the setup is good. And how sitting down is a good idea.

I will find out if it's worth it. But it also will be convenient for me in storage of my project. Can push it out of way when I'm not working on it.

Keep an eye out for one of these, I'm still looking for one the right size and I'd probably put it on casters. Maybe even a big lazy Susan on top too. From Tips n Trix thread, forgot to mention that there's a place to park your knees too:

Congrats to Blackbomber for coming up with the best idea I've seen yet for a ghetto worktable.
Dead stable and access is great as you can easily walk all around it.
And there's a natural place for parts & tools without putting them on the scoot.
Thanks, BB
All we need now is an idiotproof way to get it up there. Long ramp... hoist...?

A lot of times electrical supply stores like Platt or Graybar will have spools like that that they will no longer be using. They are super practical. I hadn't thought of using one as a stand though.

thanks gents. I like the idea of knee room, the half Chinese in me loves the lazy susan idea, and I think I have spied one of those spools lately....

I will fashion some kind of table, the key will be a height that one can sit and stand as needed. maybe dual height sections.

the rusty wheels are turning, any new ideas or brilliant learnings are welcome, in terms of storage, drawers, ramps, etc...

or donations in the San Diego area are welcome. I can come pick up part of your porch or whatever you think might help me.

I will also be covertly visiting construction sites this week in search of materials. I think I remember how this is done from my skate ramp building days. 8)

Skate Rats
love those..!

We used to skate at Del Mar Skate Ranch. Steadham would pull these rail slides almost the whole way around the pool coping. He came to our ramp in chula one time with gator (shortly before his incarceration) and their crew. McGill used to fly out of that keyhole pool, hawk was like 13. Caballero, Hosoi...all of them. its a dirt lot now used as overflow parking.

I still have my Jeff Grosso and Vision Old Ghost.. the wheels are ground down to like the circumference of quarters. good times bro-ham.

I don't have room to store an assembled worktable so I need something that easily knocks down into storable pieces. For my first major rebuild I used the 4 milk crates that normally stay under my workbench and placed a 6 foot banquet table on top of them.

I have since gotten rid of the table and now I use two 6 foot long 12 x ¾ boards which I can more easily store in my garage. If I need extra stability I run a couple of cross pieces under the front wheel and sandwich the12 x ¾ boards between them with eye-bolts through which I run ratchet straps. If I'm doing really strenuous work I also run a chain over a garage rafter and through the rear rack.

In summer, I park next to the pool and do my work from the water.

The Steadham and the RIP are originals... I've had them since around '85 or so...

The McGill is a reissue from the 2000's? It's weird, I can't find any info on it. It has more of a new school shape and has more nose. It doesn't have any graphics on the top...

The first "real" skateboard that I owned, was a McGill that looked like this:

I wish I still had it...

I had that McGill from the 80's, also. I likes it. I had a few Powell's. A Guerrero street deck and a 87ish Caballero with that shitty bonite that felt dead. Good times. Backyard halfpipes with wood stolen from construction sites; you were there. Kids today don't know how lucky they are with a concrete skatepark or two in every city.

^^^ those were the days..

here's one of me dropping in (and probably about to eat shit) at a crazy, massive death trap ramp called "The Temple"... it had to be 20 feet tall... it's was just a HUGE U shaped ramp w/ no flat bottom and 4 + feet of vert.. there was a roll-in, but dropping in was a right of passage.. deadly but you had to do it..


I think I'm on a U.W. Fish Stick.. my all time fav board was the U.W. Argyle, and while the "epoxy glass" was supposed to be unbreakable, I manage to break mine..

That looks awesome. You should found some masonite and you'd have great substitute for some old school pipe skating.

I periodically skate only to remind myself how old I am. I went to the 3rd largest skateboard park in the world and was the laughing stock of the locals. Chinese kids don't do political correctness. "When you were young skateboards must of been this wide, hahaha!!!" Holding up his hands to 10 or 12 inches. Shit my pants when I tried to skate. Unbelievable park. Tried to skate on my nieces penny board a couple a weeks ago. Those little things are fast.

Found out my lightened flywheel has no magnetism on a visit to Motorsports.

Found out even in its lightened state it weighs more (5.9 lb) than the replacements that Motorsports sells these days (5.35 lb).

Could have saved a lot of grief had I known that earlier. So far I've bought the "good used" flywheel, shipped it to Fresno, had it returned because I had Al's old address, sent it back, got it, installed it, bike wouldn't start, removed it, and now dropped it off for remagnetization.

alva shorts,. sorry...NSR
I still have my rector skatepads. Im gonna find the old pics. Op shorts, hang-ten socks....yeah!

Chris that ramp looks like half-death with no flat bottom and pieces in constant need of repair. we had one of those in the canyons of Bonita. one side taller than the other with 3 feet of vert. screws and nails not all flush, and pieces forever shredding off the plywood.

dropping in was a definite rite of passage. then the Acid drops, axle grinds on coping, rock-n-rolls, boneless back into the ramp... no helmets, maybe a wrist guard, rector pads. Indy Trucks and Rat-Bones wheels. hi top vans and a Bones Brigade T shirt.

Totally.. Here's another ramp we skated that same day.. much more civilized w/ nice flat bottom.. still pre-Masonite.. it had to be earlier in the day, as I'm sure I left the Temple bruised and battered.

Agree,, my iPad has been logging me out indiscriminately for about the same time. Has stabilised lately, maybe the latest iOS update has fixed it.

revised the miles down to 238. left the house at 7:30am got home at 7:00pm. Not sure the actual riding time but there was an hour for lunch, an hour at the top of mt Tam, and two hours at the bar at the end. maybe 7-8hr riding. First 50 miles were on the freeway getting to the start, the rest was mostly twisty.

I've sold these before without ever considering checking if the magnets actually do anything.

Today the rebuild on my motor began. I didn't do much of the work, but I observed and helped when I could and learned a lot. We have been taking a lot of pictures and will do a post detailing the work through completion.

Luckily we found the problem
