Homemade Heavy Duty Lift Stand For Motorcycle From Salvaged Steel & Plywood

I went dumpster diving and found a couple of tables with steel frames and turned one of them into a motorcycle lift stand. The silver part of the lifting mechanism, the bolts/nuts and also two of the bushings in the handle itself are recycled Honda CR 80 swing arm linkage parts. Plywood originates from a scrap skatepark torn down years ago and it served it's purpose on the old bent MX lift stand and now lives on attached to the new one. Check it out!

Nice build! Presentation at the end was cool :D

[@DonnDIY]

Hahaa! Thanks. I had to show it withstands the combined weight of me and the bike on impact. Thus I can call it "heavy duty". :D

[@AFHProjects]

PROVED! :D

[@wontrespond3263]

Great work! That’s precision on the locking lever points. Well done. Looks great!

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers man. It works great too! Now I need to make a couple of more for other bikes too. :D

[@thejasonkellett]

The very end was simply awesome!

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Would you belive that the recycling craze have gone so far here that we are not allowed to do dumpster diving at the "recycling centre" aka "the dump"..

[@DonnDIY]

That's sad since there are many things in a good condition one can use even without modification. All of it goes into the shredder instead. We're still allowed to do that but we'll see for how long. :/

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Last year there was a really nice ergometer (rowing machine) in a container at the dump, and I have a friend looking for one. Asked if I could please pick it up and bring it home instead of it being shredded. No luck.. So this recycling thing really sucks in some aspects.

[@prancstaman]

Nice one!! I think you projects financing is calculated by the price of welding wire and grinding wheels, LOL. And good riding skills.....

[@DonnDIY]

I've thought of that and you're pretty much spot on. If I'm able to acquire material like I've done so far (by visiting scrap yards etc) I could get by with very little on the future projects. :D

Can u give me the measurement pls..

[@allmihi]

how many times did it take? tell the truth!!!!!!!!

[@minimalskill6592]

:D :D

[@DonnDIY]

5 times, nailed it with the fifth one. :D

[@coburnlowman]

Sweet build. I too am a dumpster shopper or County landfill "The County Genral Store" Most everything I make is from old crap. Its a hobby but it sure gets old dismantling stuff , don't it?

[@DonnDIY]

It does. I would want to live next to a metal scrap yard. The nearest one is half an hour from my house so I don't usually go there. This recycling center I got these tables and chairs from is located ten minutes away but unfortunately there's not that much steel their at all times. But gems like these steel framed tables are still waiting to be picked even there.

Prolly 60x60 and 50x50 mm if I recall correctly.

What is this for ????

[@Kanaval89]

Nice build, and you ride trials?! Sick. If I wasn't already subbed I'd sub again!

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers. I do ride trials a bit. I don't do competitions or anything. Just for fun around the property here. That's why the bike is old and cheap and somewhat ratty looking. :)

[@mtbridingog9083]

I have 1 question how does it stay up without a latch to hold it in position

[@DonnDIY]

You can see it at 6:36.

[@mtbridingog9083]

@@DonnDIY that's not a latch that's a joint bro ... I'm talking about latch latch

[@DonnDIY]

That's how it stays up without a latch, bro, at 6:36.

[@oneshot2231]

думаю сделать такое для машины ?

[@weldweld5629]

Donn the videos are great. I've noticed you were into the farming so you probably got old tractor gear and stuff and that you also burn wood so I was just thinking an excellent project for a video wood be a hydraulic woodsplitter, unless you already got one. What do you think. Send me a pm if you can.

[@DonnDIY]

Hey, we do use firewood and a lot of it. If I'm gonna build something for the firewood it would probably be firewood processor including woodsplitter and cutter. Thanks for the input! ;)

Things start working more or less on the first try but more complicated designs need more time and several tries to develop and adjust properly.
