$4.00 Work Stand

I was checking out my local thrift shop and came across a very cheap looking car bike rack. I wondered if it might come in handy in the shop. I happened to have an antique sewing machine table I was using as a work bench.

Voila! I love this cheap stand.

Thanks.

Considering that I buy $20 bikes and fix them up, I don't think Park ever had a chance of getting $300 from me.

What do you do with them when they're finished?

My Park stand cost me all of $107, and its very stable...

But, if it works, that's a good price Beats nothing at all!

In the last year I've fixed up a bike for myself and my wife, flipped a few, and helped a few friends out.

I'd love to have one. I hear they rock. I'm too much of a cheapskate and DIYer to just buy one.
