My $6 repair stand

I was getting tired of bending down for repairs, and the stand I borrowed had to go back to it's owner.
I'm a cheapskate and dishing out $200+ for a stand doesn't fit in the budget at this time.
I took some scraps of steel that had been lying beside the house for another project and a length of round bar.
I bought some clamps for $6 that fit the round bar. I drilled a 1 inch hole on the square stock for the round bar. I then welded the upright to the hunk of scrap.
I built it high as I don't like bending, but I could drill more holes to lower the round bar as the clamps are removable.
But being made out of .120 2x2 and 1 inch bar it weighs lot's more then a proper stand.
I figure I could hang a 100 pounder from it!
