Home made, heavy-duty work stand ideas needed!!
I am using a portable folding workstand that I bought from Nashbar a few years ago. Its okay, but I want to upgrade to something better, and I am thinking something along the lines of home made. I have a heavy wooden support post in my basement workshop and this would be the perfect place to mount such a thing.
Any pics of your home made stands? I could use some ideas. Thanks!!

wooden arms sticking out with notches cut in them to support the top tube. or ..
1 pickup bed fork end QR mount..** and a beam that you screw it onto .. that also holds the bike up under the BB.
both sides open to a walkaround, then..
** you can fake that by drilling a hole through stuff , that beam ..
and using the axle out of a trashed Front wheel to hold the fork.
