How to Make Bike Stand

Let's make a stand for maintaining bicycle.

Pencil and paper our best frends for sketch. Hands transfer idea from brain right to paper. Some times the result looks like imagined. Construction is simple enough, so dimensions will take "at place" with bike.

I cutted reinforcement stell rods, and made some "knee" bends. Leg's bases made with some iron profile. Two hooks bended with two pipes.

To keep geometry before welding, construction was assembled using professanal equipment: old iron table, pieces of concrete bricks and OSB.

I used angle grinding machine to make welding seams smooth. Cover with geen paint for rust metal. While the paint was wet, coiled color rope to prevent scrapping bike. On top of hooks and top of main rod put plastic caps, from elrctric clamps and old mop accordingly.

Bike fitted well. Wheel and pedals rotating free, stand is stable enough, job is done.
