Works 4 me

now, wouldn't a "redneck" engine stand have the engine on an old couch or a washing machine or something?

Yeah...those are for the double wide....

I think I win for redneck engine stand. I used a benchtop engine stand bolted to a 4x6 beam which was clamped to a portable workmate table. At the other end of the 4x6 beam, I wedged a 2x4 vertically between the beam and the ceiling to keep the whole thing from tipping over.

At least I would put a jackstand under the motor whenever I wasn't working on it just in case.

But I didn't to this because I was too cheap to buy a real engine stand - I did it because I only used the stand for 4 weeks and don't have room to store a floorstanding engine stand. The benchtop engine stand is nice and small.

Kitchen table......

For more stability you could alternate the direction of each layer. I like the adjustable height!

2 cool!!!
But I win for "cheap" - the wood was free. $2.- for "hard as nails" epoxy to
hold it all together.

I always thought the best place was on the coffee table........that way you could work on it while watching NASCAR
