On a thread last week, someone used a engine stand to rotate thier frame. I don't have a engine stand, so I built my own version. The last pic is the back half of the frame I already cleaned and painted. That was before I built the stands and ended up hurting my back trying to flip the frame over to clean and paint it. Hope this new set up will save some time and pain.

Just sharing if any one wants to try this.

Cool--is the front stand holding the whole frame? Does it take much to tip it over?

Man that's great. I can't believe that stand on one end can support that weight.

There is a stand at each end. Here is the other side.

I see said the blind man.......

I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up.
