the cheap prop stand I bought has had its last day, its also had a good lot of verbal abuse from me within the last 20 mins after fettling my work horse when using said stand the weld on one of the legs decided to snap while I was spinning the back wheel causing the stand to go into the wheel and snapping a spoke, well at least the bikes a little lighter for now, but grrr
anyway... my question is, I have some scaffold tube (previous owner of house buried it in the ground when laying electrics to a shed which no longer exists) so as its currently sat at the top of the garden looking as good as a scaffold tube can I'm beginning to think I should either give it to the local scrap man or make us of it and my a work stand from it, I know it can be done ( I have the power of google) but was just wondering if any of you have done such a thing or if you have any ideas / suggestions on the plan
(yes I'm fully aware shops sell work stands but if I can have "fun" making my own then why not)
