I'm going to make an engine/xmsn stand for buildup. I may even get a little carried away and use it for a cam break in stand since I have some guages laying around too. The pieces are of my old carport. Probably 1 3/4 to 2" galvanized square tubing. I have about 120 linear feet. Not real heavy but square tube is pretty tough.
I know how to grind off galv coating!
