looking to build engine stand ...

[bsteckel]

can someone post pics of their home made engine stand? i searched it, but the posts were old and no photos came up.

also, i am thinking of getting a stand at harbor freight for cheap ... what has to be done to make it fit an outboard motor?

also, anyone made their own lifting ring? i was told by my marina that some guys take a piece of pipe and have 1 1/2" x16 threads cut onto it to make their own ring?? i saw some on ebay, but they were $40 - $50.

i am sure someone has done this...

as always, thanks in advance.
