Re: old test stand

Hi Bill,

HeHeHe
You thinking about it, has doubled it's Pricelessness ! ! !

I love all engines, and the craftsmanship put into them.

My E-Z-JUST test stand is part of me...
Anyone will have to pry it from my cold 'hand flipping' fingers ! ! !

HeHeHe

Take care,
Have fun,

The wood hold down clamps have been long ago replaced by metal ones.

I have a rubber band attached tank mount that I can shim up or down...

I screw it to my 'vintage' Workmate...

Not sure of the type of wood, but it is tough as nails, and obviously 'old growth'...

Castor oil must be a wood preservative.

Mine has a fantastic 'Patina', highly sought out by 'Antique Buffs'

I'd be willing to trade it for yours,
But you would have to throw in an engine or two...

old test stand

This was given to me by a friend and fellow RCC member januszczak (John). I won't use it for it's intended purpose but it will make a great display stand for a vintage engine.
Original price 4.15 and an American design. Appears to be maple or birch.

Thank-you John!

Bill
