Hi guys
Just playing around, but thinking of building a stand like this at some point. Would like to have lockable wheels on it as well.
Anyway, I've attached pics below. No dimensions were really calculated or planned, just roughly based on a design posted in a link on this forum.

Keep in mind my design is still missing the top "table" and yes, there are no bolts in the holes :
. The desing posted in the link apparently locks in place when in the lifted position. Not sure how to design around this aspect, but suppose that it would be a good idea to include some kind of "saftety" once the bike is lifted on the stand. Also I am no mechanical engineer and my 3D drawings skills can do with some improvement.
Can anyone see any major issues why this would not work?
