Nothing fancy but I routed and stained a piece of pine to I could use it to hang my rear stand. One stand down, three to go

This is a great idea!!
Totally stealing it.

Thanks. I added my other stands to it

I secured the wood into the studs. The hangers are screwed to the wood but not into studs however they are still sturdy enough for this application.

I'm still deciding on what to do where the wheels touch the drywall. For now I'm use using painters tape since I don't want to get my walls dirty. I am leaning towards putting in a French cleat so I can use it as some storage as well as keeping my wall clean.

I replaced the stock headlights with LED ones and I’m pretty impressed with the new bulbs. If only everything was this simple to install.

Yep, great idea. I've had mine hanging the same way for some time, though I don't care about any marks they might leave on the wall.

Mounted a 50" smart tv on the wall with a home made bracket and hinge. I can swing it out from the wall and watch racing from the comfort of my bench. (got the tv off FB for 125$ - even has voice activated remote)

I have a similar setup. Keeps me company when I'm social distancing and scraping gaskets.

your garage looks like the place where 2 strokes go to heaven.

got any gasket scraping tips? I know you're not supposed to but I use a razor blade

In the old garage I had a 27" monitor as it was easier to write off a computer monitor than a tv. It ended up on the basement workbench and I have a 55" I need to pickup and recap for the garage. Covid screws everything up.

LOL... I don't have a garage so I built this shed.

No real gasket scraping tips. I have a gasket scraper that uses both metal razor blades and a plastic blade. I try not to use the metal blade. I also have a can of gasket remover - I find it helps. I also scrub with heavy duty nylon scotch bright pads used for washing pots and pans. It's a pain and takes forever. I'm always on the hunt for better more efficient ways to do this too.

Roloc scotchbrite pads?

 

[timtune]

love the roloc's but scotchbrite at high rpms could be aggressive I would think
