How should I make a bike repair stand?

That really is cool Trey.

Thinking search scrap yards and recycle places for some sort of handled worm gear with wheel thing.

This could be really cool.

I really, really like these kinds of threads. Always some thing amazing comes from 'em.

Nehmo- I'm curious to know if you've decided on anything?

edit: Are you not responding because you're in KCMO? I know what goes on in the bottoms- man, go home! :)

(This is not my final for-show arrangement, so don't judge.)
The type of stand someone makes or uses depends a lot on what they have to work with. If I had ceiling joists or some point of support above my work area, then I might use straps.
Considering I can easily manually lift the bike, I don't need a lifting mechanism - just a support. A cantilevered pipe at an adjustable height is a convenient system. And naturally, using the clamps makes the bike stable. I always did marvel at the way those clamps grip a pipe.
 
Looks good. It only has to be off the ground:) Nobody's gonna judge you here Nehmo. I've been thinking about a milk crate cut to fit the frame somehow just for quick repairs and checks.
 
i used two heavy duty hooks screwed into a heavy wooden work bench. that seemed to do the trick. cost about 4 bucks at a hardware store
 
Heres mine, I bought a bench mounted bike work stand ($35 Ebay) and scrounged up every scrap bit of wood I had and made this, its crude looking but it got me thru my first build and is still going....

nothing crude about that stand bill. nice job and great idea for a motorized bicycle work stand
