Lift tables... I had one of those. Tried it a few times and hated it. Gave it away.  For me, it's easier to just sit/kneel on the floor.  Strange, no?
Bill

Haha, strange, yes!  :biggrin: 

Just out of curiosity, what didn't you like about it.

Seemed to me that it was always in the way. I couldn't get close enough to the bike, or I needed to climb on top of the bike for access to something. Or I was constantly walking around it, to get to the other side. Whereas, with the bike on the ground, I could simply lean over it.

Guess I'm lucky, the constant up-and-down doesn't bother my knees. I just consider it to be some much-needed exercise.

I see you disassembled the speedo gear. Any step-by step instructions or anything to be especially careful about when doing it?

Pete you can do one of two things when in the company of people who know more than you or do something better than you. You can waste time being defensive of your own skills and justifying your level of competence or you can seize the opportunity to learn something and improve yourself.

I always strive for the latter, it's how you learn! Welding critique and tips welcome

Noel
I like your attitude Noel,

It works, it's safe, it's not going to break off when you're draggin it along and cause you an injury is it  :good:

I've seen a lot worse and dangerous with what I do.

It's just appearance and if I was worried about that I'd never leave the house mate.

I wish I had your space and shed to have things like that, I do my work on a collapsible work bench in my garage after I move the van out.

How's the back going?
