test stands
« on: July 20, 2010, 08:57:50 AM »
      #^ Guy's I am looking for a Tatone alinum test stand for the engines up to 60 size or there abouts.
 I found some on the MECOA site and wanted to see if there are other places to get them. 
                           Thanks, Gil

Brodak has their own brand and it looks decent.

I looked at the link for the Brodak test stand...no picture, so won't comment.

However...if you can get a test stand made by Richard Entwhistle of Scapoose, Oregon Territory...you'll be eternally joyous..."awesome" doesn't quite get it done. "Spectacular" works.  Look Richard up under "R" in the member's directory.  y1  Steve

That's strange.  I just tried it again and it was fine.  Maybe your browser didn't like it.

Here's a picture of one of Richard's stands.  They are works of art and they work.

Thanks for the good words Steve and Jerry.  I'm all out of stands having sold my last one two weeks ago.  I'm not planning to make any more until I get the CNC controllers for my mill or make a bunch of jigs to speed the layout work and hole drilling.  I make twenty of them and it took me what seemed like a lifetime to get them done.  I made them for fun but after the tenth one it wasn't fun anymore.  It was hard work.  I retired from working on cars and when I worked that hard I was making $80.00 an hour so the $65.00 I was selling them for works out to less than the greeter at Walmart makes per hour.  I'll let you all know when I have some more made.

Thanks
Richard
