Here's a new HF item. Looks like it could be a furniture assembly/finishing platform. Both the length and height are adjustable within limits, holds 1000 lbs. Locking casters. $40.
Motorcycle stand = mobile work platform?

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

That's a Bargian!
Thanks for the "heads up"!!!
The casters are worth almost that much!
The next time I get within range of a Harbor Freight, I'm going to buy one!Stop thinking why you can't and Start thinking how you CAN!
Remember, SUCCESS comes in CANS!

The only drawback I see is that the support arms are angled in. Hard to mount a top to it. You could add a wedge shaped top to the arms.Don, aka Pappy,

One thing you may need to consider is the overall height of that thing.
Being a motorcycle guy myself, I know that thing is meant to slide under the bottom frame rails of the bike. Hence it's height is something along the lines of 18 to 24 inches. Personally, I get terrible back strain working on tables less then 37 inches when standing...
Now there's no reason you couldn't build a table that basically sits on top of that, to bring it up to a comfortable working level. But, I did want to point out that, completely stock, out of the box, it's going to be too low to be useful.-John

I was thinking, say for a low bookcase or a small table, that would put it at the right height for finishing. So you don't have to bend too low to do the legs or reach too high to do the top.Loring in Katy, TX USA
