    We have an old coat rack someone was chucking out - its a rail about 1 1/2 metres long on two legs and stands independantly. Coats used to be hung on coathangers on it.

    We have bought two large utility hooks, wrapped them old tyre rubber, attached them to each end of the rail and this is our work stand.

    For any "under-the-bike" work, we get two bungy cords (the elastic with hooks at both ends) and hang the bike from one of the beams in the shed. We can get right under the bike, or have a look at components at eye level rather than having to bend down.

    These two systems work really well

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
