Remake of a motorcycle work bench

I found an image of a vintage motorcycle work bench on Pinterest. Loved the principle of a seesaw. It also fitted my range of workshop stools I designed earlier.So I made one myself from oak flooring boards.
I will be showing it on the Rusty Gold Swap+Meet in Amsterdam this May 3rd.

  1. Beautiful Build! I have a few questions as I don't see these anywhere. What prevents the weight of the front of the bike from tipping the ramp too soon? What's the ramp in the front of the box for? Any way you could share the designs or sketches for this build? The important parts just would be the length and angle of the ramp and box.

    1. I made a bench too. It shows the CG of the bike in relation to the pivot. https://www.globaldimension.com/2018/06/wwii-wooden-motorcycle-workbench/

  4. hello friend .. I live in Brazil and I recently discovered your blog.
    I really admired your bike platform progeti and the photos above.
    I question if vice has any project or design with the measures that is readable or simply an outline with the measures.
    I do not have the resources to buy a metal one but I would be very happy to be able to execute my project with my own hands.
