Not sure if we have a section for this post but thought it would be good to share cost saving ideas on making tools or anything else where you have been a Tight Arse and tried to save money.

I will kick it off with my Tight Arse 1290 stand.
$50 in materials and a couple of hours labour has saved me a few hundred $

Nice work mate.

Pfff, made this one ages ago in stainless and with a retractable lever!

See for more money saving ideas.

Nice work both...

I feel stupid looking your system.

Mine is not so professional but still works

How do you get the bike onto the stands?

This is probably a little up market but still a tight ass project
