Wondering if any of the members on here have built their own test stand. I have the necessary shop equipment available and think it would not be that hard to do. If you have could you post some pictures, plans etc. I am looking for a stand with rollers to run the engines. I know they can be bought but I think it would be fun to build.

Thanks

Thank you very much, CK and Don.

It works out well for me.  So far I've been able to do everything I've wanted with it.  There is still room on the panel to add things, if needed.  I do plan to add some on/off switches to the each set of banana jacks.  Will also and some resettable fuses...something I should have done originally.  The control panel is held by four screws so it can easily drop down to work on the wiring.
The most expensive part is the JAK rollers, but they are so handy to have and I use them often.

Keith, that looks great that is just what I was looking for. I checked on buying bearings to build my own rollers and I am better off buying the rollers from Jaktool. I will start collecting parts to build one tomorrow. By the way have you thought about submitting this to get it published in the OGR Mag? It would make a great do it yourself article. Thanks for replying. I just knew that some had decided to build rather than buy.
