Finished up my axle stand/fixture on Saturday.

I started by machining the remaining components for the hinges and clasps for the arms of the axle stand.

I then machined the threaded bungs for the lock down bolts. Decided to use my weld positioner to weld the bungs in place.

I think I may cut some thin rubber and glue it to the saddles where the axle will sit.

Thanks for looking.
