    That's a great idea and a solid build. I especially like the way you ran the wires. Very tidy.

    Hey Dave,
    I usually get a kick out of your videos because you are a true to life type guy and this video did not disappoint.
    I have been wanting to build a multi engine run stand myself.
    I have half a dozen engines I want to fire up and let run without bolting them into a vehicle.
    I like that you designed a fold up that incorporates all the good stuff needed to tell ya what you want to know about the engine, short of being able to pull a load.
    I feel silly that I did not think of a fold up myself.
    So thank you for doing your version which is proof of concept to me.
    Work Safe, Be well

    Good idea and good build! Not too fancy and totally workable. Also I could just listen to an engine run like that on a loop, like those "sleep to Thunderstorms" videos ... since I was a kid.
