Thank you very much Tony, this was growing in my mind to do something with the hydraulic stand. But never thought about a engine stand. I’m glad you liked it.
Hi, Filip, the engine lifter comes to be a great help in your workshop, no more hurting your back or other physical issues. innovative solution good luck 🍀with using your new invention. 🇧🇪💥👍🏻⚒🇳🇱🇳🇴greetings.Hubertus
Great idea in concept, but you are still having to muscle a engine UP off the floor at least 8”(sorry I don’t know the cm equivalent) to get it mounted on the rig. How is that easier? Maybe you are assuming engines are always going to be on carts? If you would have spread the front legs out further so the fixture would go to ground level, it would accomplish your goal of 0 lifting. I know you want to use the bell housing, but why not build a pipe within a pipe mount(like a traditional VW/Porsche bench mount engine stand) for it? That way you can do the rotation for engine assembly. It won’t be hydraulic, but if you make it strong enough and with either multiple pin holes or a set screw mechanism, you will be able to rotate it and stop it where you want. I appreciate your “dead reckoning” engineering style as imprecise and un-German as it is…it does work!😂 Best of luck with the back as I have been there in 2011. Glad you had the surgery as all waiting does is cause permanent nerve damage😢. Best of luck, and see if you can find a copy of the VW book that went out to dealers called “Workshop of local manufacture” or something like that. It has fantastic solutions for many tools the factory suggested for dealerships that they did not sell, but have measured drawings of. I think there is a PDF of it on TheSamba.com. Found it😊 www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/local_manufacture.php
Thank you for the advice for the engine lifter, but everything is set in my mind to make everything for easy working with engines. This whole setup is for engines to do little work on it. To open up engines and trow them back together, therefore is an other idea for that. A dual use that will be explained later. Yeah the surgery was needed badly and now time to heal. Thank you very much for the support and comment sir👍👍
@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 No problem. Best of health and I look forward to seeing more of your ‘55. I hope to someday have an oval or earlier. For now I have a few projects that are ‘62-‘67(busses). I appreciate the motivation you and others provide here on UA-cam.
That’s the main reason to post videos so everyone could learn from it, even me😃 Never too old to learn. It takes so much time to make videos, but it for a good cause. The oval getting up in prizes now these days. Well my wife would not be happy to have now a bus on the driveway lol, but she likes them a lot. Maybe one day. I hope your projects going well?
Fantastic idea!!!
Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate it 👍👍
Very cool.
Thank you sir👍👍
Really cool!
Thank you very much sir👍👍👍
That's the coolest engine stand I have ever seen! Pure genius. Respect from Texas
Thank you very much sir I really appreciate it big time👍👍👍
This is the coolest dang thing I’ve ever seen on here!! Very genius move!! And we’ll thought out!!

@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 You did a great job! You honestly did!
You just built the coolest engine stand ever! Dude, fantastic job making it happen!
Thank you very much sir. I always try to make it myself easy to do things. It was something that was in my mind for a long time.
Very cool invention there!
Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate it 👍👍

🇧🇪💥👍🏻⚒🇳🇱🇳🇴greetings.Hubertus
Thank you very much Hubertus, it’s already in use and still needs some work.
Greetings Filip.
Very clever design. I wasn't sure where this was going after the last video but, it turned out great!!
Thank you sir, this was on my mind for more then a year.
dam great idea and a good back saver :)
Thank you very much Nick, this will help me a lot in the future. We always have to think at our health and this is a back saver for me big time.

good engine support. but you can't put your engine upside down to work. 😅
That will be a other support that I will make in the future. Stay tuned and don’t miss it 😉😉
