Recommendations for a "home" work stand?

[PNW]

Does anyone have recommendations for an affordable/quality work stand? I desperately need/want one!

I highly recommend building something yourself like this:

Neat.

I didn't watch the whole video to the very end, but it looks to me like he's going to have an aft-CG problem.

Very much like my Feedback Sports work stand. I've had it for 8-10 years, use it weekly. To make one that would perform as well and be as sturdy, convenient, and durable would cost me more in time and money, if it could be done.

+1 on Feedback Sports. I'm not sure how long I've had it, but it has been solid, easy to use and folds up pretty small.

buy a nice stand or buy a cheap one today and rebuy a nice one later.

I bought a $60 one off amazon, 3 years later, broken. Just get a feedback and be set

here's some photos that are self explanatory. The fun is in building and tweaking. the wooden one would work better if the top tube arms were longer buy hey use what you have.

OP didn't really say he wanted it to be DIY or the cheapest possible solution. just affordable and good. and knowing he's got a sweet Moots with Super Record, my guess is he could swing $150ish for a legit stand...

Feedback and Park both make awesome stands and you can't really go wrong there. I like how strong and stable (steel) the Park ones are for leaving set up in my home shop. but I love how light and portable (aluminum) and quick to set up the Feedback ones are. they're still stable, just a little less so. so figure out which of those you want to prioritize and choose the one that fits your budget.

+1 on Feedback
I have their Pro-Elite and Sprint and they are both awesome.

Had a Park PC-10 before, but too heavy for my taste and I hated the clumsy design of the leg locking mechanism.

I have a feedback from when they were "ultimate"

It's equivalent today is the recreation model. I've had it for 12 years and no complaints. For home use it's good.

I am not a fan of either the feedback or park stands at the entry or mid tier levels. I owned both. The clamping mech on the feedback is a PITA and the fold away park stand is not that stable. The feedback stand I would like a more solid - stable feel too. Thats why I am avocating a DIY stand because I think its better.

I have one that looks like this too. I use it as my build up/tear down stand.

Agreed that if you go Feedback, get the Pro-Elite or the Sprint. I had the Sport Mechanic and the clamping mechanism is a huge PITA. Went to the Pro-Elite and wicked happy now. Super easy to maneuver around and very stable.

I think I have the Sport Mechanic. Thanks for the tip
