you may or may not know, i am pretty cheap. so heres my how-to for a 10 dollar rear stand. the most expensive thing for the project was the hand saw, since i didnt have one. so if you want an off-balance, out of square stand that youy can be proud of, this is it.

materials:
Hand saw- $3.00
bolts- $2.00
washers- $2.00
nails (cheaper than screws and more fun to put in)- $3.00
wood- free

step one. precise measurments and blueprinting.

Nice, but I think I will stick to my pitbull.

There was one posted up before that was made from galvanized pipe that turned out pretty decent.

Just need some 1/2" or 3/4" eletrical conduit, some skate board wheels, couple bolts/nuts, and a bender and you're set. A welder would be the icing on the cake.
