Workstand instructions Materials List: Two sheets of 3/4" plywood (although 20/32nd board has worked, but is not recommended for motorcycles over 600lbs weight) 1 lb box of 1 5/8" drywall screws (or 1 1/4 screws if using 20/32nd board) 8 oz. bottle of woodglue or larger 12 2" hinges if you want it to fold down (strongly recommended) Saws - Table saw and/or circular saw, and a jig saw. Drill with #2 Phillips bit and one drill bit sized to accommodate the blade on the jigsaw Carpenters pencil or equivalent to mark cut/orientation lines and pieces Assembly After all pieces have been cutout assembly can begin. From here on when the word "attach" is used, that means to glue and screw the pieces together. Be liberal with the glue and wipe up whatever excess spooges out the sides. Screws should be set unless otherwise specified at 6", tho as long as you don't split the wood you can never have too many, error on the side of too many than not enough. :) Step One: Attach the Inner rails L1 and K1 to piece B1. The top of L1 should be 1" from the bottom of B1, the top of K1 should be 12.25" from the bottom of B1. Repeat with L2, K2, and B2. Ensure that the cut holes match up on both B pieces when the rails are faced to each other, and that 3/4" is left on each side to allow room for end panel pieces C1 and C2. Step Two: Now attach end panel C1 to one side of B1 and rest B2 against C1 as well. Lay bottom shelf piece M along the bottom rail and ensure fit is good and square. After making sure there is room for C2 and the end as well, attach C1 to pieces B1 and B2, slide in bottom shelf piece M, and secure piece C2 to the other end. Step Three: Attach bottom shelf M to rails L1 and L2 Step Four: Attach Work surface Piece A to the top of the main box. Ensure that the sides are flush and ends are square. Step Five: Attach spacer piece E1 to the piece C1 square and flush with the top of the piece, repeat with pieces E2 and C2. Use plenty of glue and at least 8 screws. Pattern the screws such that the next piece can be attached in a similar pattern but missing the screws. A pattern resembling a 5 on a dice is recommend. Step Six: Attach piece F to E1 such that the two fingers are pointed up, and that the cutout section 1" down is square and flush with the top of piece E1 so that the bottom of the notched pieces allow the ramp piece P can pass over when extracting the ramp. This eliminates the possibility that the ramp can fall off when loading a bike Repeat with pieces D and E2 but such that piece N can pass over D, but catch piece P after the ramp is extended out two feet. This will allow the motorcycle to be rolled out onto the end and provide temporary support while the motorcycle is fastened with a centerstand (or rear stand and jack under engine) and tie down to allow the ramp to then be slid back in for storage and allow the front end or front wheel of the bike to be taken off. Step Seven: The next step is to construct the ramp itself. Start with attaching pieces J to the bottom surface (not sides) of the ramp surface Piece I. Step Eight: Ramp Construction completion is done by attaching the Outer Ramp Handle piece N with cutout facing away from the Ramp Surface Piece I flush with the end of piece I, and between pieces J on the opposite end from the slant cut. Step Nine: Attach piece P two feet from the end of the ramp and piece N. Step Ten: Attach piece O at the end of the ramp near the slant far enough in so that it does not interfere with the ability of the slant cut to touch the ground. Step Eleven: Tool shelf assembly. Start by assembling the Tool Shelf Edge Piece R1 to Tool Shelf Piece G1 with the bottom of the edge of R1 parallel to the underside of piece G1 so that when attached it will form a lip above the top of piece G1. Repeat with pieces R2 and G2. Step Twelve: Locate the position along the top side edge of Side Panel B1 at 18" from the edge where C1 is attached. This will be where the corner where Tool Shelf Piece G1 will locate such that when the ramp side is raised it will form a flush top with Work surface Piece A. Make sure the Tool Shelf Piece G1 is oriented such that the Tool Shelf Edge Piece R1 points away from B1 when folded down so that it is flush with the side. Hinge location should be set 1 foot in from this mark, repeat these steps on the side of B1 where End Piece C2 is attached. Attach the tool shelf. This might be accomplished easiest if the unit if flipped over face down to the ground. Don't worry about the Tool Shelf Edge not allowing Tool Shelf G1 to rest flush against the ground. Press the edges together and fasten the hinges. Repeat these steps on the other side with Tool Shelf Piece G2 and Side Panel B2. Step Thirteen: Flip the unit back to face up and ensure the Tool shelves both operate correctly by flipping up to form a single flush work surface and resting flush against the side. Draw a line along the sides of B1 and B2 along where pieces G1 and G2 rest. This will be the line where the side pieces H1, H2, H3, and H4 attach. Attach each piece so that the pieces can be folded flat against the B side pieces and still allow the B pieces to fold flat as well. Pieces H should be mounted such that the bottom of each H piece is flush with the bottom of the B piece so when set down they do not stick below the bottom plane. Step Fourteen. Extend the tool shelves and place the H support piece in place. Drill a 1/16" hole through the tool tray and into the H support piece about an inch from the end that will allow a nail to slide in and hold the side support in place incase it is kicked or jarred when working on a bike. Step Fifteen: Your stand is now complete. Test by inserting the ramp and sliding it in and out of both sides ensuring that it can not slid more than 2' out the far side and that it can not fall off the near side when loading a bike. You should now be able to load a bike up onto the stand now yourself with little effort. The stand should also fold into a compact unit that will allow items stored in the middle to not fall out and be transported easily via the handholds on each end. If working with a bike on it's sidestand it's recommended you place an additional temporary H support piece under the sidestand to keep the toolshelf from bowing, but it should be just fine for temporary support of a bike without while moving a bike onto a centerstand or rear wheel stand.
