What do you guys use for an engine stand while rebuilding the engine out of the h-t frame?

I just made a stand out of some leftover wood scraps.

I agree, where did you get the hose clamps from?

I made a stand from some square tube that was from a fitness machine that was being scrapped. I also had wheels on it to roll it around the garage as needed.

 I was able to salvage the original clamps and clean them. They are fairly common on old tractors and vehicles from the 40's and 50's. I have not been able to find a source for new ones yet.
