It would be a better bead roller if I would have gotten back the 5 pairs of rollers that were with it when I loaned it to a (WAS) friend! DON'T LOAN OUT YOUR TOOLS!

Not really a tool but I threw this rolling work bench together when I undertook the spoke wheel conversion on my Goldwing. Shelves underneath, 3/4" decking and an overhang for a wheel chock or a vice mount. It has locking heavy casters to make it mobile. I used my hoist to lift the bike in the air then rolled the table under it and let the bike down. Since I have the back and knees of an 85 year old, it was well worth the small cost and effort to throw it together.

DRIVEN,
Nice wood working on your bench! I agree that a stong roll-a-round bench is very helpful (my bead roller and brake are on a 3ft x5ft 36in. tall bench made of sheet metal with a 1/4in. steel plate top).
