Would anybody know where to get plans to build myself the following tools:
- engine stand
- engine hoist
- axle stands
- ..... mechanic shop tools

I know that these are all pretty straight forward items, that can be deisgned on your favorite shop rag, however I am interested in saftey as well.

Thanks
Steve

Steve,
You might check your local library. Especially the old Popular Mechanics archives.

If you don't feel comfortable designing your own, grab a tape measure and a sketch pad and go down to the nearest auto parts store where they have such items on display. Better yet, maybe you have a buddy that has an example that you can get ideas from. That way you won't have to endure the hairy eyeball as the sales clerks wonder what you're doing (tell 'em you're 'comparison shopping,' yeah, that's it! Comparison shopping :) ). You don't need every dimension, just a few critical ones like tubing sizes, arm lengths, etc.
