A couple tips from a lifetime carpenter. 1) after preselling, dip tube screws in water before sinking them. The water prevents dry wood from splitting 2) a little bit of wood glue between the boards 3) cut up an old vehicle tire and screwed pads to the bottom of each stand for additional safety from slippage.

Excellent!! If you made the bases solid wood they would be equal to and maybe better than a metal jack stand. Cinder blocks are not a great idea because they can crumble / crush under load - wood woukd not.

This is a very good idea and pretty cheap to do! Thanks again for an excellent video!

What is the pro to using these wood stands? Are they better to use for a car where they need to be lifted for a long period of time? Will this free up your jack stands for other uses? Is it safer to work under the wood stands?

Looks good and probably safe in most cases. But...Not sure that 2 x 4's are never going to break. In other words, I simply don't think I would want to get under a car on these wooden stands. But then "hey" who am I? Do it at your own risk. I believe standard auto metal stands are more safe. Again then "hey"...but please be careful getting under an upwards of 3 to 4 thousand lbs load.

Standard cheap metal stands like harbor freight, that failed and killed people? These wood cribs are infinitely stronger than typical $30-50 metal stands, industry uses wood cribs to hold up buildings, ships and railroads. Even though everyone uses standard 2x4s, the typical car is less than 4,000lbs...these cribs could probably support 20,000lbs before a failure.
