It was rainy the other day so I was looking for a geezer putter project. I ended up making a suitcase weight rack. Just a simple little thing. When I take the loader off I run three 71 lb weights which I mount/dismount by hand - not the best thing for an old back. I took the weights off today and put the loader back on.
Set the rack under -

Pick them up -

Roll them away and set them down -

Now I can mount/dismount and move all three around with ease and no wife yapping at me about my back.

Well now that's just cheating....
And I am going out to make one for me this afternoon.
Thanks for the idea. (y)

Great idea! I might suggest some casters on the stand so it's easier to move around.
