Excellent bodge. If you ever find any more spare retort stands/clamps/what-have-you I’d be interested to know. I made a lamp out of one once but some more parts would be fun to play with.
I had to remove some stubborn ferrules from a guitar headstock today. Headset spacers, top cap, a long bolt and a nut made a decent removal tool.

That looks almost too good for a bodge - someone's probably selling an identical tool for £50, probably nae carbon in it either!
All these random bits are in Glasgow i'm afraid - i'm sure i've seen a stand with two uprights somewhere & it's driving me mad, would be an amazing bodge if I got my hands on that...
@psg1ben i'd try and get something between the clamp / stays and the frame in case they start eating into the frame - on the stays a rubber coated p-clip is an ideal bodge for mudguards even if it's not in the true spirit of bodgery, which should be as slapdash as possible

Coming to the realization I'm too much of a tramp to spend £250 on a proper wheel truing stand, I bodged this from a rather hefty clamp stand & pile of old bits that I found tucked away in the corner of an old lab
There's some other bits including adjustable sliding clamps still to be incorporated, this was just to see if it would work, which it does with absolutely no finesse - the rod that holds the wheel is the weak point, will get a thicker diameter bar & get it machined down where the wheel sits to improve stability but other than that, stable AF - weighs a ton
