Aerographix, I like your stand but with that large engine, what keeps it from coming after you when you fire it up? The base appears to be a Workmate.....is it?

How do you fasten the base to the floor, or do you?

It is a workmate. I had it running yesterday at 1/4 throttle and I was hanging on for dear life, seriously, I will be installing a servo receiver to run it from a remote area, the air blast is too much for my face.

the whole thing will be tied down with ropes in my back yard, and yes with these mufflers, the noise is quite acceptable.
