Disclaimer: I am new to most of the things I post about very much including The topic of this post.
I recently got a new grinder and my workshop is enclosed in a small corner.

so it is not an ideal spot for grinding. so I wanted to make a table that I could pull out and use to grind on. And indeed I did.

I got some plywood and cut it into a 3x3 square and then got some old wood from a bedframe for the legs.

it looks pretty bad but it's not terrible for a start. then I made an X on the bottom to try and stabilize it a bit.

and then I was finished. Then the next day I was in the mood for building! Like usual. I spent an hour thinking of what to do and I decided I would do something with my bike. and then came up with the idea to make a bike stand since I don't have one and have always wanted one.
first, I just got some scrap 2x4's that were probably going to be burned and took all the screws out and cut off the bad spots.
and the screws I couldn't get out. well

grinder!

Now it's gone. I hit the wood a little bit but it doesn't really matter. after cleaning up the wood a little bit I made the base of the bike stand

each board is 3ft long. then I put a 4ft board on those ones facing up

and put aboard wedged and screwed in in between them. I set the bike on it but it was just tearing the board out I don't know why I thought that would hold but I need to come up with a different way to hold the bike.

this works a lot better. this is the second time I used a board on top the first time the screws ripped out and the board came flying at me but I just needed to use longer screws. and now that's finished also. that's the end of the post I didn't do a whole lot but all this will be really helpful.
