my mate made his out of ol engine stands, told me it was very very easy to do

I had both ends connected with scaffy clamps and a length of scaffolding pipe and some wheels on it so it could be wheeled about the workshop.

arghhhhh ...the ...vent.

TBH a rollover jig is the best thing ever when stitch welding a shell and yet more than half the people I see fabricating a jig don't even weld the reason for making it in the first place.
