I love do-it-yourself repair stands but being about 2 miles from Dero world headquarters, two years ago they donated a complete repair stand (version 1.0--no longer available) to us. It's been great. In over two years-- in an area where you'd expect vandalism--the pump (version1.0--also no longer available--kit 2 and kit 3 much better) still works and we've only lost two of the tools.

Several exist here in Missoula, Montana, and work well. We've been an advocate for manual pumps instead of the ones run by an air compressor (noise, fuel, space, etc).
But- many of the initial manual (floor) pumps broke.
Now, they are made much stronger and worth the investment I think. Like this one:

A challenge but doable to make your own.

Wondering if anyone one has experience building a simple bike repair station. Looking at setting something up (not near our bike space).
Things
that have worked, things that didn't work so well? Approximate cost of materials? What's a realistic life span?
Thanks for your feedback!
