I dont care to have wheel chock on mine. It will get in the way when I want to use my front stand. |

How do you keep the stands in place? That would make me very nervous....+1 for a wheel chock.

they keep themselves in place. They dont roll even if I try pushing the bike front and back. I do however have a wedge placed at the stands wheels. |

You should use some thin sheet metal flashing with a 90 degree bend on the top for the edges so they dont get all knackered and banged up.
Ill definately be building myself one of these once I get some spare cash.

I thought of using some drywall corner bead, but its really not necessary. You really dont bang in to it. I can see with time (years) the top surface getting worn from dropping tools on top of it. |

Looks great! I might just have to try my hand at building one. I wonder would could be put over the top to make it easier clean once i inevitably spill oil on it. A decent sheet of Aluminum?

I wouldn't make the surface slippery. If you were to add something for spills I guess you could place it under the engine area. As long as it's structurally solid, there really isn't a right or wrong to it. Whatever works best for you. |

I built a table like that long ago for a racebike project.
I didn't paint or cover it, and pretty quick it looked like ass.
Paint or metal for the top, IMO.
As far as slippery, my shop lifts are painted (or powdercoated, not sure which) and it's not a problem.
That's assuming you clean up oil/coolant/whatever spills before rolling on or off...

Now that i think about it, maybe i can find some cheap "diamond plate" aluminium or paint it with truck bed liner spray. Either should work well.

I'm sure there's some good paint, maybe epoxy, ducpainter might know.
IMO, go with smooth alumimum.
Diamond plate will be a PITA, go regular sheet.

what about flat sheets of HVAC ducting material? Its pretty cheap. Usually used to pan out joist for a cold air return in a homes heating system. |

In the construction field we use a type of plywood call "formply". We use it in build concrete forms. It has a top layer on it that is smooth and very durable. We can use the same form may times over. So maybe thats a option. Its more expense then regular plywood...but save a step and...it will last forever.
