If you want dimensions,I can come up with something,probly wouldn't be all that difficult to make you a drawing,I actually built it fron the picture I saw,then cut and welded what seemed to make sense,the guy who originally built one,tried to post instructions,but they threw me off a bit,kinda not in order,so I figured what have I got to lose,$3 in scrap and some practice,just so happens it actually worked!

Base for bench is 2 inch angle,you need an 8",and a 16" piece, the upright for axle are 8" also,the mandrel is a piece 24" long bent around a b-tank.then 2 pieces 6" long,I bent and welded the loop,then added in the 6" pieces, how I positioned them is put a level on the top flat,then added the 2 in the perfect verticle position,found the center ,drilled a half inch hole,for the axle bolt,which I welded to the 2 6" pieces,the rib on the back is a little too big,but it's what I had,1/8" solid rod,the cleat is 2 7" pieces with a roller,and another on top to hold the tubing when you pull it through!
