Is it possible to get a few screen shots of the inside of the manual? Perhaps an example of some of the assembly instructions and/or tools list? I'd like to see what I'm getting into to make sure I have it or can borrow it. Thanks!

Hope this help you these are pics from the book the photos in this thread is each model the plans are written for both welded and bolt together. We are making a video series as well.

Just downloaded mine. Great plans and thorough description of the process!

I am going to send you a PM with my email address, I have some thoughts on improvements from a user's side, but even as-is these are a great help. I'm happy to support the (wives of) the community.

Congrats, I hope your hard work pays off. One suggestion I have for your website is that each of the plans should list out the tools you need to have. I think a lot of people might be scared to buy the plans, thinking they won't have the tools/skill to actually build it.

Good luck!

Ah ha! This is exactly what I was thinking. I saw a picture of tools a few posts ago and thought "Gosh, I don't have all that."

Well hopefully the kits will be done soon I know I am trying for the model 3 series to be first even it it is by special order trying for Christmas. I can say that a hammer, #3 Philip screw driver, and 7/16" open and box wrench will be needed for the kit and whatever you need for the metal covering in the shelf and table top. I used snips and no mar (rubber) hammer I know I am going to make a how to video on covering the wood.

How did you end up doing on the budget for the kits? I know you were thinking about ways to keep the price down.

Well build from the store about 238 more for the larger ones not that much more .. take off about 75 with bed frames. working on lessen the cost by bulk buys so far better on the hardware. So I am building another stand Model-1b this one I am pod casting. My goal is to have Model 3 kit and a Model 1b kit by Christmas.

I just updated Biabstands.com plans to include metric drawings and corrected some of the titles in the plans. I also added pages to the individual products page to give more information hope this helps. Still working on the shopping list I will add that to the manual very soon. If you buy the plans you will get a update by email so you can download the new revised plan.

I been thinking about adding kits as soon as possible one is the parts for the lift system and or a kit for the whole thing. Also a cheap plans like 5 bucks just for the lift system what do y'all think? Sorry I'm from the south.

I lowered my prices to $7.99 come and purchase your plans today.

WOW I cant believe we hit 10,200 views thank you so much for the support.To celebrate I am releasing a video pod cast series to help build these stands. I hope it helps anyone that is building one.Also I am going to build Mighty Mite BIAB. Would like ideas of what paint color. The design is done but a lot of additional add on and improvements. Mighty Might is super small ideal for apartment living and it will be bolt together.

I think one thing to consider with apartment dwellers is that they oftentimes brew indoors. I'd suggest an option for the Mighty Mite that supports eBIAB. Seems like it'd be as simple as putting a wooden top on it instead of installing a burner.

Sorry if this feedback is a little late to the game. Either way, the concept of an apartment sized stand is great.

No not at all I have a induction cooker 3500 watts Love it I do 5 gal batches

Well things did not work out the way I was hoping. So we have a new plan the Model 3 and Model 1 b series will be available at Christmas. The new plan is I will be making the kits and shipping them. I started making the jig today will be done next weekend, The Video is still being done so if you are making a mini mite I did take time to to work on the workbook that goes with the videos and will also start making the videos. I know you got a lot of questions just PM or just post. and Thanks for hanging in there...

Google how to upload longer videos on YouTube. There are a few steps to take but it's easy. You might try it. It's just a free verification system.

As a helpful suggestion - You should probably post a link in this thread to the new forum or posts for easy reference.
