SPREE / AERO HOW TO BUILD A ROLLING WORK STAND

I made a work stand for my Spree and it has helped me out .
So I thought I would see if it could help anyone else ?
Please note : This is best used with the floor board OFF but will also work with floor board on just be careful you don't bend or damage the floor board .
