[pianotech] Plans for Grand Skid Board

[Paul T Williams]

How about carbon fiber?

anywho.  If I were to make a board, I would enclose the underside where 
the strap runs through. Why? Because once a year(sometimes more since we 
are usually in a hurry), our moving services and I get a piano lowered on 
the board, and voila! We forgot to run the strap through!  If the strap 
hole was enclosed, we could simply run the strap through without a hitch.

Floyd,
This looks pretty heavy. Hasn't somebody got a design for aluminium or
light steel construction?
