Greetings, Watching the thread on dollies and affecting their stabilization got me thinking. Generally, that is not always a good or recommended procedure (the thinking), but I will let my brain/finger connection get the best of me on this one occasion. I have a 1926 Schumann <6' grand that the movers screwed up royally. They put the piano on its legs and when I inspected it, I found that 2 legs have stripped screws that are falling out, and the third leg had no lag bolts at all. Instead, one of the movers put about 6 deck screws up through the bottom to hold it on... :-/ So, I am tasked with repairing this and making it right. Here's where the other topic kicked around in my mind. I know that Ron N. provided a link to some house holding jack stands. I'm wondering about the veracity of getting 3 of these, use my jack in the box to lift up each side, remove the leg and install a jack stand. Then I can plug the lag bolt holes, redrill and reattach each leg properly. Am I nuts, or does this sound doable? I'd hate to have to hire a mover to put it on it's side, etc. My brain says it's sort of like putting the old Model T on blocks and attending to repairs... :-) Thoughts and conclusions? Safety precautions? Regards, Rob McCall McCall Piano Service, LLC www.mccallpiano.com Murrieta, CA 951-698-1875 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
