Boy, don't you know it. And for anyone with even a teeny tiny shop setup, there are so many other uses! I am constantly using it for a portable table - just lay a piece of plywood on it. It is my standart portable table when I bleach ivory keys and have to move them outside and in at night. Right now, I am putting a plate in and out of a piano doing bearing, pinblock clearance, etc. When it is out, it goes onto the tilter and is wheeled out of the way! Someone wrote a while back that they spray their plates while on the tilter - my next plate will be refinished while on the tilter - just the right height (besides, my tilter is brand new and it doesn't look broken in yet)! The few caster jobs I have done the clients were ultra impressed that I was so well prepared for the job. ("Oh, I'm so glad I called you instead of letting my Harry try to do that.") I think this is part of how a good word gets around your services. When I get an old upright in my shop for rebuilding, the very first thing that happens is that it gets tilted back and new darnell double wheel casters are installed - from then on it is no problem moving it about the shop. Run, don't walk to get a good tilter if you do not have one! Did I say everyone should have one?
