  I have been a lurker on the list for years but never contributed. The =
information is very thorough, but I did feel like I had something to add =
on jacks.  I have a machinist that has helped me with the idea and have =
a few of these jacks.  I have taken a Fulton screw jack, like you would =
see on a boat trailer, cut the wheel off and put a plate on the bottom.  =
Then just take a small pipe and plate and weld to the top, put a chair =
leg rubber end on it and it stays fine.   I think the overall height is =
about 21".  It's been awhile, just make sure that your jack handle will =
turn when it is under the piano.  It is the slickest thing I have ever =
seen for this.  It just takes one jack and a couple of pieces of 2X4.  =
No lifting, no hassles, great for leg repair.  Stick it under the piano =
and crank a couple of turns, it is all one piece and very easy to carry, =
takes up almost no room in the truck, and lifts 2000 lbs. =20

           Phil,

              Thanks for your contribution, but I'm having trouble =
visualizing this setup.=20

              `Possible pictures to illustrate?

              Thanks,

  Sorry that the picture took so long.  The jack originally had a wheel =
on it that was cut off.  A cap was put on the top and pipe welded to it. =
 The cap on the top is to be able to grease the gear inside.  That was =
welded over because the jack will not be used outside and there is =
really no reason to grease it.  A pipe was welded to that, it is really =
simple and works fantastic, just make sure that your pipe on top is long =
enough to be able to crank that handle as it is under the piano.  The =
handle rises with the jack as you turn it up.  I have a machinist that =
would love to make a bunch of these if there would be any interest. =20
