    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
