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 Mosley worn out string puller =20 Phil, Thanks for your contribution, but I'm having trouble = visualizing this setup.=20 `Possible pictures to illustrate? Thanks, Tom Driscoll =20 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 Phil -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ------=_NextPart_001_001C_01C36282.91DE95A0 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
