Rethinking trolleys for moving a piano around the shop during a full 
rebuild. 

Alright...this is the last time I make one of these...There are just too 
many rolling contrivances in my shop that are in between jobs, stacked 
up cluttering the place up. 

On the plus side, they get the piano at a comfortable height to do belly 
work, and they move around the shop like a charm. 

On the negative side, you gotta build the darn thing for each job, then 
disassemble it ( or trip over it till you get lucky and get a piano 
that's the same size). 

Also big on the negative side, is its really hard to do the dead lift 
necessary to get the piano up onto the trolley...no tilting to make life 
a little easier. 

So...what are the other options out there in the small one/two man shop 
out there??
