<DIV>I have a couple of adjustable (screw type) jack stands that I have used for
installing a stage truck or repairing legs. </DIV>
<DIV>I got them at a local trailer supply store. They work great. Don't
even need a "jack in the box" . </DIV>

face=Arial>Greetings,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Watching the thread on dollies and affecting their stabilization got me
thinking. Generally, that is not always a good or recommended procedure (the
thinking), but I will let my brain/finger connection get the best of me on
this one occasion.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have a 1926 Schumann <6' grand that the movers screwed up royally.
They put the piano on its legs and when I inspected it, I found that 2
legs have stripped screws that are falling out, and the third leg had no lag
bolts at all. Instead, one of the movers put about 6 deck screws up
through the bottom to hold it on... :-/</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So, I am tasked with repairing this and making it right. Here's where the
other topic kicked around in my mind. I know that Ron N. provided a link
to some house holding jack stands. I'm wondering about the veracity of getting
3 of these, use my jack in the box to lift up each side, remove the leg and
install a jack stand. Then I can plug the lag bolt holes, redrill and
reattach each leg properly.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Am I nuts, or does this sound doable? I'd hate to have to hire a
mover to put it on it's side, etc. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My brain says it's sort of like putting the old Model T on blocks and
attending to repairs... :-)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thoughts and conclusions? Safety precautions?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>
