But I didn't know what they are called. Good. Now, I can use the right terms to ask the salesman in the store. Thanks. AKA "Jack stands". Maybe it's a regional thing.  Us 'poor folk' use blocks. I had some 8" x 8" treated posts left over from a deck project that I use. Hey, that works too. Just make sure they're not the real "blocks"; cinderblocks can shatter unexpectedly if you load them up the wrong way. My "ramps" are treated 2x8 planks (also left over from a deck project...) nailed together in a stair-step fashion. Heavy as heck, but extremely cheap for me, since the wood was bought about 50 years ago. Good quality, too; the planks that replaced them needed extra joists in the middle of the old 6' spans to get rid of excessive bouncing. -- ~/Garth - 1966 Glastron V-142 Skiflite: "Blue-Boat" "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." -Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows |
