Jack Stands

[M Thomas Eastham]

I use jack stands all the time for lighter vehicles and equipment but
not when it comes to the 'Bird. For the bird I use large blocks of
wood such as old beams, tree trunks, railroad ties, etc. I don't
trust manufactured jack stands near their rated load because the
metal is machine formed, pressed and welded. Wood has been
supporting heavy loads for a long time and I trust it with my life.
Think about the kind of loads a railroad tie sees over the course of
it's life.
