Geez, I hate to admit it, but it reminds me of a time when I had to clamp an
irregular shaped piece to the milling table. After using all sorts of step
blocks and clamping bolts, I asked a co-worker if he thought the setup was
rigid enough. His reply?

So along the same lines philosophically, I wanted to take my air
compressor off the truck yesterday. It's a 60 gallon vertical. I've
laid some 10 foot planks from the 4 foot high trailer deck to the
ground, and I wheel stuff down on a good 2 wheel cart as I can.
Anyway, when I came to the compressor, I thought I'd give it a try,
betting myself it would be OK, even though it's kind of top heavy. As
I approached the edge and the planks, I asked myself just how
confident I really was, 'cause it was a $900 bet I was making with
myself! Only took half hour to get the starter, motor, and compressor
off. Made it a much safer "bet".

Take care.
