Today I picked up a set of painters pyramids, those small plastic things
the allow you set the door on top of them with the door elevated a
couple of inches so that you can paint the edges, or reach underneath to
move the piece after painting. Wow what a simple solution that works
really really well. I wish that they had been available or that I had
known about them about 300 doors ago. Yes I had been using small blocks
of wood, etc but these only make contact in a very small area on the
bottoms and are less likely to disturb a finish that is not totally cured
yet. $6 for 10.

AAMOF, I learned the following "poor painter's pyramid" about 2000 years
ago:

Scrap plywood "blocks", 2" x 2" square, with a 3" drywall screw through the
middle of each.

Use four of the blocks (with the screw tip up, Woodie!) to lay your work
piece on.

And make a few dozen while you're at it .... easy and cheap!
