So I'm thinking of making some stands from wood, and jacking it up in stages

Hello'o!
Here is the rivet and weld section of the usenet, not the dowel and clue
part of it (that I would locate far bejond some dark corner).
So we would all suggest to make your stand out of steel and save your
live.
Even a smal car on your chest is no fun. I know someone who has broken
_all_ ribs except 3 or 4 when a car fell on his chest (during an race
accident).
