Portable tables

[antares]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment

About 20 years ago, I ordered a 'folding table' made out of aluminum,=20
with wheels, from a specialist in wheel chairs.
I gave them some specific measures and to this day I greatly enjoy this=20=

neat regulation help.
I had them make it so, that it would be approximately as high as the=20
key bed of a grand piano.
It is thus very easy to pull the action onto this 'table', without=20
having to lift the action.
I use this table mainly to temporarily store the action, and to do=20
technical work which does not require the stability of the keybed, such=20=

as positioning wippens, positioning back checks (bending wires etc) and=20=

positioning jacks.
When I don't use that very handy table, my colleagues in the work place=20=

use it all the time to put whatever stuff on it they are busy with.
It shows clearly that these kind of trolleys or moveable work platforms=20=

are indispensable.
