I'm lucky enough to be tall, 6'4", like Gordon and I also have "ape" arms, I
take a 38" sleeve length, so grand actions aren't a problem for me.

I have used those folding sawhorses and an old keybed for an adjustment
table when I had to do grand action regulating on site that was more easily
performed on my bench, setting hammer height, adjusting jacks under
knuckles, adjusting rep levers and backchecks etc.
