Post # 317 here shows a neat looking tool I want to try making some day.
Definitely worth looking at the other links in that post to check out the tool, I think.

Quoted from AUKraut:I've built the same for myself, it's a lifesaver when setting up or breaking down a pin......
Awesome to hear you made one too. I really liked the idea of hardly having to do anything manually and that it isn't a huge cart or anything.
I used to do pins by myself when I was younger. Put front legs on, lean to ground, dead lift rear. Set on knee and push foot up high enough to get back legs on (I'm big and tall so my legs where just long enough).
Years later of doing stupid stuff like that, I've got bad knee, bad back, bad neck; and, I am ALWAYS loving anything that minimizes physical strain (even if it takes longer). Wish I had done stuff slow and careful back then....it catches up to you....
Quoted from NPO:Holy cow- that is genius!!!!!
A lil nugget of knowledge:
If you click on "#317" at the top of that post, you'll get the direct hyperlink to that exact post:

For future help : ) !
Thanks for that! I was wondering how people did that.
knowing (resized).jpgQuoted from ryanwanger:This is what I do. It doesn't seem so bad (unless it's WOZ or TZ). What do you do now? Talk me out of my bad habits!
Well..err...uhmm...
Lol.
This is an area of why I still need to build that device.
I don't have an alternate solution, yet. But I rarely try doing a machine by myself these days because of it.
I'm usually the "bolt the legs on while other guy holds it" person right now.
Still...don't let it get to that point.
