A 'Clarke' hydraulic table can do much more than lift your loco!
Four pieces of 4" x 2" (no apologies for writing in old money!) and two bits of scrap ply wood screwed together (not too tightly for a bit of 'give') allow you to simply jack the board up. Begin by lining up and fixing one corner at a leisurely but productive pace........
No more partners pressed into service on the broom!
Maybe we should recommend this method to the Marriage Guidance Council?
A Hydraulic table is not just for Christmas!
