Message	A local mechanic, whom I went to school with. Smart guy, owned a heavy duty shop, was into CNC machining. Had a old pickup on cribbing/stands in his home garage for years. Fell off and killed him this fall. https://london.ctvnews.ca/man-killed-in-listowel-garage-accident-1.3563800 The 1/8" wide bottoms of those jackstands bearing on crap softwood is a disaster waiting to happen. Would be different if you had the jackstands welded to a steel plate sitting on the cribbing.
