Re: using the h/t stand on a windy day

When we picked up our 2003 '007', the first thing I did was remove the casters reom the stand and throw them out. Picked up four good casters at 'home depot' with proper locks and decent rolling wheels and installed them on the stand. Just rolls and locks beautiful now.

I dont have the model number,but take your caster into Home Depot, and find you the ones for a Table saw. Now these have heavy wheels and locks. Thanks to Earl out in Nevada for this remedy.
Martin those are the wheels i bought 2 years ago for my stand.Thanks for the great pic!

This thread reminds me of when I was working. We were having coffee break ,the glaziers (guys who install glass) had an "A" frame dolly with glass on it.No one blocked the wheels, a gust of wind came and the dolly with the glass which was tied to the dolly at about 5MPH went off the building and down 5 floors.Made quite a racket and no one hurt as there was no one in the area.A few heads rolled that afternoon.

How about some tent stakes holding down the corners, after you place the stand where you want it (obviously, I am thinking you can place it on dirt or lawn). I was going to suggest a U-bolt, but I don't know if you can get them long enough to drive down for a good hold.

Those anchors were good suggestions, Frank. They parked me out in the middle of the parking lot, so the anchors would have been tough to drive in. I'll consider it for next time, though.

Whenever I have a windy day I stay inside Kevin. Last thing I will go to is a carshow in that condition.

There was never even a slight breeze. The day was perfect for a car show. A lot of sun, then a small cloud would roll through for a short break, then back to sunshine for a while. I posted the question just in case, but they never actually predicted anything but a nice day.

Don't tell her or I will be begging forgiveness forever ...
