    The garage, that is. I'll be thinking about easier ways to tuck Bill into the back of it while keeping the space he takes up to a minimum. Without breaking the bank (I can just leave him on his stand, after all), I've been looking at these two ideas

    The wheel chock, I've seen before and seems to work well. The dolly looks quite funky but also an accident waiting to happen unless the floor's silky smooth.

    Anyone had any experience or thoughts...?

    Yeah they're great. I just don't need to throw that much wedge at it to be honest. A ton is fine to be able to park it upright and save a bit more space and if the dolly is more stable than it looks then it would be a sufficient substitute for the Con stand 1jac type.

    Yeah, got one I use for maintenance. Not bobbin type though so tough to do single handed. Maybe get a bobbin one.
