I had misgivings about working under a raised FEL and was looking for a way to make it somewhat safer. Ideas from others were to put it up against a tree, put a stand under it, something with boards under it and some suggeested putting cometjhing on cylinder shaft, so I did that.
I made two of these contraptions the other day and thought others could benefit from it.
I put sump pump hose around the shaft so I wouldn't ding it. Then I welded a couple 1-1/4 angle irons together along with a couple fittings so a bolt could hold it in place, just in case.
The confidence level is up on this. I painted it pink so I would be sure to see it, although it wasn't necessary.
