    Yeah, I used to assemble and deliver couches and recliners, and those arent small enough to "just fit" through a door. But you have ways to do it like rotate it as you go in. I was totally thinking that he had plenty of enough room to rotate that stand through the door. With wheels, it would have been even easier. kids these days just don't take the time to venture into the possibilities.

    what would be cool would be the base of the stand being a plentum with many small holes drilled in the floor side of it. Then you have an air source pressurize the plentum and the vise floats on a cushion of air to where you push it. You could move a power hammer that way. Just a neat, elegant, "non moving part" way of doing it.
