  • Publication number: 20110303815
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for supporting a workpiece against a wall (wall or ceiling surface) in order to further mount the workpiece, typically on the wall or ceiling. This helping tool allows a single person to hold a workpiece in place(s) at an elevation while working on final installation. The disclosure includes a knuckle member which at least two generally orthogonal passages therethrough which receive bars having wall pads. The bars can be positionally adjusted within the passageways to preferably create the appropriate shaped “box” enclosure to hold the workpiece. The preferred shape enclosure is the smallest which will hold the piece the closest to the wall surface while being adjustable for different sized workpieces.
