Just to clarify, are you asking how to make a bar jack?
Like one of these? http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=298&pid=2982
I don't know how to make one or what you can do other than just muscling the plates on there.

Not so sure there's anything else you can do. I sometimes roll it onto a plate, as you stated. Other times, I just hoist up that side. It is what it is.
Trying using larger bumper plates first. That should get the bar high enough off the ground so you can slid on the iron. That is of course if you have access to bumpers.

Not my video, just searched google. That set up would be easy to buy and put together, not to mention cheap.

That's pretty cool. I can't imagine those pipes/fittings costing more than $20-$30 total, if that.

I saw it, that's why a list is so much easier to use.
