Jack stands? 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago

Anybody ever put your bike up on "blocks" using four jack stands on the frame tubing? I've done the teeter-totter route with he bike balancing on a clunk of railroad tie and it works, but I was thinking I'd like to try the jack stands on the four "corners" of the frame for more stability since I'm taking off wheels, rear fender, pipes...changing both oils, replacing front pulley, changing the starter to a Warrior model... With all that going on and no wheels, I'd hate to accidentally bump the bike and have it pivoting on only one point.

Anyone done this successfully...or care to warn me off from doing it?

TIA,

RK
