Yes to both, and if you have some extra lumber around...
I have a pile I got from my work they were throwing out a few years ago.
You can make yourself a small Gantry. Many pics and ideas online.
They are very strong and can be made for cheap. Most of these are large ones, but you can get some ideas and scale it down to suit your needs.
