Default More than just a thought ...

Picked up a lego crane for xmas... then got too anxious and had it built up 3 weeks before xmas. Really like it but it's not the same as our trucks.

So I decided to build a crane. Not very far along. I've chosen wheels tires axels springs. I purchased a sample test of each and modeled them up in CAD to set the basis of the design.

Pretty good so far - I modeled the axels and tires up this past week. Since I do this before or after work this might be sporatic.

Gibbs98 - the Plan is to show progress start to finish. I am showing the designs as I evolve them. Since I am working on design before and after work, little is happening Saturday and Sunday.

Spent last few days going through the outrigger supports several times and calling different businesses trying to find the right combination of extrusions.
and we have success.
then added sprockets and shafts to drive the primary stage.
