Default Re: Lattice Boom Crane Build (Wood)

Wow, that boom looks really nice. Patience taken in building it piece by piece sure paid off. Love the lathe, ahem, drill press. Hey, sometimes you have to get creative, and make do with what you have on hand. Great work!

Default it's REALLY alive now!

Got it rigged and hung the clamshell on it, added a pulley for the calming line and off to the pond to find some boulders to UNLOAD!

Really fun to be able to UNLOAD as well as load!

Did someone mention feeding the fish from the barge? Here it is!

Still have some "tuning" on the crane, and finish the cab, and practice with it so it don't look like somebody at the carnival trying to win a stuffed toy!

And, I need to copy the radio settings to my other transmitter and bind to the boat so I don't have to switch one off just to run the other...

I'm sure most of you could see this coming, but it hadn't even crossed my mind. I was at the loading dock practicing with the new crane and clamshell. Moving boulders from the dock and hopper barge to a pile at the end of the dock. Then I saw it! The little rubber tire loader sitting there, hey, try and lift that by the cab and put it on the work barge!

Here is the video...
