It all began when I had a 25 yo moment and strained my back!
I decided that something had to be done?
I started by going and cutting up an old trailor house frame
that mu dad gave me years ago, and the rest is a work in progress.......
This is my way of building a trolley,
After many hours of rigging I had my first beam up
What a happy time....
Then I had to figure out a way to bend a peice of channel 45deg to get to my welding table. This took about 2 1/2 hrs and some thinking
But it turned out OK.
After I made the turn then I just had to get over my table??????
I got lucky and my over 45 deg bend was perfect to center my table, the beam was only 9' long so I could carry it up the ladder with me and not rely on pullys and chains like on the first run.
After all that I figured some new paint was in order to top off all the hard work
I plan to go to electric hoists to ease the pain of pulling the chain
Has anyone ever converted a chain fall to electric?????
