Default Re: New lowering/lifting Device

Hi KimTree,
Nice tool that, Simple, Two points of attachment, Looks robust...looks like ongoing thought and refinement aswell...variations are appearing now..ideas are sometimes very subtle, You just have to reconise them.
Good evening, Gary,nice to have your input I found it interesting and informative.
When I get off my backside and start to fabricate the device, At first I will use mild steel...why because it's cheap, robust and will do the job, As soon as I finnish all my tweaking off my device I will be refabricating it all using alloy steel lighter,stronger, It will be strong from what ever angle the load is applied,I want it to be able to lift a modest amount of load not enought so all you are doing is breaking your craning forks outs. soon as we get some time I will start and I will be posting as I go.
