Bored&Stroked,
The jib was on the wish list for the building. Luckily my neighbor had this stuff (steel) laying back in the weeds! 12 inch pipe about 13 feet above the floor, 6 foot hole, 3 foot dia. poured a 1 foot thick concrete pad for the post to set on. Rebar frame embedded in that base. set the post them poured a yard of concrete around the post. next poured the pipe full of concrete around the 4 rebars I had inserted. The frame is my design. Has Allis WD bearings in the pivot joints. Friend Matt H made the pivot pins. Dayton hoist was picked off facebook market place and repaired. Trolley was given to me by friend Brent H. Jib only has a lift height of 8 feet, hook to floor, but is real handy. Swings 180 into centers of both inside door ways.
A lift of some type has not appeared yet!
Bob, thanks for the link. Wow lots of information there!
Whooped on this end to today, the wood and coating got the best of me!
Side note: We did have the first sweet corn from our garden today!
Regards,
Chris
