fred wrote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Chq...ciSu4itOms7qNK I used 3 of those 6x6 beams in a shear legs with the winch mounted on that. Much easier. When I put what the yanks call a swamp cooler on the roof, I hired a ****ing great forklift that was a big as a bus that is used for full 40' containers in the railway yards to put it on the roof. It can drive around as fast as a car on the roads so cost peanuts for the few minutes I had it for. The builders shove the ****ing great coolers that are as big as small car up a ladder. |

Might have done better to have built it on the back of his pickup. |

Yeah, me too. Tom Silva uses that Festool saw and guide quite a lot on the later series of "This Old House" (all available online http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/tv/video). Quite interesting to see how differently the Yanks do many things... -- Reentrant |
