    Since you can obviously weld...why not just build the three angled pieces out of 3"x 3" at 3/16" wall instead of 4 x 4 wood. Seems a lot easier and a lot safer (if welded correctly).

    I lived in both Devon and Cornwall, in south-west England, where there are granite quarries, who sold off-cuts cheaply by the ton. ...... They cut stone with saws, so there were many thicknesses, plus they chiselled surfaces and shapes, and there were broken pieces, plus the 'extras' made in case of breakage, as well as general waste. ...... Some stones were several hundredweight. ...... I bought some stone-carving chisels from a retired monumental mason, and included was a 4 foot tapered steel bar, designed for moving stones. ...... Worth it's weight in gold!

    It's fantastic to see you back again! It's been too long, sent you a tweet a month ago so I'm glad you're back. It was good seeing your methodology in this one. I'd have done my back in attempting this. Great build as always. Hope your drainage is all good now.

    Next time... skip the top blocks. Run a chain around the top.... one bolt through the link and each vertical member. Done!

    Excellent work. But I was worried about the wood glue on the lifting device. And as I am writing that I see it broke on you...🙄

  • @edeaglehouse2221
    @edeaglehouse2221 Рік тому

    I hope with all of those fancy tools, you're being careful. A come-along is a winch, not a hoist. And why the complex joinery at the top? Seems prone to failure. Still, I'm impressed by your effort.

  • @Swintech42
    @Swintech42 11 місяців тому

    Took too many risks in that video, remember the only tool you can't replace is you... Huge block of stone dangling from an under powered winch and you are stood underneath in pumps... Apart from renting one, A better design would have used a single HD pin with a with a few quick links attached between the legs, triple the winch wire up on a few snap blocks and get a mate to help.

    ...FYI: you should have someone fabricate, and weld up the "top bracket/head assembly",... instead of using chunks of wood, with glue and screws!.... how much trust do you have in that assembly??!!...
