Thank you for publishing this. I loved it and, as an avid DIYer, I can relate to every minute of it. The ridiculous problem to solve (a washing machine in a well). Annoyance at the person who threw the washing machine into the well. The brilliant and thrifty DIY solution concept. The optimism as you start your project that 'it won't even be that hard!' The excitement as the project goes underway. The satisfaction of progress. The small snag. The quick fix. The failed quick fix. The cursing. The broken tool. More cursing. The minor failure of the DIY solution. The quick fix. The mosquitoes and the waning daylight. The budging. The major failure of the DIY solution. The madness and frustration. The cursing. The indifference of the washing machine and the well. The baffling situation of the washing machine suspended in mid air. Cursing the bastard who threw the washing machine in the well. Cursing nature, itself. The self doubt. The realization of the FUCKING PIPE. The rage. The deflation of your spirit. The sunset. Damnit.
I love this. I'd watch your show on TV. Building a similar Greek crane here in rural France to shift a replacement timber wall into position...And I expect I'll break into French like you did starting around 13 minutes in.
Your crane is exactly what I was searching for. I love this video and your ingenuity. I love learning about and practicing mechanical advantage. Esp with pulleys.
We've all been there babe. Publishing this is the work of a true DIY'er who wants to help others learn without making the same mistakes. Thank You for this!
Hey kiddo, next time, try a tripod made from some timber poles, you can ax down right fast, lash the tripod together with some rope, put it over the center of mass, yo can still use your winch by attaching it to two of the poles....simple to set up, simple to tear down. I love that winch! Your setup was tippy, towards the load....a tripod can postion one suporting leg on the opposite side of the load....with a pulley just below the center of a tripod is strong as heck and distributes the load for you
Riona - thank you so much - I move heavy logs onto a trailer and I have gone thru a number of different methods - I absolutely loved the ending and I wish you the best.
@@RinoaL I thought it summed up your day. All the planning, effort and disappointment. I really felt for you. Remember that even Monkeys fall from trees. Keep Rockin!
Good idea, good start. One may consider a A-frame vertical, to wider axle , the attach a A-frame horizontal for the base. Then one could anchor base or add ballast weights. Oil field pole truck for example.
Didn't know you are across the pond I love your ideas with this I will build a crane to build my shed faster by myself plus be safer just have to get some pulleys and a winch cuz I mix old and new together
A metal bracket or reinforcement plate might keep the idler puller from busting off the top once you have the winch re-bushed. For all the difficulties, it worked okay up to the point that the pipe caused it to fail. Not bad for worn parts! I just noticed you have a partial aluminum extension ladder like mine, at least I think it is, going by the missing rung where the dogs to hook into the missing other half take up the spot where a rung would be. I have some aluminum rods from the snowmobile bogies I took apart, maybe one of them could fill the spot. In a pinch, a 2x4 would work as a step, but I'd like to do something more permanent.
1:36 I’m already intrigued and I’m trying to build something similar except my version needs configured for holding an ATV winch. I cannibalized winch from my broken UTV in hopes it could help erect the large Timbers I’m setting for the roof I’m building over my RV
Reminds me of the movie "Flight of the Phoenix" where they had to manually winch aircraft parts in the middle of the desert to construct a new plane out of the parts of their crashed plane. Only thing I observed would be, you might want to construct a box for counterbalance weights to lift heavier objects. Good job!
Lady, I enjoyed this video. I was concerned that the crane was going to come crashing down and it didn't. So, in that, it was a great success. I will send this video to my wife. I'm sure she will like it, too. We are both getting on in years and I'm looking for a crane solution to lift 100 lb bags of cement because somehow it's harder than it used to be. :) But the problem is, or rather, one of the problems is, having a crane in the front of the house. That's a no-no, as I'm sure you're aware. Yours might work if I can get it to lie flat until it's needed. Something to work on. Oh, and I ENJOYED the swearing! :)
I plan to build this again someday, and when I do, i'm going to make special brackets for where the boards connect to each other. You just gave me an idea to make them easily disconnected with pins or bolts.
That mobile crane looked pretty good. What part on it broke at the top? Was it just the 2x4 the pully was attached to? Was that washer attached to something else inside of the well or was it just getting caught up on the walls? They got that thing in there, so I assume it fit at one point, unless the walls shifted inward a bit from time/ sediment.
Nice to see you pottering about making something, but for your sake get some heavy shoes or boots on your feet, preferably steel toe capped. Bare feet or Wellies = NOT GOOD.
You could of given us a heads up, that it was a waste of fucking time. I was thing of building one like that when I saw you building it. Now I know steel all the way.
@@RinoaL people act like they ain't got frustrations and emotions. Haha Internet perfectionism! Frustration is a good motivator to get something right. Certainly warrented😊

totally watched this for 15 minutes when i should have been working well worth it as usual

not bad, need a place to add counterweights, similar to gym barbell weights
no se desespere, no pierda la paciencia en muchas ocasiones nada nos sale como queremos. eres genial inténtalo de nuevo. saludos desde colombia.
thanks :)
Ever have one of those days when the only thing that comes off, is a button on yer shirt?
Is this an english comment?
@@RinoaL Its a old saying in Scotland when things dont go the way you planned.
Oh i see, i hadnt heard of that before.

I really enjoy the aesthetic appeal of this crane
Didn't know you are across the pond I love your ideas with this I will build a crane to build my shed faster by myself plus be safer just have to get some pulleys and a winch cuz I mix old and new together
Yours will probably work better. My old winch is too worn out and gets locked up, and I should have used a better pulley

y’ain’t havin fun til you’re cussin 🤠

I think it would have worked if the roller at the top would have been reinforced just a little more.
agreed
You are awesome! Smart as a whip!

One step away from a catapult, I would say. How big do water balloons get? Nice rig!

Ermmmm...without the Fu#king pipe!" ✊😖
I loved the ending :):):):)::) HAHAHAAAHAAH
i was just searching for a hand winch like yours, looked nice. i subscribed when i watched the washer in the well video. thanks
I felt that shovel rage.
I'm in Love ❤
grumpy smurf
did you every get it out of there
I got the washer out but it was a pain
Are you single ? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
13:34 Are we related? You sound like me when I'm on a tear....I share your frustation...
hahah ya at 14:02 I knew to subscribe. I channel i can relate to!
I like this. I had been thinking about building a combination crane/trebuchet out of some old telephone pole lumber I have. Part toy, part tool. :D
i'd use that well for your next charcoal pit...surely a good fire for a couple of days will break that washing machine down...
It's just a small setback.
Great attempt! I was really rooting for you. Did you ever get it out?
yeah i did
Nice to see you pottering about making something, but for your sake get some heavy shoes or boots on your feet, preferably steel toe capped. Bare feet or Wellies = NOT GOOD.
My wellies are steel capped, but any time you see me without shoes on is because its extremely hot out. ive never hurt my feet because i am careful
@@RinoaL steel capped sandals lol
Feet of steel
@@RinoaL I'm pleased to hear it :)
@@RinoaL Dont let the Safety Karens get to you. HAHA! love the content. Cheers.
Noice!
Once again, Rin.
Awesome!
Super!!!
The slow burn as you realize "This trash is..... GARBAGE!"
lol chill
Explains the demise of Ancient civilization.
Interesting
I like the poo poo words.
I love this lady one bad ass strong woman cussing right to bad I can have her im going to build my crane almost like hers.
Cumbersome is a nice word for this video.
I asked siri her definition relates to this video.
poor concrete over the fucking thing and cover with soil and forget about it.
Till this day the washing machine still in the hole. Jk. I think in another video u got it out
LOL
hulk smash!
You could of given us a heads up, that it was a waste of fucking time. I was thing of building one like that when I saw you building it. Now I know steel all the way.
maybe you didnt watch the intro
@@RinoaL Sorry about that . I take back my statement after reaching the intro.
I shouldve never watched this, everything about it pissed me off lol
lesbians
Pelo menos tentaste. 🙄
I would be happy to make you a set of bushings. I just need the measurements
thanks ill keep that in mind. but Thermionicman already offered to do it
You've got some serious anger issues, perhaps if you built it properly in the first place ??
If i can't get angry over 2 hours of frustration, then when can i get angry?
@@RinoaL never not worth it think it out first
@@RinoaL people act like they ain't got frustrations and emotions.
Haha Internet perfectionism!
Frustration is a good motivator to get something right. Certainly warrented😊
@MrJeep75 i *always* think my anger beforehand, and i only use the anger that is a net-positive and good.
@@RinoaL LOL you're a better planner than me, my outrage is more like 4th of july organized by a 4 year old with a book of matches.
Same angry spirit that threw it down there in the first place came back to haunt the crane. Physics is just tricky sometimes.
