Remember this thread ? Well, I tried building it using 2x4's and
plywood as a "test" I did spend $80 on bevel gears and a few others
things. Built it and it did not work very well, had a hard time lifting
about 400 lbs. but was showing potential for functioning properly and I was
going to change it around and then buy the steel.
Wife came out and saw what I was doing and said "You know your life
insurance is fully paid up but I would prefer you stuck around rather than
me having to train a new husband" As a result my Singer is sitting on a
BendPak scissor lift as we speak, found one on E-bay that was only 58miles
away according to Mapquest, at my wife's request I bid on it and even used
her account to buy it, its in my garage :)
As usual you guys were right, I much prefer this over what I was going
to try and build. Much stronger and much much safer than anything I could
build. Less portability and requires 110volt but did I mention much safer
? That sucker is HEAVY! brought it home on my car trailer.
Thanks for all the suggestions on my stupid idea and not laughing too
hard, I did learn a lot.
Mike
