    That hand crank lift is awesome, never seen one before! I was planning on builing a gin pole setup myself, but that lift is such a sweet setup! May have to reconsider, it would be much easier on my body

    It could have so easily ended up in the FailArmy, but it's definitely a Win. This video is an excellent example of the limitlessness of craftsmanship given the right tools.

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms  3 года назад +3

      @331SVTCobra Thanks! You are right that it could have been a major fail. I was scared during each of the beam raisings and relieved when they were all up. Here was the dilemma I faced. The lower-risk alternatives to the daily rate for renting a material lift were all orders of magnitude more expensive (rough terrain forklift at $260/day + delivery fee vs. $75/day for the material lift). Without prior experience, I had no basis for estimating how long I would need the lift. I worried that maybe the pieces would not fit together correctly on the first attempt, requiring time-consuming adjustments and additional rental costs.

    What size timber’s did you use all the way around? And what’s the overall dimensions of the structure?

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms  3 года назад +3

      Slab is 12’ x 24’. Plates and ties 8”x12”. Posts 8”x8”. Rafters 4”x10”. Braces 4”x8”. Roof decking 2”x6” T&G.

    Looks great, what did the timbers cost you?

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms  3 года назад +2

      ~ $13K total before tax, including the pine T&G roof deck. Note that I used "clear" WRC for the posts, ties, and braces. Had I gone with "knotty" cedar, as I did for the rafters, the total cost would have come down to ~$9.5K.

    At the beginning you don't show how the timbers got off the truck. How did you do that part? Also, what is the dolly apparatus that you have (Blue with tires)? Is that a commercially available product?

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms  Год назад +1

      The truck had a dump bed. It backed up into my driveway and dumped the packed wood. I was worried about damage at the time but there wasn’t any. The dolly is a log arch. It’s available for purchase here: logrite.com/Category/log-arches

      @@alexanderloladze613 The Doug Fir plates were each about 28’ before cutting. Don’t hold me to this but I believe I calculated that each plate weighed about 650 - 700 lbs. Different wood species and moisture contents will have different weights.
