nice work on the crane

[Stuff]

Wolfgang!! wonderful crane!!!

[Southgate]

I haven't seen this one before. Super work all around. I can see why you have to operate it outdoors! I like the all metal construction. I reminds me somewhat of the modern tower cranes. I assume it will rotate and have operating drums and all, huh? Great piece of machinery. Dan

[Rvjimd]

VERY COOL! I love the old style stuff!

Nice. In one of your first pictures, what are you using for tires and wheels? They look very good.

[RoadFlyer]

Really nice job. I didn't see any but I suspect you are going to have outriggers so it will not topple over in high winds. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Adrian]

What a machine!

Looks really good and seems to work well too.

Your model making skills are great, looking forward to seeing more.

[Kingcam2]

looking good so far Seilbagger.

[Seilbagger]

**** all,

the chassis of the sitting room is nearly finished.

A simple suspension gives a little comfort by racing over the highway, lol

Hey Jim,


its a aluminum sheet from the craftsman market (oh god, my english :D). I tried to turn it over a round wooden, but its better to turn it by hand.

Wow! I like it! Great job again!
Cheer's, Neil.

[Rvjimd]

Very cool! We need some video dumping concrete. Are you planning a high rise building or new concrete slab bridge or something now that you have a tower crane and concrete bucket?;)

Perhaps, Jim. This would be a good idea, but first i must be retire, need a lot of time to do this.

Yes, construct a big building with the crane and when it will be finished: Lets go with the clamshell and the wrecking ball:D
