Well, it took me awhile to get this project started. The hardest part was probably deciding what I wanted to do for my first build

Any plans yet how you're going to do the crane part?

Thank you.
I have a few ideas. For boom I'm going to use brass, which means I have to make up a jig of some sort to keep things square. As for the hoist, lift and drag winches i will use gear motors.
But I will have to get my lathe running

before I can start working on things like the cable drums, pulleys or the swing ring.
