looks good. If you want it self contained (no running wires or power etc through the turn table) put the 4th servo for spinning in the top half there. Did that for my unit crane. works awesome. batteries double as ballast lol

Very cool build! Can I see your drum and cable setup? I am building a machine what will have lots of drums and cables and im curious to see how you set everything up!

Jo,

I'm not quite to that point just yet. I just started turning pulleys today and I have find a drill chuck for the tail stock on the lathe before I can center drill them or the drums. I'm not sure if you can tell from one of the pictures, but the drums for the hoist, crowd and boom will be positioned in the center of the "window" right off the gear end of the servos.

You may be able to find more on the unit crane build done by small haul. He has a few pics showing the same sort of thing that I'll be doing.


I hope to be mounting drums in a few days so stay tuned, I am sure to post more pics when I get it to that point.
