Lattice Boom Crane Build (Wood)

Tom,

thanks for the encouragment! im planning to put this sucker to work on a barge so im going to use a few pieces of brass tube to bush some of the rotating parts like the tip pulleys just so they wear good.


Finished two pulleys! Ya! I think they will look good turning slow on the tip as the ropes move up and down.

My initial plan was 3/4" at the tip, but these are 1" and I think they will be okay, might look a bit bit but okay, I've seen a few full scale versions with what looks like really big pulleys on the tip.
