Thanks! When I searched through videos prior to building this, I remember seeing some real Rube Goldberg-style setups. They gave me a good idea of where to start, but I definitely ended up with the most minimal setup I could get away with. I still overthought it quite a bit, so you're not alone!
Nice idea! One suggestion would be to use Unistrut fastened to the rafters instead of the 2x6. A full 10' section would spread out the load a lot more. You could also use a trolley to make moving the load laterally possible if you needed to.
I thought about it, but don’t know of any that are reasonably cheap and decently fast. I have a Warn 2500 winch but I decided against it because it is just so slow. Boy it could lift some weight though.
@@thehacksquatch yeah but you can get some different speeds and they would definitely help on your back. That’s one of the things I’m thinking about trust me. I have so many problems with my body. It isn’t funny I have bad shoulders, bad knees I have three lower disc in my back that are bad too in my upper neck. I wish they could just disconnect me and rebuild my body. Lol.
I believe the way you are using this system is only 2 to 1 advantage. If you were pulling from the bottom, there would be 3 supporting legs, but pulling to the side gives only 2. I'm not a physics guru, but I am pretty sure the leg in hand adds increased mechanical advantage as the pull on it lowers below 90 degrees from horizontal, slowly increasing the advantage from 2 to 1 at horizontal or above to 3 to 1 when the pull is straight down.
Yes, you are correct! I misspoke and added a correction in the video when I mention the mechanical advantage. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. The way I learned it in physics class is you have tension T throughout the rope, so you exert a force of T at the pulling end, and the business end experiences 2T in this case, since it has 2 ropes pulling up on it, regardless of pulling orientation.
Very simple. I was trying to come up with a similar system, and was waaayyy over-thinking it. Great vid. Thanks.

Actually very helpful. Thanks. I subscribed. 👍🏻
Nice. Thanks for sharing. New sub. 🎉
God, I want to see you build Home Alone traps!
Thanks!! I needed to see this.
Love this! and I really have been digging your channel! hope to see more videos soon I already binged them too fast hahaha
Appreciate the support so much, you rock! Got plenty more coming down the pipeline soon enough, don't you worry!

Love that idea! I might take that idea with a trolley as my light-duty shop crane. Even just hanging things for spray painting would be a lot easier.
👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛 you can also hook up an electric pulley system to that if you like.

Cool man
Dude, you make some good content. Thanks!
