Picked up two 4' pieces of 2x6x3/16 tube today
Left over 1/8 from my dump trailer floor project
My press brake I cobbled together a few years ago, the uprights are from an old camper frame. It has bent anything I have ever asked of it including some 3/8 x 6 flat bar that I made my 4 and 6 ways out of
The resulting piece, not perfect but it's pretty good.
I'll be back at it tomorrow. Stay tuned

You are your toughest critic.

Finally feel like I got something accomplished today!
Picked up where I left off yesterday. Got the shaft in, everything set in place. Put in the uprights to hold the cross piece with the adjuster, put a new handle on the cam, i decided not to use the center cam I made earlier, I think two pieces will be fine. Cut the center out of the clutch, put the lower mounts on, put the mount for the sheave on top. It was nice to see the drum and everything it it's place for the first time Like a new father
Broom lives matter
Access to the bolt that will hold the cross piece with the adjuster on
Top sheave mount
I still have to drill out some rivets and get some longer ones to hold the clutch on to the sprocket. Or should I bolt it on with some 1/4" flatheads?

Nice work!
{"I still have to drill out some rivets and get some longer ones to hold the clutch on to the sprocket. Or should I bolt it on with some 1/4" flatheads?"}<<< What's the blueprints say. That was a nice bend on that steel plate from your homemade brake press, remember the whole world is watching and waiting on this winch build, so no pressure.

There is a small farmi copy on eBay. Interesting over center toggle clutch control.

How much money is going to be in the project. I need a winch but can't justify the high price of buying one.
