Yeah! I just picked up some steel so I can start to put this thing together!

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.

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

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?

{"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.

The blueprints say bolt it with some low profile allen heads in the 10-32 size. From ! cmaster Carr. I have made some progress but have a house full for the weekend so I'll update later with pictures.

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.
