I'll have to take a ride to Attleboro. I need to get out more......
I reread it and have no clue what could possibly be more useless as a description.
Hopefully the attached sketch will help.
In the sketch you see a rectangular frame with a pair of center braces. There is a hole for a bolt through those braces. The spacing between the dual braces is a friction fit for a 2x4 (about 1 1/2 inches.) The end of extension board sticking out of the crane's square tube has a hole in it where it is pinned by the bolt mentioned above.
The 60/40 balance is a guess. I wanted the material to not tilt the platform forward and fall off. It worked very well and when lifted until it contacted the ceiling joists I installed it pivoted to match the slope of the ceiling (about 2-3 in 12.) It would have worked just fine for dry wall but I used fiber cement for fire resistance as the space is a metal working shop with grinding and welding and some day maybe a small forge.
I'm not an artist (surprise surprise) so don't be bashful ask anything about the Rube Goldberg monstrosity and I will try to explain it.

Anyone used the HF knockoff of the Fein Multimaster tool yet? I think it just came out as the Fein just came off patent protection. $59 vs over $300 makes it inticing but then again I keep reminding myself it's HF.
IT, have you been to the store in Attleboro?
