somewhere back in june i decided to build a set of jin poles for the myriad of lifting chores that seem to crop on my property.
i had an old truck (superdodge) named in honour of super dave osborne. it already had a steel deck that i figured would be heavy enough for the task, and i had lots of scrap pieces left over from various projects, so i bought some square tubing, snatch blocks, an 8000lbs winch, and went for it.
the hinges are discarded deck chain from a dumpster behind a sawmill, the hss drop is a piece left over from a front bumper build, and the 1/2x6 flatbar is going to be the base for the winch. the main body of the boom is 2x2x.125 hss.
