just trying to see how pics work ,after the course i put up a new tower (not as high !)based on the same idea used at gyreum ...i,ll go higher with it a little later though

the cables on the outside not a great idea if it goes higher i,ll change this

the new houses really dont help , i,ll have to knock them later
pics are really easy to put up ! ...just add them them one at a time and keep previewing the post ,well sussed jimmy
Nice one Niall what's the story on the wench what will it lift where can they be got.
That battery looks real fast

winch was got on ebay 38 euros and 25 postage (werkzeuge-online ) specs are a bit confusing though
4000 kg flloating
3170 kg coasting
1350 kg pulling
it says its a pulling not lifting winch , i think 1600 pounds at a 45 degree angle is its safest margin , the cable looks thicker than it actually is (6mm) kinda sorry i didnt get a 8mm one ...its nice and slow when running even with that killer battery , it,d be interesting to know what weight the mast lifting action appears to the winch.........i must stick them on the bread scales
