Sometimes you just need a little room to work ....

I think I have figured out what the poles and frames are all about. CASE put in the permanent foundation work, but now Walsh needs some temporary work space ... so they build their own.

Adjusting it ... one end would be lifted slightly and a small crane would tug or push it a bit.

Taking shape


Patching the home-made double beam that has obviously seen use before.


We don't need WD-40 !
The cross members are also re-purposed beams
note how they are welded to the double beams that sit on the capstans on the pounded round pipes.


Finally satisfied with the positioning - welding it to the capstan.


Almost done
