Thank you for your comment, To answer your question I didn’t feel like wasting time tearing off the metal and cedar shakes, then having to clean them up and haul it all off. By keeping it all on I saved time, money and it kept everything inside dry. Others might do it differently but this is what I came up with and just wanted to share the idea 👍🏻
I don’t think that’s a big deal. For example my roof has a surface area of about 1000 sqft. If you add 2000lbs and displace it over that area it’s only 2lbs/sqft
Will you be adding ventilation to the roof and attic? I never seen anyone go over top of an existing metal roof but I like it and am gonna do it on the next one I need to fix 💪🏼
hi there @ Cornett Carpentry i see you later on upgrade your power-lifting into chain mechanism.what is the downside of the sling system? did it jump too much, since no backwards resistant ? thank you
It was a little choppy and hard to get precise measurements. Also the design on the old cable lift had a limited range of motion. It works fine I just felt like it could be improved
That would be really cool. I normally hang a bucket under the chute and it does a decent job catching most the dust. Although it fills up pretty quickly
Thats awesome, good luck on your build. For me it’s a never ending cycle of improving and modifying. Next video is already in the making and will be coming out in the near future!
@@cornettcarpentryLooking forward to it. Curious how you make the hydraulics work. I am using chain lift and power feed with wheelchair motors, but I’m skeptical how reliable they will be long term
I built this in high school when I was not very experienced with welding and fabrication. I’m now an ironworker by trade and I take pride in my work. There are things in this video that I would do differently sure, But overall I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and acquired knowledge and experience.
Looks great!! The only thing i didnt see was a spring assist on the blade tightener to keep things tight asthe blade heats up and expands. Might of missed it tho too. Great job tho
The pillow block bearings have slotted mounting holes. originally I was just tapping them around and retightening my bolts but I ended up adding bolts to push and hold the pillow block bearings in place along with the original bolts. It gives me finer adjustments and insures nothing will move around
I don’t have any plans unfortunately I just planned as i built. I have a whole build series on my page and if you need any specific measurements or questions I can help you out
