nice to see the process there alec...

Thanks All for the comments. The engine hoist does surprisingly well - I'm considering getting a cheap 2-ton one and mounting it on a tube to use as a fixed crane on the trailer.

 

Steve - thought you might like seeing the work in progress

 

I was hopeful it was a really good piece and so far it's proved to be excellent. Only a very small number of knots and no other defects of consequence.

 

The bandsaw is great when it's working, but it threw a bit of a fit on this job and got through four bands in half an hour with only about two or three cuts between them. A bit of welding later and back in business though.
