Sheesh Dave, I have to make sure my wife doesn't see this thread as you're making the rest of us look like we move in reverse. Looks great.

Vintage car guy should have vintage "Hay fork" for the lifting devise to the loft. Really enjoy the thread for the property build.

You guys are too kind! I'm glad you all are enjoying my thread, and I expect you all to attend my funeral when this is done since I'll be dead from exhaustion!
![]() ![]() ![]() Funny you say that, Kevin, since I've been looking at those and also getting something like this for the trolley. I think both of these things together, along with the winch, may exceed the weight capacity of the loft! ![]() ![]() More progress this week, and fear not! The BMW 507 thread and Crusty Cuda thread have parts purchases to update once they get here. ![]() ![]() Cheers... and thanks! ![]() Last edited by A12pilot; 01-07-2019 at 10:09 PM. |

The hay fork in picture is from my clan and was in the family barn from around 1900 in Primrose, Ontario.

Oh, wow! That's pretty cool, Kevin. Is it now retired and living a comfortable life as a show piece or is it still slingin' hay? We were thinking of using a big hay hook that grasps the twine together and holds it in the center of the bale prior to lifting, but still undecided right now.

fork long retired, was for the lose hay days I was "next generation" of hay fork that moved the hay bale from wagon to elevator to hay mow in the barn.
The only weak link in your idea would be the strength and reliability of the twine. |

Yes, I thought that too but seems the hay place is using plutonium core twine in these darn bails!
![]() ![]() Moving forward, know what this first picture is? Well, what some people see here is a pile of assorted lumber. What you really see is a sprained hamstring, pulled deltoid, and lower....oh, and upper..... back pain for years to come! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Moving into the tack room, I installed the cabinets and sink to make sure I have things right before drywall mud, texture, and paint work. Once that's done, I'll file the floor and then reinstall. Today I'll hang the wall cabinets as well. So here's the second loft and today I'll finish up the floors and install the jail bar rails. Up next is Fencing: So long back.... again. And Stalls: Why didn't I pay someone to do all of this?! ![]() Cheers ![]() Dave |
