Awesome once you are done You could probably sell your invention to the drywall hanger

The drywall hanger's boss will require the drywall hanger to run...on stilts...so this wonderful lift would just get in the way. I love so many things about Mr Howarth's talents, projects, and execution. I especially love the way he cracks himself up as witnessed by the liberal sprinkling of chuckles throughout our time together. Thanks, Frank!!

Ok, I was a tool and die maker for 43 years, essentially enough background and hands on for mechanical engineering, but with other college education....you would be better off with a business degree because the economy of scale here is a complete train wreck....30k of CNC router cutting table and cutting tools to make a panel lifter that could be bought at harbor freight for 200 bucks....really...come on???? The time, improvement variations, Baltic birch plywood was alone worth half the cost of a simple panel lifter.....if you're sinking money into CNC routers, hell make ornate custom cabinets etc etc for the ROI, not something a kung fu panel lifter can do for 200 bucks....yes great engineering, but it was a pyrrhic victory.

I've used drywall panel lifts on multiple projects, which can now be purchased for under $200.00, they are heavy, somewhat cumbersome, but they work. Your build is a much nicer concept and execution. Lightweight, functional and way cooler to look at at. Very nice Frank.

yeah those things are way overbuilt for what they do and super heavy. On the other hand, they generally fold up in a way that frank's does not.

holy..... wood working . SO smooth, so smooth, so soft. You are like God with wood. So beautiful.

Frank, you need to be awarded an honorary mechanical engineering degree for your mechanical design skills. Can't wait to see what you come up with in your "metal working" shop.

I don't think anybody on KZread is on this level. Very cool!

So beautiful seeing wood products. Stunning work!

Super cool. “You could have rented.” “But then I’d have gotten nothing out of the project.” Frank, you have to document the railroad build. There are some great ones out there, but I feel like the Howarth Pacific will be thoughtful and artistic like no other. If you’re not aware of DCC train control systems such as Digitrax, NCE, et. al., be sure to research them. It’s so cool to be able to control many trains independently on the same track, and there’s much more beyond that, including computer monitoring, traffic control, and automation. Reserve plenty of physical space for the railroad, because you won’t just be running one train in a loop. You’ll be mounting operating sessions with friends...hauling freight, making up trains in classification yards, dispatching freights while the SP Daylight runs passenger service along the Pacific coast under computer control. It’s fun and challenging!

Your videos are always well worth the wait! Not to mention the incredible production value. Keep on keepin on.

Just awesome... we are lucky to watch videos like this that make of youtube a better place.

Just a suggestion on the locking ratchet arm, perhaps put a spring (or even a rubber band) on it so that it always engages the gear without it accidentally getting knocked off. As always, this is very ingenious! My goodness, your son has gotten taller!

I was about to suggest the same sorta thing. I'd hate to have that paw get accidentally nudged and bring the whole thing down on your head. It wouldn't need much tension, and you could make it so it could unhook easily when you did want to crank it down. Otherwise awesome design, I've got a big tall wall I'm going to be paneling in a few months and so I've been looking at drywall lifts. This is so much cooler, but not quite as practical for my specific purpose vs yours.

Or maybe a metal weight on short arm to press the stop into the gear when it is in place but still allow it to swing out of the way without adding and removing a spring or rubberband.

This was the only error Frank made in an otherwise awesome build. One tiny spring will make a world of difference.

Fantastic work. I hope Matthias Wandel sees this. He’d be really impressed I’m sure.

Mr. Howarth, This was the 1st of your vids I watched. I then spent the last few hours off and on watching random vids to get a better sense of how you work and how your style has evolved. WOW! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your MANY talents with us mere mortal men.

Such a joy to watch your creativity and the videos Frank. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant! Calvin has certainly grown since his adventure in the water tank...:-). Thanks for sharing Frank, always a great addition to my Sunday morning coffee.

Great design! And I really like that you put the whole project in a single video. A lot of "content creators" would've broken this into half a dozen videos...

Matthias would be proud. Very cool project.

Frank, not ONCE have you dissapounted me with a video. the amount of effort and quality you put into each video. The camera work, The animations. I *LOVE* it

Frank your just amazing. As I watch you think through your projects I so wish my Dad was still alive. He would love to watch the way you design stuff. He used to be like that as well but he had no computer experience whatsoever. He had to design and trial and error everything but I never saw him fail. Thanks sir!

I just love watching all your works. You also make/edit videos really well. So much talent! I really appreciate it Frank. Thanks.

By far, in terms of design, the best looking DIY panel lift I've watched: small foorprint, clean and practical lines. But oh, to have the equipment you have :) Well done!

Such a cool project, Frank! You had more patience just in your drawing of the model multiple times than I have had in my whole life!

Awesome. This thing has quite a medieval feel to it.

Bravo! I always love your videos Frank. Thanks for taking the time to make and share them.

Your ingenuity is fantastic Frank. I'm a little envious of the amount of space you have to work in! So happy the project worked as planned.

Totally mind-boggling as usual! Every time I watch one of Frank's videos I think "How the hell does he come up with these projects" and continue to be amazed.................. :)

Sapele Steve be creative think outside the box;) have a imagination and fantasy and then just try.;) Works for me.

Hi Frank, I stumbled across your channel last week and I’ve since binge watched all of your videos. Your approach to design ,woodworking and the way you produce your videos is so utterly captivating and satisfying. Thanks so much for sharing, I can’t wait for the next video!

Love watching your iterative process Frank. It’s very therapeutic and calming to see! Completely the opposite of how we work so it’s a pleasure to watch

I stumbled upon your video on how to diy myself a drywall lift. We don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a simple design to lift drywall on the ceiling. Your design will help me build a similar one with wood, metal gears. Fantastic video!

I can't say I would ever make one of these but the videos you put out are always amazing. I can't wait to see them regardless of what it is about. Thanks for posting and all the work you do in just the editing.

I love watching your videos Frank! You are one of my favoirites and you encourage me to do better in all my projects.

So satisfying to watch. 19 minutes of your video goes by so fast. Your skills are out of this world--mechanical, technical and manual. Once again, great video!

All these years I have been using a stick that's slightly longer than the floor to ceiling dimension! Who knew you could just whip up one of these in only a few days (plus cad time). I do love a good over build; great video.

Amazing work Frank. Your projects never cease to amaze me.

As always... a great project and excellent realization!!! Thank you Frank!!!

Awesome video Frank!

I have no woodworking background or experience, but I love your videos so much. They're really well-made and thoughtful and artistic. Can't wait for the next one!

Once again Frank, Masterfully done.

Greatest thing about this project is its potential. You will surely find many uses for that thing, neat invention and as always awesome video!

Excellent project Frank... Ingenious!! Glad to see you son working with you, we have to pass the skills to the next generation so they aren't lost.

You are incredibly talented in so many areas! So glad you make the videos as long as needed.

The world is a better place with you.

Great project. Thanks for taking us on your though and planning process along with the build. Jim

This project and your hallway/ kitchen organizer with the trash and recycling bins I think exemplifies your design aesthetic, Mechanical Whimsy. It has a very Michael Graves feel to it. Love it!

just wow, i mean wow. Is there anything you wont make? would somebody give this man his own TV show already.

I managed to put up a shelf yesterday, so I feel we're on the same ability level. Well done with that amazing project! A joy to watch these creations.

You are an artist Frank!! Kudos to your craftmanship!!

I have been to Vinci in Tuscany, Italy where there is a fine museum of wooden full scale copies of it's most famous son's doodles in his notebooks. A bicycle, flying machine, olive oil press etc. Leonardo was a pretty smart man and would have given an A+ for Frank's panel lift.

Elliot Lake Ontario Canada. Nice project Frank, enjoyed watching it all come together. Thanks for sharing.

I am always impressed with your ideas and how the problems are tackled. Thank you again.

Getting "side tracked" is an understatement

You're a genius!!! I'm so amazed at all the tools and machinery you were using.

This is one determined man. Loved the project. Birdy

That was a lot of work and a great outcome. I have to admit that this is the first time that I like seeing pocket holes. They go brilliant with the big gear. And I couldn’t but notice how nicely you aligned them to be as a decorative element of the piece. Brilliant! Cheers

This is my favourite of all your projects. It’s wonderful to see a creative and elegant solution to a practical problem. It also reminds me a bit of a large Lego set being assembled. 👏

The production quality of the video from the shots, the voice over and the animations are as impressive as the project itself - as always! Mad skills everywhere you turn :)

Brilliant, Frank! Truly enjoyable to watch. Your projects and videos are superb. Thanks for sharing all that with us!

That's a very well-thought-out and well-built tool, considering you'll probably only use it a few times. I admire your tenacity Frank. And thanks for all the effort you put into your videos - it takes a lot of extra time to set up a new shot for each little thing you do. It makes it very enjoyable to watch.

Your stop motion skills are phenomenal.

Oh wow, this was a delight to watch! So fun! So elegant! What a great little project.

Ingenious Frank. Great build!

Incredible craftsmanship. I only hope I have that much time when I grow up to work on these sorts of projects. The sorts of projects that are more about pushing your limits of designing, engineering, and finishing...and less about the final product. Great, great work.

Amazing job Frank, well done.

I'm always so inspired by your videos Frank!! Excellent work!!

This video is a absolutely must see in wood projects.

Love your videos Frank. Well thought out and presented and always excellent commentary. Very soothing watching your videos. Can't wait to see what is next.

Wow, Frank. I am amazed at that design. Brilliant.

Frank, you are on another level. Amazing!

Is it practical? Is it art? It's both! Nicely done.

absolutely Love this project!. Great work Frank.

I love overbuilt stuff. Cool ideas, well executed!

Excellent as usual!!! I love this project, it is clearly the best panel lift $1000 can buy. I want one.

As always he dazzles us with things that are awesome. Thank you Frank. You are one of the "cut-Above's". Oh indeed yes.

This one might get really popular, freaking amazing Frank. As always your narration would keep me calm in a hurricane

As always, very cleaver and useful. Enjoy watching your thoughts and plans come to life!

OMGosh, Frank. This project is genius! I don't even have a need for a sheet goods lift, but I want to build it anyway. Thanks so much for sharing.

Looking great, love your idea. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

Frank, Your editing skill is as amazing as your woodworking!!!

Man that smirk on your face when you put the rack in and it starts spinning the gears is the best.

Frank, you are a genius.

Amazing work Fascinating tool Enjoyed watching you describe the process, from concept to finished creation

You never seem to change Frank, but Lordy how Calvin has. Very nice lift you designed and built.

This is quite elegant and brilliant. Bravo!

As always, very well put together and inspiring. I like the idea of pocket screws in the gear...I’m always learning something new.

I know this is an older one but your brilliance delivers every time I watch!

Sketch Up skills + CNC = Cool & Handy Project.

Cool build! I love the sound it makes

Amazing work as always, you are a true master :) and your projects are always very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Frank. Have a good one

Great work! Thanks again for doing what you do. Always an inspiration.

You never cease to amaze me!

Neat project! I really liked the little stop-motion assembly of the base.

Frank, I love this. So imaginative.

amazing as always. i really like the stop motion of the gears towards the end... almost looks like it’s not moving until you see the middle of the big gear spinning.

Amazing design, work and build Frank!

An amazing amount of work, most of which we didn't see because it was done on the computer!

Great project! Your boy has grown a lot!

Awesome! Very cool use of your CNC.
