High speed cat scan complete.....I agree with the other comment...a little carpet around column would gain full feline approval.😊

Good footage of Ginger, too

That’s a nice piece, Keith! Congratulations on a successful hunt! I’m sure it will make life in the shop more pleasant! Thanks for the “check in!” All the best!

Congratulations on your purchase Kieth. Looks like Ginger wanted to be the main star of your video!

Off the topic 👏👏👏👏 on your weight loss! I hope it’s intentional! Your looking great!

Interesting to see you outside for a change. Great purchase.

Always a pleasure to learn from you Keith

Finally, some uplifting news!

Thanks for the update, Sir! Drive careful - lots of impatient folks out there.

Nice looking Jib crane Keith. With a little, and I do mean little maintenance before you erect it, that crane will out last you. Just remember to grind away any rust on the bottom of the base plate first. Then treat it with some rust repair and finally, a few coats of paint. Great find, fella.👍⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇮🇱🇺🇦🇮🇱

Hey even in the midst of your work you are making time to post a video giving us an update; that is dedication. Thanks, be well! What a nice crane.

Keith, thank you for posting. It will be interesting to see the crane get set up. Yes, fully understood, the day job rules until we can make the leap. Thank you for the overall effort to promote interest in the art. Ty Randy

Hello Keith just a little info use epoxy anchors verses the wedge anchors. You will have better results as far as strength just do a little research we use the heck out of hilti brand as far as machinery installation. Also anchored a 30 ton tugger😊 . My best Tighe

Wow, you’ve really lost a lot of weight! Great job!

Good to see you with the scientist hat still on. Regarding the crane, now THAT is what I call a score!!!! That's awesome and is going to really help out and not burden you with having to make one.

Glad you've finaly bought a better jib crane ☆☆☆☆☆ Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts

Nice to hear that You're doing well, and I must say that You really "look the part" as well. :) Best regards

Greetings from Lithonia, Georgia. I fully understand that beans and bacon come before entertaining strangers. My feelings are not hurt. That's gonna be one sweet addition to your shop. Be well.

Keith, congratulations on the weight loss-been there myself and I know what it takes. I was looking at some old videos and the change is startling. Makes it a lot easier to move, doesn’t it?

We will miss our "iron fix" but you've gotta do what you've gotta do!

Good for you. Sir - good on yuh.

Nice little window into how you think about assessing load capacity, re-purposing and modifying equipment in general. Short videos on seemingly unimportant topics can hold nuggets of highly valuable and interesting information. Its easy to forget as we advance in our fields of interest that not everyone knows or has encountered all these little details that comprise our experience and knowledge base. I'm always acutely aware while overhearing snippets of conversation between old timers that I'm learning deep, hard-won lessons in just a few of their words.

Nice Keith, that will do a better lift assist for your large projects and changing chuck

You look as if you’ve lost a little bit of weight and you very good Keith (meant kindly ) , thanks for the update and I’ll look forward to Friday and the capstan work !!! I’ve followed Leo from the start of his boat project .

Looks fantastic even looks younger.... Great job Keith hi from down under

Hey Keith, I helped install a 3T crane like this, one of the things we did because the slab was only 8" thick was to drill out a 10" hole though the slab, and down about 6' into the earth, we stuck some thick wall pipe (10' long) down into the hole and filled around it with concrete all the way back up to the slab, after that the column was placed over the pipe, and we drilled and welded 10 bolts onto it, we used that to clamp around the pipe bedded into the ground to the column and then bolted the column's base to the slab with some redhead anchors and it ever moved.

Wow! You manage to find the best stuff. Have a great week.

Nice to see you outside of the shop.

Glad to see you got that jib crane instead of having to wrestle around that A frame.

Thank you for sharing.👍

Thanks for sharing 👍 It's that time of year. Please be safe in your travels 🙏

Real nice find. This'll be a worthy addition.

Great news I install a similar Jib Crane in a Machine Shop for Grinding and Welding large M&M and Waukesha Cranks. Thanks for checking if the base pad will be suitable to work with the Concrete, I had some concerns after my past Jib Crane and having a 3-inch depth of concrete.

Sure glad that you found that. The current situation was rather concerning. Now, the problem is that things tend to get used for other things that are way heavier than we ever imagined they would be. I'd suggest that you lay out the bolt holes on the floor and drill out about a six inch concrete plug at each location. Dig down however deep you can, belling out the holes. Install appropriate J bolts and fill with high strength concrete. The crane can then be installed in the same manner in which Adam did his. I'm sure that there are viewers out there close to your location that would be more than willing to help, as would I if I was on that side of the country. Stay health young man.

Thank you Keith!

I remember when Adam Booth put his in, I hope you enjoy yours as much as he enjoys his.

I can sympathize with the work travel for sure. I watched the prior four videos during a 2 week stay in India. Looking forward to seeing the new crane in action.

I also contemplated about building my own gib crane. But after pricing out my construction list, I saved a whole bunch of time and money by going to H. F.! They don’t have a great reputation for high quality products, but I must say their gib crane was a good investment! Congrats on your purchase, I think you did great! Steve M

Nice find Keith, you'll love having it available once installed. Have one of your engineering buddies check your foundation. They are notorious for pulling out anchors if not installed properly. Thanks for sharing.

Keith, that shop has to be full. Lol. Love your work and style.

Congratulations.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Vice purchase and idea. Mounting that will require the column to be perfectly plumb or else the crane is going to want to swing to the "tilt". I saw ABOM install his and they were very particular about that because the bearing is very smooth and will allow the rotation to be very easy so if it is off plumb, it will always want to swing to the one position. Of course, you knew this. Just a precaution.

You can be out a fair bit without any issues. They run smooth if your bearings are clean but not that smooth it runs away constantly.

Dump a little dirt in the bearing to keep the arm from swinging away from you. Ginger won’t like the grinding noise. Just kidding. 😉😉😉

On that size a crane, yes, on this size a crane, you don't really need to be that precise and it's not used every job, just lathe jobs. Personally, i'd actually mount it with an offset towards the area between the two lathes so it naturally wants to fall into that spot when not in use. Like i said, not a every day crane.

A bubble level will do just fine. Do you really expect him to just plop it on the floor and call it good? Any error in the column is multiplied by the jib length., for example 0.01"/ft of deviation on a 10' column translates to 0.040" deviation at the outer end of a 4' jib, 0.02" deviation at 2', 0.03" at 3'. Even a 4' carpenters level can do better than 0.04"/ft. Since Keith knows how to read a bubble level, and how to check the accuracy of one I don't think he'll have a problem getting it dang near dead nuts.

@@truracer20 Well, Keith did say his engineer friends said he could. that is why I mention it should be plumb and you can't get that simply bolting it to the concrete. If you read my post, I did say Keith knows what to do since he is above bar in his work. The bearing is super sensitive so it will swing on its own if its not within a specified plumb. I love the expert who suggested pouring dirt into the bearing to prevent this.

Keith, I tell my buddies that if you can still see your reflection in a mirror you're just fine😂😅

Good find Keith. Would love to buy you lunch or dinner sometime when your in Nashville!

Great buy! Put some rust treatment paint on the base and enjoy that new toy. Eric

Bad Assed! That thing will make a huge difference for material handling and getting those giant chucks on/off.

Will be nice for lifting the big 4 jaw to put on the lathe .

Happy for you that you managed to score one, i know it's not easy to find the right size crane to operate in a lathe area and have it at a price that won't kill the wallet. They're either too big or too small these things. I struggled myself to find one here in Europe for two years before i gave up and caught a flight to Canada just before the CV19 hit, to get one.

Well done , that will be great.

Cool snag!! I love the idea of derating it, makes perfect sense. The bearings and bigger rig will make moving those big jobs a breeze. Buy it new, wear it out, make it do and do without. Lot of life left in that crane.

I realize that you probably won't do this, but--------- the company I worked for installed those things, and proper installation is sawed concrete 54 inches by 54 inches and the hole dug 48 inches deep. Fill with crete and make a pattern for your bolt holes, drill and anchor them in epoxy. Two of us working could do the digging part in 4 hours with a fork lift and dump bucket. Ellis

Go Keith, nice score.

Looks like Ginger approved it!

That’s awesome thanks for sharing

Great find for the shop. Marketplace for the win!

You, adam, and Mr. Pete are my favorite in the usa, Creg and Karen from CEE in austrailia and Blonde hacks are great outside the us.

Happy Monday Keith!😊

As I remember these cranes are tested to twice the advertised weight they can handle. For you reducing the advertised weight is a great way to feeling safe. Others using it should be kept aware of the gross load capabilitys and all keep monitoring them for just because eh. I just saw Leo being excited to getting that capsand has now moved Tally Ho to a new birth on its own power and loaded the main sail to her. All very exciting for all concerned. You are going to love that new lift. Good looking too. Now you can re advertize the max lifting load on the Jib. Stensils are a great way to spend a few more precious dollars, LOL.

Good Morning Keith. Have a good week sir.

That will be handy... and Ginger approves too!

Keith owns collared shirts! Who knew? Congratulations on the find, Keith.

That's going to be a super addition to your shop. The last thing you were lifting on your existing jib crane sure looked sketchy. This will be a much safer way to lift those heavy parts.

Awesome. Glad you found one you can use!

Kieth says, this capstan is heavy. Jib crane arrives next day

The Tally ho project pushes the boundaries of what you can work on.

Great addition 👍. Congrats Keith.

Looks/sounds like perfect find. Safe travels …

Thanks for going outside. Y'all close enough to where I used to live so.... I can see where I wish I was, not this bleak winterscape I see up north here.

A good find.

For those days when too much is just enough. I'm guessing you will run wiring for an electric hoist as well.

awesome find Keith.

Look like a nice find

Great find. Congratulations!

That's good news.

Great deal!

That should help!

Nice find, Keith. It's a bit yellow, tho.

Congratulations, Keith! Great addition to your shop. What’s the best way to send you something that may help you in your shop?

Thanks Keith

Nice, good job

That Jib crane is more than capable for it's intended use although I was interested in how you were going to modify the existing one.

Having it attached to the floor seems way better than a jib being attached to the lathe.

Christmas juuuust a little late ! :)

Haha star of the show's the ginger kitty 🤣
