How to build a GREAT Jib Crane: Part 3 Fit up and welding

Part 3 takes on a trip the the realm of Smoke and FIRE! There , now that I have the hesterics out of my system.... Part 3 is about two old guys fitting up and welding all the parts for their Jib Cranes :) This week I use a really hot MIG process called Spray Arc to really make a secure weld. After all I don't want Don coming back to haunt me if this thing falls on his head ! On second thought I might bet on his head breaking the crane, Those guys from Louisiana are Tough! :) In this series of videos I take you through all the steps I use to make theses cranes. It's not hard if you have basic metal working tools and abilities and when you are finished you will have a great way to change chucks and load awkward material into your lathe. I make no claims as to the safety of this design and you make them at your own risk.. I load test my cranes to 1 ton before I trust them as they will only ever have to lift about 750 lbs.. Welding skills are critical on this project and if you are not very good at welding I would hire a pro to make the welds... I also through bolt the upper bracket to sturdy walls or beams using at least 5/8" grade 8 bolts.. Please be careful!
