This photo of the rig I made is the same one that was in the blue, below (in another previous post) there have been some modifications to the structure and the derrik and of course the color of the paint.

Standing upright, it is approximately 6 feet tall.

Work Over Pictures

Here are some more recent photos of my workover rig. I hope you enjoy the photos.

This is a picture of a workover rig that is still being worked on, there is much to do. I built my own seat and steering wheel, well, I built it all. the motor and the derrik stand that you see that have not been painted was just built. I still have to get some more parts, like pully's, and more wood for the derrik and I am also working to where I can have it raised with out using my hands to help it. In other words, I want to motorize it. I also added clear plexiglass plastic for windows, which you can not see at this moment, until I am able to take another photo during the day when the sun is out. This is all I have at this time. Remember to email me here if you have any photos or questions. llongoria@gvtc.com

Hi my viewers! These are the pictures that have been taken about a week ago outside my house. As you can see, these pictures were taken as the sun was going down and some that have been taken at night. I am still working on this project, just trying to build more parts for it that are a little complicated. I added some extra lights to give it a realistic look. At this time, I am working on where there won't be as much lights, I am trying to splice them together. Hopefully I can get back with yall sooner.
I also want to let you know, I am working on a work over rig, I don't have any pictures of it as of yet. At this point, I am not happy with the way it looks, because the wheels I made and that are on there, make the body and the cab look to big for the tires. I will try to get some pictures in soon.
If anyone has photos, send them to me in the mail. llongoria@gvtc.com
I would be interested in seeing them. It would also help me to learn what I need to do in order to build more. I will try to get some pics of workover either this Thursday or Friday. I will see yall then.

DRAW WORKS, BLOCK, DERRICK, STRUCTURE.

THESE ARE THE LATEST PHOTOS THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN PAINTED BUT STILL WORKING ON IT. THE BLOCK IT HAS AN ELEVATOR BUT I AM FIXING TO REDO IT, CAUSE I DIDNT LIKE THE ONE I HAVE NOW. DRAW WORKS HAVE BEEN PAINTED. THE DERRICK HAS BEEN PAINTED. THATS ALL I HAVE FOR NOW.

I am almost finished, i have to add a little bit to it. Sometime tomorrow or Saturday I got the whole derrik painted and I will be able to put it in.

The top photo is a picture of the whole derrik. Second photo you can see how tall it is. I haven't measured it yet. I am 5ft 6in and it is a little taller than I am. I have started painting the crown, its going to be yellow. This coming week I will put the derrik up again and you will see it's almost fully painted. Third photo...it the block that I made by hand. Its made out of wood. The photos that I will add later, will show that will also be painted. Fourth photo...Here I am standing next to the derrik. As you can see, it is taller than I am. You can probably say it is about six feet high. Fifth photo...as you can see the symbol of Cinco drilling company I like the shape and the color. This was a drilling rig symbol that used to be in operation back in probably the 70's & 80's. The guy who used to be my step father, used to work for Cinco. My father in law also worked for Cinco when he owned his own business. He was a waelder. I drew the symbol up on wood and painted it onto the wood. If anyone who sees this knows someone who has a picture or has a picture of a Cinco drilling company, I would like to know so I can see photos or maybe aquire some in the nearest future. I have been looking for some for my collection. Last picture is another picture of the block I made. I apprectiate you looking at my website. Like I said, I have seen old timey rigs built of wood but nothing like the way I am making this one. Also, it is not as easy as it looks. Also, if you know where I can get some small tiny lights I would like to put some on my derrik, but find it hard to find some. Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Derrick

I am still working on the derrick. I am half way done. I also added the legs for the derrick.
