Thats some nice work Keith. How did you make the wench if you dont mind telling. Thanks
Only thing I can think about that your talking about are the draw works or the legs. As far as the draw works, I cut it out of board, when I look at pics from draw works from rigs, I draw up the specs then make a template then cut them out. For the legs that holds the derrick, I used some square sticks that you can find in wal-mart or craft stores, I get these flat pieces of poplar wood 4 x2 x3 scants, i draw it into like a triangle shape and hammer it almost to the tip of the hole. I hope I answered your question, if you need any more help or questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer your questions.
