I make neckpipes and pullouts all the time. I would need to be at the shop for measurements..

NIce looking set-up, but I would argue for some girts and X braces for tanks on the safety side.

Hinges are a good idea. We have never used them, and have erected a 50 ft tower with an 8 ft Dempster head and wheel. My Boom only goes up 50 ft max, so I've heard. Total weight was too heavy to lift all at once, so we used the "split- tower" method. However, I did manage to bow the rod in...

In the books, Aermotor standard towers are spread, 1/4 the height. Dempsters are 1/5 the height. Or the other way around. Be sure to correct me if I'm wrong.

Amen. lol

That's a keeper.!

I've seen those. Or one anyways. I have no idea what it is.

I really feel bad for you people up north. Horrible cold, and deadly wind chills. Once in a lifetime occurance I hope. Nobody needs to deal with that.

I have a couple that were on 8 footers. Have no idea how they got there. I have no use for them other than to sell them at a really high price to someone who needs them. Haha

My Pillow on steroids.
