Don't want to reinvent the tire, so been googling truck cranes, for ideas I could use to make one. Found one that looked like great inspiration, but it was on pinterest, and, of course, the link to the article on it was nonexistent, so all I have is a photo. However, did find this article on making one. Not really what I am looking for, similar, but not quite. Reason I want a crane is free firewood is often available, simply for picking up. Don't want for firewood, but to start making a few Tikis again. Can't lift much anymore, so need a crane. I figure maybe some of you might be interested in making one too, so here is the link. https://suncatcherstudio.com/truck-crane/
Actually, I may make at least part of a crane with wood, but my ultimate goal would be one entirely out of wood, less a hydraulic lift or winch. But an all metal build wouldn't hurt my feelings.
