Instructions

• 1). Cut a 4 1/2-foot length of 2-inch pipe.
  
  
• 2). Securely C-clamp the 2 inch pipe to a workbench. Cut a 3/4 inch slot in the pipe leaving 2 inches at either end.
  
  
• 3). Cut four 4-foot lengths of 2-inch angle iron.
  
  
• 4). Weld the lengths of 2-inch angle iron together to form a square base with a brace through the center. Make sure to turn the angle iron so a flat surface is facing up. Weld a caster to each corner. Weld an metal eyelet to the center back of one of the outside edges.
  
  
• 5). Cut three lengths of 1-inch angle iron, two of them 4 feet long and one 6 feet long. Cut a 5-foot length of 1 1/2-inch pipe.
  
  
• 6). Weld the three pieces of 1-inch angle iron together to form a capital letter "I". Weld the 1 1/2-inch pipe to the center beam of the capital letter "I," making sure to secure it on the flat side of the angle iron.
  
  
• 7). Weld the 2-inch pipe to the center of the caster base, making sure to line up the slot with the eyelet that was welded to the base. Weld a 1 1/2-inch pulley wheel in the top 2-inch opening above the slot. Insert the 1 1/2-inch pipe into the base, making sure to square the "I" with the base.
  
  
• 8). Cut a small tab of metal 2 by 2 inches. Drill a hole in the center of this piece.
  
  
• 9). Weld the 2-by-2-inch tab on the bottom of the 1 1/2-inch pipe 4 inches up from the bottom of the pipe.

  Connect the wire-rope come-along to the eyelet on the base. Attach the wire rope to the welded tab on the bottom of the 1 1/2-inch pipe. String the wire rope over the pulley and down to the wire-rope come-along.
