Getting to be more and more like a Crane-iac (Crane-ium?) Great progress and result anyway. :cheers:

Its much better weather today, so I will take the gantry parts outside to solder them this afternoon. In the meantime, more work on the winch drum. Got the two ends all finished/drilled, still need to make the bearing for the end away from the clutch.
Also got the center section turned/drilled,
The ends/center screw together through the ends, and the clutch cup screws to the one end. I also drilled for a screw to take the end of the hoist cable. So, I'll get the one bearing made/installed, then can reassemble it onto the gear frames. I did see that the brake band end of the drum interferes with one of the slew clutch crank arms, so the link arm for that needs to be shortened and the crank retimed so it all clears. The brake band itself will be rolled out of a length of flat tool steel bar.
