Wooden Rotisserie Question
After some fine tuning with spacer blocks, finally got the wooden "rotisserie" finished, up, and over. The only scary part was when my end started to slide a little instead of tilt up.
It was pretty heavy at the very beginning of the lift, but then became easier the higher up we went. Four of us were on hand to turn it over. Two of us could have done it, but I felt a twinge in my lower back right away and decided to wait for more help. The biggest doubt I had was whether or not it would be likely to fall back down once it was on its side. It seemed stable, but we wedged a plank in between the vehicle and a divot in the floor just in case (as well as a couple of wimpy ropes).
I told the owner of the shop that from now on he would have no more excuses for getting it up and painted. I already have the factory white (acrylic enamel/hardener) on hand.
