My next project.

Just found this on YouTube. I heat with wood. I've been wanting a winch. I might have to take some design ideas from this one.

I knew there was a good reason I've been keeping all of those pulleys, sprockets, and gears!

Pretty slick there

Yup, very clever. Have fun.

wow - impressive stuff there - good luck making your own version. I'll have to tell my son I found a new use for his Stihl chainsaw and his SeaRay.

That is very slick. Tons of uses for that other than logging. Pull your car/trauck up on the trailer etc. Simple yet very well executed. Good Luck!

Have seen commercially made units like that a few years ago.

For $800.00 I can get one in a box. I'm short $775.49! :rofl:

We'll see what junk I can use to put one together without it weighing a ton!

Time for some Reverse engineering !!!:thumbsup:

Looks like I'll be starting with a hand winch. This looks to be the best deal that I can find so far.

I have #35 roller chain. Anyone have some sprockets laying around they'd want to part with? I probably want to gear it down a bit.

I'm thinking the saw is going to run around 10500 RPMs (Stihl 009L) The winch is reduced to 8:1

Anyone good with calculating reductions? So, if I was to connect the saw directly to the winch the spool would be going how fast? (I never fully grasped this with Algebra!)

Thanks for the input!
