[quote=charlescarlis]That's virtually what I'm building, except the cross piece will be 5 feet, with welded eye bolts at either end to attach bridle and gin pole lines to, in order to make a permanently mounted gin pole on the trailer that pivots at same height and in-line with mast. So far so good, except that half way through welding up the hinge to a mounting plate I discovered I was using stainless wire filler...doh! Wondered why it was spitting so much and couldn't get a decent weld puddle to save my life. Weird thing is, it held... I'll finish with normal steel on the other angles.
Pictures coming. later this week.[/quote]
