It's my $80 solution for a $1500 rotisserie. Sure , it's not as nice or nearly as versatile, but it does what I need it to do!

Rolled it!


Great idea!
How'd you tilt it? 4 or 5 people?

Did you invent this idea?
How did you plan this out?

Or found it somewhere?
A link if you found it?

Went out to the garage and nearly wore my poor old vixen file out. That'll teach me to be more careful with my solder application! Shrank some more high spots and started on mudding/sanding  on the left 1/4-roof seam. Took some 6" PSA discs on my DA to the epoxied-over glue on the roof and think I've finally got most of it off. I decided that I'm going to solder smooth the 1/4-rocker lap joints as well.  :cheers:

Floor Jack got it to around 30°.  I had a larger lever arm screwed to it that I picked up on once it got there. Me, a scrawny 145# fellow, was able to pick it up all I wanted from there.

I had three people here, but two was more than enough. I picked up while the others pulled back to keep it from falling over too hard. It went very very smooth.

The idea? I saw just a picture of someone that did something similar and went with that. It's pretty simple. I guess my disclaimer is that I am a mechanical engineer, that may help, but there's really not much to it.

CODY,

Did you catch this?
