Nice CAD. (Cardboard Aided Design)

[@michaelcrawford310]

+fx451Jockey hahahahaa. Nicely!

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

IF you are going to all this trouble get bolts same size as your nails and use nuts and washers, under enough load the nails will pull out

[@captureinsidethesound]

This might just be a one or two time use for a job which explains why buying an engine hoist isn’t worth it.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Looks like a good job. Greetings from the future....March 2024

[@pacman4568]

A tip that may come in handy, use clamps to hold components in place. Also drilled holes and bolts will be much stronger and can be disassembled for storage. Just a thought why not assemble the top first, then take it apart to assemble the bottom of the legs. If you use bolts and washers with nuts it can all be taken apart for storage number each part for reassembly. Make long sections that can be bolted between the bottom of the legs to reduce movement. A sound idea with plenty of room for improvement.

[@andrewchristensen8064]

Thank you for this broski! Great video & nice designed with every step. 🤙🏼

[@tomchristopher71]

Could you use 4 x 4 posts instead? Great video.

[@AB-nb2ic]

You could, but (2) 2x4's nailed together saves money

[@medic37931]

Looks good to me, how ever my only change to the design is using screws, and also putting either swivel or fixed coasters on it so it can be rolled around. The fixed would let it roll forwards and backwards, that way it can be pushed easily out of the way and you can re position it when working on it.

[@coffeefish]

Looks good, I never thought of that.

[@sethat8e]

Very nice.

[@pierdolio]

should have used screws. That way you could take it apart easily.

[@LatinKnightNy]

Ok question...Was this to be used in the garage or out in the driveway? I see that the garage doors were becoming an issue with overhead height. Otherwise have seen similar design pull engine from a lifted pickup truck..thanks for sharing.

[@ScottysDetailing]

This hoist actually cleared my garage opening.

[@bertrandvigier3897]

First u could've used nuts and bolts and it might be a bit more expensive but will be stronger if you added wood glue to your joints and even when putting them together

[@ledmk2]

Nice made

[@jchrg2336]

It looks good to me, it will work, bolts and nuts, use that, don't make the same mistake others make

[@reginaldmorton2162]

good job

[@pcbfine8944]

One word; Nail gun. Nice project though o

[@XxalwaysrawxXGaming]

Thats two but ok😂

[@shaunaquin4242]

Did it hold up?

[@jaylintim]

I know it's been a few years since you built the engine hoist, but do remember the name of the nailing plates you used and where to purchase them.

[@andrewsafranski8825]

How do you access the parts list. I don't see a "description" that you mentioned.

[@BILLSNOTDEAD]

2x4 Some nails Some flat brackets wahlah.

[@tuguybear]

Didn't see any braces to prevent sideways movement.Otherwise it will be adequite.

[@AB-nb2ic]

He mentioned them, part of the plan

[@jcastaneable]

This is what KZbin is about

[@houser4201]

Use a sharpie marker next time... Other than that it's good

[@walkswithmight]

You should practice doing some of Tom Arnold’s mannerisms. you sound a lot like him!

[@hillcharlie2761]

Not being a dick but you just built a 4x4 so why not go pick up about 4 or 5 4x4s pre drill holes and just bolt them together then you can take it were you need it but the 2x4 one looks good

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

Hope your significant other has accidental death insurance on you and the young fellow, maybe this clip hasn't been finished because this accident waiting to happen actually HAPPENED!!!!!!!! ONE GREAT thing about youtube is you get to learn what/how NOT to do many things : )

[@ScottysDetailing]

I've used this hoists over 50 times not one problem. I've pulled truck beds, V8 engines, truck doors and even a truck cab off of its frame. So I think you need to give me credit for trying something instead of trying to tear me down. 🤔

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

+ScottysDetailing Sir, I give you LOTS of credit for trying and doing, all I am saying THINK SAFETY FIRST, for the sake of your family!!! I worked for over 40 years in a MFG plant in Quality Control and have seen sincere folks KILL or SEVERELY injure themselves RIGGING something when for a few bucks more could of made themselves safer. Again GREAT idea, but could of been thought out better!

[@ScottysDetailing]

Thanks for your concern. I understand your angle now. So we have been looking into a attic hoist with a metal I beam frame in the attic mounted to a I beam track for more safety. Big companies have deep pockets for all the right safety gear. When your a DYI fix it yourself guy you have to do what you can afford for now. 😬

[@DarkLinkAD]

@@REVNUMANEWBERN This is a well known design engineered long ago. Stay in your lane Linda.

[@illnoiz90]

BUT DOES IT WORK

[@zaclloyd3441]

how bout a simple $150 cherry picker

[@zacharysheffield9413]

Where do you get one for $150?

[@zaclloyd3441]

@@zacharysheffield9413 $189.plis 20% off harbor freight

[@zacharysheffield9413]

@@zaclloyd3441 Thank you!

[@midwestcatz5896]

Why not just go get a hoist > ? you can buy thenm for $160.00 for a 1 TON ...much safer and less work . and probably a lot cheaper if you include your time.

[@complainergamer]

Caster wheels for mobility. Brace the shi* outta it and yes, side braces. Thanks!!!

[@jamesmize665]

With some of the engines ive pulled i personally would not trust this lol

[@connermonier8669]

It's simple, Just go to WoodPrix page - and enter the Eco World.

[@culllaticiqsu83]

I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodprix.

[@riosmoodie5763]

This time I'll use WoodPrix instructions to make it by myself.

[@tomekapompey563]

I bought instruction from WoodPrix and I build it very very cheap.

[@zaclloyd3441]

is this a joke

[@koixcoulter]

I saw ur comment when the video started he was sitting down & I lost it lol

[@OceanMaverick]

most important critical part not filmed whatever

[@classiccowboy9510]

I like the idea but you can find one used for $100 and new for $175

[@karyldebolouw74]

If you want to know how to make it yourself, just look for woodprix instructions.

[@jaydenbrumous2582]

If you want, you can always learn how to make it yourself from woodprix woodworking plans.

[@callihanhopwood6255]

I created something like that thanks to the Stodoys instructions.

[@shannaheckler1933]

I think you need to take some time and go to woodprix website to learn how to make it.
