    M816 boom extention

    Well..... Had to build this as there is no one to assist and therefore no-one to stand underneath or be a "close watcher"! Tether was critical for placing in the truss clip, all from the back of the truck. Final design was braced just like one of the twin booms on a Holmes 750. Worked like...

    ... I'm gonna say "NO", but glad he did - I'd have never have thought to search for this! ... been thinking about it, but assumed it would be shot full of holes by the "safety Police" and therefore not posted. Commercially - big no no. ... but if a tree falls in the forest - . . ...
