We brought four donkeys: two of them were run (one setup for yarding using a North bend configuration and one setup for crotch line loading). Viewed: 511 times.
|
All the rigging was attached to two spar trees custom made for this use. Viewed: 507 times.
|
The four donkeys are visible on this picture. From left to right they are:
- The first prototype donkey, currently awaiting its transformation into a pile driver.
- A brand new one, arriving on a flat car (notice that the smoke stack is folded down)
- The loading donkey.
- The yarding donkey. Viewed: 526 times.

Ready to move! This donkey is loaded on one of Eric's heavy duty flat car. Notice the logging disconnect on the right, used as a spacer between the flat car and the locomotive. Viewed: 548 times.

Here is one of the spar trees. They are made of a closet rod covered in Magic Sculpt, expertly shaped by Eric. Viewed: 521 times.
|
The base of the tree: this area hides a short section of steel pipe welded onto a two square steel plate with a half inch threaded rod extending through the table.
This heavy duty construction was required as there is no room on the table for guy wires. Viewed: 473 times.
