I'd bet money that copies of your photographs are lying on somebody's desk up there.

I drilled and pinned 2 mills and one extension today. Worked like a charm. Thanks again slingshot. Now if I could just rake up the gumption to copy your extension. I'd like to have a 10 footer.

    Just go for it. I took the outrigger stand off and used the mounting plate to bolt
up the extension beam and then moved the stand to the new extension. It can all
be unbolted and taken off. The outer beam I used was a light pole salvaged years
ago from a service station. It was square and had a little taper to it. Worked out fine.
The part I used was about 4 1/2 inches and tapered to 3 1/2.
       I like working with steel, went to a vocational school several years ago for a
  welding course. I have a big Miller 250 stick welder and 2 smaller ones and a wire feed
welder and I bought my oxy-acetelene tanks instead of renting. (paid off
as I have had them for over 20 years.) They are exchanged so are kept up to date.
