Wear a hard hat when doing tower work!by r3dbeard2,935 views
Really cool video - great idea and approach. If you don't mind I have a couple questions....
About how much does the tower weigh? How deeply is the wood post anchored? Did you do any calculations on the load on the wood post?
73!

@kk0sd Thank you. I really don't know how much the tower weighs, even roughly but if I had to take a wild guess I'd say it would be comparable to about 4-5 heavy set people excluding the rotator, mast and antennas. The wood post is probably anchored about 2.5 - 3 feet in the ground. And there were no calculations, I tend to just "wing" most things. Looking back I would have made many changes but i suppose it's a little late for that now. Thanks for checking out my video

I think it was a great job and idea, but I just want to know , what did the older gentleman in the video think he was going to do by being under it ?? if that thing snapped he would have been a dead man, there is NO stopping it if released. If a 28 foot extension ladder goes you let it go why in the world even think about trying to stop that thing. Very unsafe, but overall a great job but very unsafe. That's how back yard statistics are made by doing something and not thinking about safety 1st

The videos are just right to showcase some good install techniques. I learned some good tips, especially your raising system. Thanks!
