My Dad and I landed a job building a workbench for a fella in a wheelchair.He's headed to school for small motor mechanics and the school hired us to work with him and build a workstation that will suit his needs.It features a picker with 450lb electric winch and a hydraulic boom extension,a turn table on the front which tilts from level to 45* on hydraulics,and a drive wheel powered by a..you guessed it...hydraulic motor and a cylinder to raise or lower it.This was a fun one and I hope we get a chance to do another one.
Sorry the pics are so poor,forgot the camera.
