What is your house made of, dumbass?
There is only compression loading on the oak crane boom. I could've used a bunch of paper towel rolls wrapped in duct tape.

Come build me a gantry out of steel. I'm lazy.
I AIN'T TRYING TO LIFT ANYTHING WITH MY HOUSE......What is your house made of, dumbass?

Sure you are. Every piece of furniture upstairs is held up by the floor joists.
Think of how much weight is on your roof trusses when there's a foot of snow on it.

Three telephone poles would make a nice gantry

Bring them and set them up.

But, it wouldn't be able to move. What good is a gantry if you can't move the load?

Who says you can't put wheels on it?
OK I guess I'd need 5 pieces of telephone pole so it can have 4 wheels.
But without wheels, it could be used for loading and unloading trucks.
Hang the load, back the truck under it, lower the load.

I seriously want to build a machine of some kind. I built a hand operated crane and that was fun, but I want to do something with motors, bearings, shafts, belts and pulleys, etc.
I'm almost dead set on building a sawmill. The band saw type, because the blades for a circular one cost a million dollars.
I have a 23 hp V-twin engine from a Cub Cadet mower I can use.
I need to find a deal on some steel beams.

Okay, so you need a stationary crane. I have an engine hoist capable of lifting an 8V-71, but you are too far away and I don't deliver. I don't even think I could put it together anymore. This damned thing is heavy.

You aren't a structural engineer, either. You have no idea of the load that is put upon roofing joist or joist that has to support a second story, be it frame or block. That joist is actually bench pressing.hey numbnuts, it ain't like my house is bench pressing.........
i'll put my homes joists, thick as they are, made well over 150 years ago, to @Duck 's toothpick crane.
i ain't gottabe no damned engineer, to see the results after several liftings of that Rube Goldberg contraption.

I'll most likely put in an overhead gantry crane when I build my dream shop. One with a motorized trolley so you can pick a cab up and set it down in the next bay.

It's designed to lift less than 50 lbs but I hung from the end of the boom with my hands and I'm 240 lbs.
Maybe I should have used a piece of bamboo instead.
