Doesn’t look like anything yet, but it’s gonna be about a 200 pound lifting log give or take

finish product will be 14 inch diameter and roughly about 44 inches long or so

There’s an update on the lifting log.
Right now it weighs 185 lbs . By the time I finish welding in the handles in and the bracing and the 2 inch pipe to add weight it should weigh between 200 and 205lbs

John that is awesome. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m very fussy, your fabrication skills are top notch
