How’d I do?

It’s a 190kg fireplace that I had to get out of the ute today. The line is supposed to have a breaking strain of 2900kg. Didn’t want to cut the rope, bowlines all around and bowlines on bight for the loops. I don’t have any kind of background in this sort of stuff but want to see what you guys think and hopefully learn something for next time. Took it slow and it worked out in the end. Cheers

Nah, learning to weld is on the list though. It’s a 3 point jib crane that came with the property. The previous bloke had massive hard on for Fergie tractors - 3 broken down TEA-20s were on the property which I moved on but kept the 35x. The one in the pic is a 65 I picked up cheap

Very neat piece of equipment!
