[Rick D]

[MrQuick]

They have been making trees out of wood for years -- it's good stuff.

Your house is likely made out out of wood. It comes down to the construction technique, not the material. Their is no reason you couldn't safely build such from wood.

I think he is a member here or over at Lat-G.

Wood = no problem.. Charging $300 for $40 worth of it= problem..

if it is well engineered, he did all the homework for you. that's worth something. and it has all the hardware, so, it 'might' be worth $300.
although, anyone that builds cars, should be able to design a wood rotisserie also.

my point exactly

[CraigMorrison]

We've got a whole stack of pallets, uh I mean rotisseries, alongside the building - I tell you what I'll sell 'em cheap!

[GRNOVA]

I made mine out of wood. Dont know that I would sell it on Ebay.

Wood is an engineering material- it has repeatable mechanical properties that can be used for calculation.

Early aircraft were made of wood. The dehavilland Misquito fighter/bomber from WWII was aircraft plywood. Frank Costin, who worked there in the late 40's/early 50's designed the Marcos, Nathan sports racer, and Amigo using plywood torque boxes attached to each other with glue and nails for the car's chassis.

No reason a wood rotis. won't work.

It looks like two pallets stood up on end and are not even attached to each other. I'm sure it works but it looks a bit scary to me.

Tim's on the other hand at least looks like it's worth $300.

[John Wright]

Looks like it "wood" do the job....

[Paul_J]

Looks like some wood and some steel. I think I'll do something similar when that time comes.

PT 4X4s and 2X6 look like pallets to you? What's the deck on your house look like? Wouldn't hesitate to use that rotisserie. WAY cheaper that building it your self out of steel.

[LowBuckX]

Damn that looks good... are those 4x4s 0r 6x6s

i pooted...

Yes they look like pallets, no triangulation whatsoever. Properly designed you could build it stronger and with less wood, like Tim's. Like I said I'm sure it works though, it's not like we're building 2-post vehicle lifts out of wood. A stripped-out body shell isn't really that heavy.

Thanks Ron L, I used 4x4's for the uprights 2x4's for the braces, through bolted at intersections 1/2" nut and bolts and 1 5/8" steel tube and 2x2" square tube for Bumper mounts. Then to connect them I used two 2x4's. All for less than $150.00. Financially challenged collage student 17 years ago.
