We received so many questions and comments about the lift! It was really fun. I’m not a you tuber. I just wanted to make a video about building the lift because I saw a number of them that helped me design and build mine. I wanted to combine the best ideas from the other videos.
Almost all of the comments were fun, but a percentage were critical. Some needlessly so and some were helpful.
The most important thing we added were fall arresters in case something bad happened and the carriage fell.
Plus, we wanted to have a little fun.
For the commenters that asked, “Why Minnesota?” I hopefully answered that question too.
Finally, I was amazed at some of the little things that people picked up on in the video, like my Bears hat. So, I added a couple of fun things near the end of the video to see who spies them.
Here are some links to the items in the video:
