Below is a picture of the mocked up rotisserie base mounted to the upright tube and riser. I have the vertical adjutment safety pin holes set about every three inches from 0 to 15 (knowing that my ram has 18 inches of overall travel).
Note the base for the jack - after a few cocktails, Shane and I figured this would be as good a way as any to support the jack. The plan is to build that platform into the gusseting structure to support the rotisserie down the center plane (versus right to left of the rotating axis).
Here's a fuzzy shot with the ram in place.
The plan is to continue that piece of square tubing down to the bottom rail to complete the structure. The last thing we did was use the hole saw to cut a pice that would attach to the outer collar on the rotating pin. This would provide an anchor point for the top/movable portion of the ram.
Below is a little closer perspective of that piece sitting on top of the ram. Tonight I drilled a hole in it to run the pin.... mis-marked it, so I had to weld it closed and re-drill. An eighth of an inch is a lot on a small piece like that. Also in the pic below you can see a little closer where I have the pins set up to safety lock things into place.
More to come.
