Head Lifter for 6x26 Enco Knee Mill

[tmate3]

I've decided to scrap my original idea and fabricate a frame that will straddle the mill and sit on the side edges of the stand. My come along cable will run up and over the two pulleys and attach to lifting straps around the head.

When I'm finished, I can put casters on the bottom of the frame and use it like a mini hoist to lift heavy items onto benches, etc. I already have the steel on hand.
