Think any machinery, compressed air, or welding equipment nearby? Frame members light enough to repeatedly hoist by hand, nothing but a bag of nuts and bolts. I'd bet the successive stages are numbered in chalk.
It would take a bit of planning, staging and accurate trigonometry to produce a 'smooth' tower.

Yes, but after the second lift of staging the angles do not change and all the triangles reduce at the same rate.

Perfectly true, but the dimensions, layout and placement do. Without means aloft to modify, isn't there is some degree of challenge?Originally Posted by cmarlow
