Here is a video of the lifter on my new featherweight, 'Donner'.

Nice. Only problem is can anyone tell me why these YouTube vids don't work in IE 64-bit.

Simply Mark - no

do they work direct from you tube? maybe a forum issue, Kane?

That is serious cool Alex, I love it (unlike the sandals in clip 2! Ha ha). Can't wait to see it fighting.

Looks like its Flash Player not compatabie with IE 64-bit. Looks Like I'll just have to use the 32-bit version, can't see any differances anyway (other than it works!)

Thanks Dave. The sandals were the first form of footware which came to hand :lol:

Nice work there Alex.

Is it a drill motor powering the lifter through a car scissor jack?

Nope. I used a commercially available linear actuator with a linkage system made from four pieces of steel box section.

Looks really good Alex, what weight can it lift?
