How to build a simple but effective 2x4 tripod for moving small headstones that are too heavy to move by hand.

I was sooo very surprised with your gift. I think I may have even teared up when you gave it to me. It will definitely be used often. Bleed your kind heart.

Thanks for the info. Need to pull bush roots out of my front lawn. Got (3) 7 ft 2 by 4s and drilled a 5/8 hole in the center board and drilled 3/4 holes in the two outside boards. Ran a 1 ft long chain connecting the 1/2 inch by 8 bolt between the boards and connected a come a long to the chain. Didn't try it yet but looks like it'll do the trick.

Great job! I don’t get to use my 2x4 tripod very often, but when I need it, it’s a great tool to have. Fairly light and very portable. Great job sir!

I am building one for myself too! It will be nice to have for smaller stuff rather than dragging my gantry hoist around!

Great video. I’m a shorter female, and I built a similar tripod out of 8’ 2x4s. It’s a little easier for me to manage, and I use it a lot. I’m going to have to make another one that’s 10’ tall, though, for a taller monument that needs reset. But the 8’ tripod meets my needs 95% of the time. I found that elongating the holes a little allows me to get a wider and more stable stance on the tripod.

I think I will enjoy having one more than I thought I would…. Will definitely be easier than putting my hoist together all the time

Excellent work! I noticed you place a tag next to the headstone while its braced and under conservation. I have thought of doing something similar but I see that you have a longer message beneath it. I'd love to pick your brain a little bit on that and learn more about what you may want a passerby in the cemetery to understand. Also, thanks so much for this video! It's helping more than you know.

Hi Walter, that sign just says… “this monument is part of a restoration project, please respect the nature of this project… you can look but please do not touch. If you have any questions feel free to call(phone number)” I haven’t had any phone calls but I have had the sexton of the cemetery tell me that people have noticed the signs.

Hahahaha! I think I got the longest bolt at tractor supply… which I think was an 8 inch grade 5 bolt.

Can you be more specific on the pulley you used please. What was it called (I could not understand what you called it)? Is it a simple pulley rig? Where can I get one? That was a good vid. Thx for creating it. I learned something.

They are called chain falls. You can buy them at pretty much any hardware store… mine are 1 ton capacity
