Title: Pics of your tillering tree
Post by: Minnesota Bill on June 30, 2013, 06:27:00 PM
Hey guys,
Trying to get my shop laid out to use the best of the space provided.  Need to plan on where the tree will go.  The shop is 10 x 16 so space is limited.  I have seen some fold down - hinged at the ceiling.  Any pics and/or descriptions of what you have?
Thanks
Bill

I use the double pulley system and a long rope.  My shop is 8x24 so I have it at one end.  I can stand back and get a better view with the longer rope.

Hey Roy whats the advantage of the double pulley system over just one pulley, besides the save on back pain??

It just reduces the pull weight.

Thanks guys for the responses.  John I can't get your pic up.  Thinking of building it right into the wall and just move things out of the way as needed.  Would have to move stuff even if I had it hinged at the ceiling and have a hard time lining it up for storage in the lights.
Roy yours looks great and does not seem to take up much room.

If you're really pressured for space, you can make a good quality portable tillering tree that you can mount on the wall, in your bench vice, to a tree or picnic table, etc. A 2x6, a few pieces of hardwood for the cradle, a pulley, rope and handle...

Below is a pict of my Tillering Tree.  I also have a portable tree that I bring to camp with me over the summer.
