Hi Jon,
Thanks for that insight which prompted me to revisit how the Harcourt cruck was raised using shear legs that were made on site.
The
Harcourt Shear legs were man handled into position by quite a few people and were repositioned by the same method i.e. by stint of hand and foot.
I would like to be able to lift and move logs so I think that your shear leg lean adjustment is a step in the right direction.
I also note that your idea about using ground anchors is mentioned in some detail in the US Army Rigging Manual.
Regards
Ken Hume
