The previous post about this work-in-progress can be found here.

I finished the rough metal work for the frame of the lift mechanism. The frame is designed like a truck frame. Here are some pictures.

Crank

The motor needs its own mounting plate to move the shaft back from the center of the frame. I still need to weld a base plate under the motor to keep the frame from falling over from the motors weight.

The frame is built from 1/8 inch steel plate.
