I found a piece of 2″ pipe to use as a gin pole out at the stables. The gin pole is supported from 3 guy lines. I put a 4:1 block and tackle on the thing and was able to lift the pole by hand up 3 feet to this old table top. I intend to lift a little higher here, then move the Gin Pole to the other end and finish the raising, while
the base slides down into the hole.
