This is how I go about flipping the big slabs that I’ve got to work on here. My boys were home but i can get one flipped by myself if i have to. 3” pipe is held by a clamped on saddle, needs to be centered. pipe slides into a saddle mounted on a sawhorse. other end is chin hoisted up a bit. Rotate and set a safety sawhorse. lower hoist and get to work. I know this is probably not original, but I figured it out in my sleep and was really pleased with the way it worked.

Nice. That’s some seriously heavy-duty woodworking!
I need to come up with something similar for rolling boats over.

Yeah, probably not original, but you would be surprised at how many woould have no idea how to even start ;-))
That is definitely heavy duty woodworking, looks like a nice job to boot!!

You may not have been the first to flip a slab or other heavy object like this, but if you’ve worked out the procedure on your own, it’s still an original idea. I spent weeks working out how to raise the mast on a sailboat I once owned… I built a rig to hoist it and later did a search on the Internet and found out the way everybody else raised them was the same way I did it… Your idea is going to save me from a big headache someday. Thanks in advance!

Hah! the furuno is part of the booty that is coming off of a 32’ grand banks trawler that I’m turning into a guest house. Having a ball with that. @ Hal,, I know what you mean. I’ve picked up a LOT from watching videos on Roman Engineering. I just KNOW there’s a way to git er done with simple tech.

I caught the radar dome, too… then wondered about the floor sander for surfacing your slab? Wait a minute, a nice GB trawler as a guest house? ... like, is it floating, or are you dry slipping it? Okay,I didn’t want to get off on to a tangent… but GB’s have some nice teak interiors…

This is a great idea and no less clever if it’s been done before, since you thought it out on your own.
