Looking for the name of a simple pole leverage-type lifting device that I still often see here in the west near farm fences but cannot seem to remember the name of (maybe I never knew) I came across this incredible 1910 how-to-build-your-own "handy farm device" construction manual.
It pretty much contains instructions how to build your own farm, including hundreds of devices small and large.
I imagine some of the more selfsufficient woodsmen and backwoods hunters/farmers among us might find inspiration here.
In case anyone does; please show us some pictures of the results!

PS: Pleezz DO tell me the name of the derrick-type (?) lifting device shown on the front page in case you happen to know. I have searched high and low in the manual itself but didn't find that particular image back, nor any reference to it
