More towing and more winches

The cloud street winch was put to the test in Chelan Washington this last weekend during the towfest that went on.  Chris had two tow winches on the back of his red neck rig and it looked like an awsome way to have some fun.  Roughly 30 tows a day including some tandems were logged on the winch and I am told it performed great.  Here are some of the pics:

  

The orders keep coming along for these winches and interest is growing much faster than I expected.  I am now working on an electric start version for someone who is putting one to use in Mexico!  Building two at a time isn't seeming to be enough to keep one around for me and Beck...lol

Thanks for everyones support!  Without people like you this wouldn't be happening for me and Beck.

Thats it....Beck and I are skipping town next month for a flying trip...;)

More to come...we have some rough video of beck and I doing a tandem step tow but haven't had time to edit.  Not a bad testing method before shipping these out....

Going, going, gone

Well I thought beck and I were gonna have a winch for us to use for a bit but it has already been sold to some good peeps from Fort Collins CO. Good for business, bad for us getting to go towing...actually we could probably take the one that chris has out just about anytime. Perhaps this next week sometime since I will have a small gap of time while the frames are out to the powder coater. And of course, we have to go test these units before we send them off.

I would like to extend a thanks to all who have supported me in this project from my wife, to friends and family to those who I don't know but have sent positive comments and vibes. This is by far one of the coolest/scariest things I have decided to do in my life. It has been hard work but it is so much better than sitting behind the desk at the rocket farm....;)
