Indeed.

There was a discussion about it here on PM not too long ago, maybe late Jan/early Feb.

I paid $5 for the downloadable video, but I think there's more content on the DVD.

my guess is that he rocks the weigth back and forth adding blocks to alternate ends. I have lifted Bridgeports with wood wedges and a small pry bar by myself in a few minuets so to get a pallet jack under it. I once had to lift a 3" HBM so to get skates under it, no one was around to help so I called my wife who came over in her business suit and pushed the wedges in with her foot while talking on her cell phone. really easy for the right load, a pinch bar and wedges is all you need

Don't know about the 'how', long & hard work I suspect. But one explanation of the 'why' may be here.

John is correct, I saw a documentary sort of show on this fellow. That's also how gun tubes (cannon) were lifted enough to assemble a carriage under them in Totten period (Civil war) forts - they stuck a healthy stick of timber down the bore for a lever, no shortage of manpower. Some of those bad boys are in the 50,000 pound range. http://www.nps.gov/archive/fowa/mammoth.htm

Now, I'd like someone to explain to me how they got them up here..it ain't in the ordnance manual as far as a know..
