the link to those plans was pretty good. some things didn't seem totally clear though. If I see it right, there is just one through bolt on all the adjusting pieces that hold them in place? also he mentions a "lock bolt" and a pin to hold it from rotating. the pin is obvious, but what does the lock bolt do? the other post had a similar one but didn't seem like it would rotate, but can adjust the height of the swing or jack up the whole member. does it seem feasible that you can combine the two ideas and have one where the outer sleeve has a jack connected to it and slides up the verticle member of the stand? I've never even used a rotisserie so I don't know if that would hold up. I guess there is a lot of ways to go about it, but I want to get a plan right to make one strong and versitle. It'll be a while before I build one, but need to start with a plan.
