Necessity is the mother of invention and these Russian, perhaps Ukrainian, men are amazing examples.

Electric tools.... nope
Crane.... nope
Come-along.... nope

Real men don’t need that as long as they have brawn and brains.

I think you will be impressed, also.

While breaking every OSHA regulation in the process.

But, yes, I respect their innovation. Its much like the early days in the expansion in the US. You used whatever you had to get the job done. I worked on my grandfathers farm when I was young. Some of the contraptions I saw were amazing but they worked!

Bravo! I have often wondered how the French built towering Gothic Cathedrals beginning in the 12th century without the use of modern cranes and with only crude devices. Here's my answer. Of course, think of the Egyptian pyramids, and be even more amazed.
