Getting the plate out (safely)

Dittos & works great.

So a  while back I bought one of the Harbor Freight hoists which I bolted 
securely  to the ridge beam and two cross ties. The hook moved too fast to be 
useful for  plate R&R so I slowed it down with a couple of blocks (pulleys) from 
the  local yachting supply. The blocks cost more than the hoist but did the 
trick.  I got a double pulley for the hook end and a single to fasten to the 
frame of  the hoist and now it runs at about 2 inches per second. Slower would 
have been  better and if you can do the math, you can figure out how many 
sheaves will  get the speed you want.
