Can't find plans but here is a picture. Pretty easy to figure it out.

This one's pretty small, but you can make 'em what ever size you need. You can hang 'em from 1, 2, or 4 ropes/chains/cables etc. you can even make it like a rocker box.
Sorry, no plans.



Or you can make em motorized. I need a gearbox for this one; the motor's too fast.

I saw something similar in use but it was a teepee shape instead of the large frame and the guy said he made it that way because it was easier to fold up and move around.

I was watching a documentary (lol) on Roswell and the alien crash that may or may not have occured there and the people were using the tripod type device I mentioned. Theirs was made out of PVC pipe for weight concerns and was easily broken down and transported.

Here is another easy design. I like this design so much I may build one myself. As if I didn't already have enough of them.

love that drum idea a tad bulkey but looks like u can move alot of dirt.
Now if only u could hook that thing up to a Hemi
the tripod seems logical but may cause a problem to swing the load
probably the best would be to use the rectangular box with 1 long rope tied to each midway side and passed over a tree limb
