Thank you needadreamgirl.
There was a lot more to it than meets the eye, quite a challenge but it got there in the end.
One thing you will need to consider is the handle for the winch is quite long, so when you winch your doll up you'll need to get your hand on her bottom and gently swing her bum out of the way (side ways is best) enough to avoid the handle when turning it. Its pretty easy to do with one arm, it will make sense when you get it and use it. Obviously the handle can be positioned at the back of the stand when you have her winched to the correct height and then its not in the way anymore.
I have some other pending jobs to catch up with this week so it might be another 7 - 10 days before the stand is prepped and painted and ready to go, unfortunately I got to clear those jobs before painting coz the 2K paint is pretty nasty stuff and tends to coat everything in my workshop. If you don't know 2K is an epoxy based paint and very durable.
