Travis Johnson shared this video in another thread, and I thought it was worth sharing further. In that other thread I brought up the idea of the gin pole on a tripod, but that technique is a little unstable in the final erecting stage. This guy in Michigan is moving and standing up all kinds of really heavy concrete blocks by himself. The keys are pivot points/leverage, gravity, and removing resistance. I've seen a variation on this with the idea of erecting stone henge, but I think they had the stone on a ramp made of wood and dirt that was disassembled to lower the one end and slide the mass downward, but I can't find that link right now.
If anyone can find other videos or links that show this technique done by others, please post it here.
