| Jun 22 at 19:45 | comment | added | A. Lugg | Also, while searching for old cranes brought up some interesting articles and photos, I can't help but be disappointed as they seem to gloss over what I'm really interested in. | |

| Jun 22 at 19:18 | comment | added | A. Lugg | @justCal Good find, but I'm more than a little confused about why they would be using a 15th century crane in 1868? | |
| Jun 22 at 18:08 | comment | added | justCal | What you need to research is cranes. Here for instance is a pic from 1868 showing one in place on Cologne Cathedral since the 15th century. The same method of 'building your way up' has been in place for centuries. | |

| Jun 22 at 16:44 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @A.Lugg, including your research shows respect and courtesy, and also prevents us from following the same dead ends. Personally I wonder if either the act of building a building wasn't interesting enough to photograph, or perhaps wasn't interesting enough to preserve whatever photographs existed? | |
| Jun 22 at 16:25 | comment | added | Jon Custer | The people who built the pyramids had even less sophisticated tools. The people who built Notre Dame didn’t have 19th century tools. Arguing that your grandparents were idiots isn’t very convincing. | |
| Jun 22 at 16:21 | comment | added | A. Lugg | @MCW I did it not today but recently, so I didn't have links immediately available, nor did it seem necessary since I had found basically nothing. | |
