Hi Janine,

This is sort of out in left field but do take a close look at Peter
Beugel the elder's masterpiece painting "Tower of Babel". There are all
sorts of neat cranes and other devices from the late renaissance in this
work. This might be a source of useful ideas for you. Also, do check out
the stuff they have at Salisbury Cathedral in the UK. Not only do they
have the earliest mechanical clock there, they also still have the hoist
used to erect the tower in the 1300s.

Sounds like a neat project!

Great suggestion!  Thank you!  It is a neat project and I know the kids (and 
adults) will love it ;-)
