Dammit man that looks like a pro fit that!!!
ronnie,
back in my days of erector engineer, a derrick was an equipment that was used to lift heavy weights. Differently from a crane, that was mobile, the derrick was stationary.
As a matter of fact, your what your photo shows seems to be a derrick boom, right?

It is a Derrick for a 750 Horse Drill Rig.
That looks like some of the trusses I have built... lol.. Looks fun..!! I had to build two Bow trusses then put webbing between them to tie them together for a shop crane.. They were 60ft long and built from 3in .300 wall pipe... It was a really fun job.. I will see If I can find pictures of it.. Be glad you are keeping those straight and flat.. Building a bow can be a pickle... Looks GREAT man..!!!
What is the wall thickness on that pipe..?? It looks pretty stout..!!
