hey Ron, I thought I was on the small side with the anchors, what Ive read for a 10 foot mill on a 60 foot pole has reccomended 4 feet deep and 2x2x1 foot block of concrete to hold the anchor pipe in. I set my anchors at about 60 degree angle also. due to soil type variations I couldnt get and hard data or reccomendation. I just hope it holds, but Im glad you feel like i over did it! as far as the pivot, its just a 3 1/2 inch pipe over a 3 inch pipe joint, the inner 3 inch pipe is 12 inches long and welded to 1/4 inch angle iron I had left over from another project, imbedded in a small 2x1 foot round pad. I coped out the base of the main pole to fit the 3 1/2 inch pivot pipe. I first welded the gin pole to the base of the main pole, then welded in the gusset pipe, hooked up the guys (from tip of gin to the main pole, these take all the force, not the weld), then I raised the gin to vertical and then welded the base of the whole rig to the pivot pipe (no taking this baby apart!) the gin tip is anchored, and the guys go from gin pole to tower. (the gin is left for future raising and lowering). hope this helps you, It went up without any problems, only time, or storms, will tell if its good enough... Roger
