Jared,

Couple of questions for you.

On the spring tension tag line, does it have any difficulty with changes in boom angle? I have done mine with a counter weight and I look at the spring version thinking it would hide the counter weight. But, I see LOT of movement in the counter weight when I boom up or down as the bucket moves further or closer to the boom.

And, I don't know how I missed the sand box clamshell video... That clam works GREAT! Did it work that good right off the bench? Did you have adjustments to make to it? I may take a second look at mine, maybe create another. I tend to use my drag bucket just because it works so much better than my clam. Hope you can find time to get back on the new crane project.

Thanks,

Jim
