I am a big fan of your R984C!

Hi, what kind of soldering/ brazing? Silver or soft? Did you use any flux?

@Joe

well, yes... the bucket... don't forget the chains

let me just throw in the counter weight. It was milled from a solid Aluminum block 410x180x80mm with a weight of 16Kg. The finished Block is round about 5Kg and way too light. It will receive some inlays from lead to bring it to the necessary weight again. I try to bring it up to 17Kg. First some drawings, you can see the lead blocks inside the weight, how it should be finished and right from the mill.
