Steve are you using silver solder on the boom? If it was me I'd use 50 % silver solder so it would take the strain and the flex. Ed

I'm using "Harris Bridgit" It's works nice. It seems to have plenty of strength. I didn't want to fool around with StaySilv45.

Well I got the boom done enough to work and now I need to make a quickie point sheave and a eye bolt for the suspension cables
