Well I managed to get some done this weekend on some of the suspension rope sheaves. I still need to make some brackets that'll get attached to the boom chords that will hold the small shackles I made up.
Steps for making a shackle:
Turn a 3/8'' sq.

Mill inside flat





Bend


Mill ends round


Finished parts

No detail left untouched
You are without a doubt one of the best craftsmen I've seen work with metal.

Nice work Steve. That is amazing that you could make that piece out of a solid piece of 3/8 stock and bend it centered so that the ends line up! Very nice looking parts too!

Steve, are you going to try and make the NAMES show in Detroit this weekend????
