Thanks for the link. I look for those all the time but haven't been on ebay for a couple days. I was up to camp this past weekend but we got sort a rained out. I have one of those in my collection too.

Time to get back building again on this. Not much time till the Cabin Fever Expo. I've been designing the wedges and other bucket rigging that I threw together last year. Everything served me well but it just wasn't "to scale". should have something to show soon. I still need to make a trip 295miles out East to the 1:1 machine to get more sizes on the exterior house and "A" Frame.

Here is a start on the "Crows Foot" this is where the drag chains,dump rope socket,and drag rope socket meet. I made it out of 4140HT steel so it wont wear out dragging in the dirt.





Stepping down with a 1/8'' ball mill to make the taper.

Finally figured out an attack on the drag rope socket this weekend. Had to make it in two pieces then I'll Tig weld the halves together. Sorry for the ugly finish, I have lots of blending with the Dremel and Lots of deburring to do still on this one. I still need one more this size for the hoist and two smaller ones for the dump rope.

Here is the drag socket TIG welded together. Of course there is some grinding and filing to do. I had one heck of a time seeing what I'm welding! I even have a 2X magnifier in my helmet and was wearing my 2X cheaters

Steve that looks absolutely astonishing. Great welds for being so small and very clean looking socket. Can't wait to see what it looks like cleaned up.

More rope socket construction photos from last weekend. This time this is the hoist rope socket. I still need to radius the sides some.

This weeks project is to design and machine the hitch links that the drag chains attach to.

Here is a shot from my ESCO salesman sample bucket showing what the completed parts will look like.

That's incredible work! I wish I could TIG weld that good! And machine parts that well too!

I can't see what I'm doing!! I probably could have made smoother welds 10yrs ago when my eye sight was better The welds will get ground down anyway.

So, what you're saying is even though you can't see what you are welding, you still TIG weld better then me, and I'm younger! See, I rest my case!

Here I am profiling the piece and final cutting loose from the steel bar.

Thanks Nathan. I get very frustrated when it come to working close.
This morning I welded the hitch brackets onto the bucket. Struggling as usual I got a magnifier light and put it between my helmet and the work. Worked pretty well.




The teeth are really starting to show some wear after about 60+hrs of digging. In the future I'm going to make a better cutting edge that will be hardened and some replaceable hardened teeth.

Steve-you have a lot done since I was on here. Parts look great as always. Will the sockets be painted or just a natural steel finish? I see you complaining about your eyes. You don't know about eye problems yet. I really hope no one has to go through what I am dealing with but life goes on and I will do what I can, when I can.. Your 9W is really looking good and will certainly be a masterpiece when finished!

Thanks Tom, After reading your 777 post I see you are really having big problems. Please try to get well and continue working on your projects to keep your mind at ease .
As far as painting the sockets, I picked up a can of red Rustoleum this week and I'm going to paint the sockets and possibly (if I can get some of the wear plates made for the bucket) paint the bucket. I was thinking of painting the walking shoes black but haven't got the urge to paint anything on the machine yet.
