Default Re: Cable Shovel Build

Time to figure out the cabling.... I made a pattern of sorts for a yoke to hold my boom and bucket sheaves, it's pretty basic since I'm not exactly sure of what I'm doing LOL

I also made up some brackets to attach my sheaves to



since this is just for testing I just used a little E6000 to glue the in place for now...
Getting the rigging done

This is a basic setup but it's not even close to the way a Buckeye 50 clipper should be but it is really clean and it works...







I'm just using cotton string to test with I have some black Kevlar string I plan on using ... I like this but it's not close to what it should look like.... but it works so I'll see about re-configuring it to something closer to what it should look like.
Still trying to figure out how to get the graphics on it... I'm no artist....
I'll up date once I get the next cable configuration done.
