Weekly Photo Fun 1/3 - 1/9/14
#22
Sumpter, I think that there the details will be a bit finer yet than these from me. And I think they are very good!
Here are two pictures for comparison. (Details of my depressed center flatcar with a ship propeller as load.)

Smaller does not (good) work!
All wire that I used here is 0.3 mm/0.012' or 1 inch thick in reality. That is already a too heavy material for many small items. In seldom cases I use also wire of 0,008' and 0.010' but only in very seldom cases I bent shackles from 0.10' wire. Too fine and too many attempts for good results! However maybe I will have more success in next time - and before I'm an 80 ager.
Cheers, Bernd
