Thanks for the compliments guys. I started work on the pulleys and gate valve "stuff" last but was feeling pretty bagged and hit the sack just after the kiddies.
I fashioned one pulley last night, however started to get a case of "lets-see-how-small-I-can-make-this" syndrome with the pulleys. So I'm going to go home and go for broke and see what I can fashion up tonight. That said, I want to leave the opening large enough that I can drop the chain for the sand spout through and let it hang "loose" when the counterweight is soldered on.
