Default Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

I do alot of metal bending in my regular job. I could have made them a little nicer if I took the time to make a better jig rather than using a flat bar with a 1/8'' drill bit to get the radius started and then press them into a die Funny thing, when I got to the bottom of the pile of sheaves I discovered 3 that had a smaller bore. These were supposed to be used on the three shackles. I made the OD to match the larger bores I need to go back and mill the ends down smaller. I wondered why they looked so big Man the eye sight is really needed to blend the ends to make them look like a forged piece with the Dremel tool.
I hate stopping on something and forgetting what I was doing a month prior
