Had to read thru this build again. You have comed a long way and shows a lot of building skills. This is a true watch and learn build!

You're right. Small details do take time but add so much to the overall build. Those lifting eyes are perfect. Now you and some of the crane guys can actually field assemble your excavator, after being hauled in by 7 or 8 lowboys. That would be a hobby show on its own!

Thanks guys!!

Did some work on the pin keepers......










Used a small sanding disc on a die grinder and a guide with the proper radius to finish the keepers after rough cutting them on the bandsaw, not the most accurate way to do it, but it does work fairly well.
