Thanks guys!


Got some shop time on the excavator again, made up the plates for the top of the outer boom:





Next up is to make the plates that hold the base of the hydraulic cylinders...

Got started on the plates to hold the cylinder bases to the booms:





Test fitting, needs a little trimming on the mating surfaces and some sanding on the top curves...





These will get bolted to the booms, then will get started on the pivots.
