Build an Excavator from Scratch

24 hours later: The repair was successful.


The stick holds his position.

After this I've made a last stress test.

Mounting all the 20kg ballast as counterweight


And a little mandrel press was the lifting object


her weight


and finally the test. lift and hold. passed.


I'm very satisfied with this result. After a holiday the final work on the hull begins...

Detailwork.

A rough sawed


and fine filed patch for the cutout of the ladder lever


A door handle


and handrails complete the second of four parts of the hull.
