Thanks Chris! But how do you turn the drums and still get them to hold weight? I strung mine out at lunch the other night at work and it actually holds up a decent amount of weight. I went for the home built look but you nailed the Jewell job there bud.

Here is a suggestion for you HCF !
Here is a quickfix !
1.) Grind or file drum face flat.
2.) Glue a 1/4 28 nut on center paint yellow.
3.)Buy 1/4 28 by 1" long roundhead screw bolt for each drum.
4.)Put one nut on threaded screw use as a locknut.
5.)Insert threaded rod into glued nut on drum now lock up against when turning drums.
6.)That is your key, Remove one done.You can glue a small rod in screw head slot for handle.
For a positive lock of the maindrum :
Glue a piece of styrene bracket behind drum under the inner barrel.
Drill a small hole thru drum and bracket.
Insert a pin for locking drum in the desired position.
Remove for drum rotation.
Regards
Chet

Thanks Chet! I believe I will try that on the next one. It sounds a lot easier than the friction lockup I've got going on now.

I finally figured out how to make some decent hydraulic lines. It's my first real attempt at anything real fancy.   And the waratah. I need to shorten these a bit but I still like how they turned out.   Thanks for looking.

I like your hydraulic lines what did you use to make them, along with the blue tape?

Mike I used some tubing I found at michaels. I believe it's for making bracelets or beading, and the ends are just the silver color crimp tubes from wal-mart. The only bad thing is that if you bend it too sharp it just kinks. Looks good otherwise though.

Thanks for the kind words bud. Here's a video of me rambling on and on and pointing the phone at some decent models. 330DL Yoader Vid

This update is later than I thought it would be but it was worth taking the extra time. I got a winch in the mail from 760bill and built a logging arch for it. So here's my latest creation, "D8T Loggers Special"    The sweeps are styrene tubing and the screens are just window screen. Thanks for looking!
