Eddy, how did you have them made?

We are looking into getting a few done by a blacksmith.

i borrowed a crook from kevin and took it to the profilers with a load of other bits, the profiling fella was concerned that the crook would bend when it was flame cut from a sheet of steel due to it being narrow but they turned out fine.
the guy charged me a £100 cash for all 3.

when i go back to the profilers i'll ask them if it is possible to put the cutting programme for the crooks into an email so it can be sent to anyone anywhere. as posting bits of steel to the 4 corner of the earth is expensive.

Default I got one made by a blacksmith.

Problem is they used mild steel square section, and it bent when I used it, so its there for show only!

I use the crow bar with blocks now, to move the adjuster forward.

hi fella's

i got the guy from the profiling company to email the cad programme for the shepherds crook to me so if anyone wants the programme send me an email and i'll forward it on to you. it's a dxf file and should be compatible for most cad software.
