So timelines have stretched and it is only now that I am starting to make the component parts.

The lunette pieces are a bought in item at my retail cost of $30 a piece which considering I have made a lunette before, a long complicated pain of a process, I am happy to pay to avoid doing over again. It has a 5 ton capacity.

The C shape ends that engage the horns on the BV have been made over this jig and some heat. They obviously are made long and trimmed. I'm off to a mates shop who has a 3/4" drill and a very substantial drill press later today.

So there is no confusion, the soapstone markings for the holes were done after the bending process.

I will hopefully get two sets and maybe the third fabricated over this long weekend.

Hope it illustrates the method clearly for all to enjoy

Robin
