Thanks all for the interest and kind words.
Moving on to the cable guides for the boom .
Marked off the width on brass sheet with a pair of dividers. I filed one point to a chisel shape for this .
Strip cut off with scissors-
Strip bent around drill bits to form a loop while in hard state -
Loop annealed with torch -
Buck made of wood by creating open ended hole of appropriate diameter and easing corners with a radius bit -
Loop formed over buck with ball peen hammer-
Trimmed to size and fitted to boom -
After fastening guides with epoxy I will permanently attach the roller/ fairlead assembly to boom and finish remaining weld beads .
Thanks for looking!
