And so it begins

Looks like Xmas decorations

[Pavel]

With all due respect!
make a basket and as an antipode - this pornography, it's painful to watch!
This was made for the average person...
You should remake the fastening points of Aunt Sarah's necklace.
What they offer us is nowhere near the original...

And THESE bolts are like a knife to the heart.....

[HERMAN BIX]

Ha yeah I get ya Mr Pavel. !!
For now these chain mace strands are easier to place when the mounting brackets are on the tank & hanging. I have not secured them yet.
The screws while ugly are functional for this manipulation for now.
Although they are hidden from view by other fittings when complete, I do intend to use small bolts if I can get some.

More bling than a West Indian Cricketer !!

Not secure yet, still to add corner drops and set heights but an ok look.

[Pavel]

I made feeders for small items without a wall....
If there is nothing to do, I will put rings, or maybe I will leave it like this.....


Cricket..... we call this game "lapta", because they hit with a flat shovel, Lapta-Lapata... an ancient game in Russia!

But they started to forget her...
If you're interested, type Лапта on YouTube....

Those stowage bin walls are next on my list .I was going to leave them but once the balls & chains were done I decided to go back a bit as do those too .
I did toy with the idea of upgrading the engine vent/ battery cover to actual mesh & slats but for the gain Vs effort, not worth it.

I've been playing with putting rings on them, but it's difficult to get them to sit right. Not sure if you want to go down the road I'm on with that. I think I have some saved LED leg cut off parts that I may have to make into rings and solder them together as the wire I've tried is too thick.

[HERMAN BIX]

I have some very fine chain with round links that could be used but successfully splitting them and then joining each link again falls into the effort Vs reward category!!

I am quitting while ahead on that aspect !
The stowage content and canvas covers will add sufficient interest to these features without dying over rings as well

Just FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapta_(game)

Then, too, I wonder if Pavel knows what it means in the U.S. by "the ol' ball and chain."

[HERMAN BIX]

Much better with the wall gone as it should be.
