Hi Peter, I just love how all the different parts of the Balder in your photos have that brand new pristine look about them. I also spotted that cursed twist in the 4-part main sheet. I used to see that same thing in our company cranes when we would make a heavy pick of bridge beams and about halfway through the setting process the darn things would suddenly twist up causing a serious potential line cutting mishap while under the heavy loads.

Hi Daniel. You are right about the twist. The lower block has a axel but has to much friction:
