" Did you silver solder it together? "
Est-ce une soudure à l'argent?
Sorry, Sealover. My french is more worst than my klingon. 
Sorry for the confusion Oliver, I was just wondering how you joined the flukes to the arm. see drawing.
Ahh, okay. sorry. Yes, with silver solder.
No problem, lovely work.
Very good work my friend - great to see your good progress
Thank you, Uwe. I tought a lot on your one liter bottle Nerofor last weekend .

This is a good demonstration of different focus and abilities between the generations for a lot of us. Younger ones growing up immersed in CAD and the internet are moving the wave of the future while those of us coming from the pre-computers/CAD era struggle to keep up or just do with what we have and can. Your time in the planning and CAD prep was well spent and I hope enjoyable and not too frustrating. PT-2 (Rich)
haha rich opposite for me im an old fart that grew up with mainframes punch cards tape drives as a programmer then came pcs and I kept up so I love doing cad work it is just most people dont understand that you cant just blast through a design because you using the computer. that you need to make files etc for each and every piece and that takes time and can get tedious. the drawing isnt too bad it is all the prep etc you need before you can draw.
Yes, I relate to punch cards and tape drives as they were part of our photo interpretation system equipment in 1963 through 66 when we had to use them to direct the output that we wanted from the chain printers for bombing encyclopedias and plotters for mission routes and items of interest. We were using binary ocatdecimal systems for aircraft attitude and location on each frame of photography and on the tapes of the electronic emissions interceptions. Long ago in a life far far away.

The spare anchor is now on place. The rigging of the anchorring was a littlebit funny. I did it four times and it tooks a lot of hours.
Incredible work Oliver! Quite an inspiration.
Well spent time although you may have rather spent it on other parts. Congrats. .. Rich (PT-2)
Thanks all for the comments and the likes. 
Sieht sehr gut aus - your spare anchor is looking very good - and well planned to install it together with the stanchion
Thank you Uwe. Yes, the assembly of all parts is sporty. You have always to think twice to avoid later problems.
