Lifting Eyes

30/06/08

I was on my own so it was a bit awkward to get a picture as I was doing the job, so this was the best I could do.  I deliberately got the bar a lot longer than I needed to give me some leverage for the bend.  I heated it to red hot and quickly bent it round the jig in one smooth go.  Its pretty thick making it hard to bend, even when red hot.  Worked really well this method.  I made all three and while they were cooling off, I started to make the lifting eye base parts which I will complete tonight.
