Minature project

Just didnt like the straight sided shape of the bucket so reprofiled it, yep that looks better. If i get in the workshop tommorrow will get some wear strips cut and shaped for sides of bucket. Need some bucket pin bosses turned on a lathe and then the ears can go on. Putting the ears on is hardest part of job, they go on a set distance apart and have to line up exactly for the two bucket pins, even if you get them lined up, the weld heat only has to pull them a fraction and the pins wont go in, or if you weld them with the pins in you cant get them out. The things I do to amuse myself :lol::lol:
