Today I have been mainly making chains. Well a chain.

One of the many little projects lurking around the workbench is a Parkside Conflat and container.

The turnshackle and hooks are from Ambis. The chain is made from 36SWG soft copper wire as it is the only thing that I had that was both fine and pliable enough.

The shock absorbers are fine tube.

Four of these hold down the container. I have to agree with Goeff Kent in his 3rd book on wagons. Conflats and containers look naked without the chains.

Only three more to do...and the corner links on the container...and the links on the Conflat.
