I decided to take on a small project because I didn't model anything during the summer. Tilt up wall rigging looks like a nice project to start off with. I needed some small sheaves but, didn't have the right size so, I decided to make my own. I have been using my cordless drill like a lathe. I chucked an 0-80 wrench in the drill and used it for a mandrel. I used some small rivet reinforcements that I beveled on one side and then glued them together. I then evened up the grooves and smoothed them. This is what I'm trying to model  Making the sheaves          Here is the mock up of the equipment. Next is the wall itself and final rigging

One has to admire your modeling talents. Always something interesting when you post. Well thought out,well executed and shot like a photographer would do. Thank you.

That load is a puzzle by nature. You got more patience with wires than I for sure  That will be a really unique project, and a detailed load for a lifting dio. I like the idea of the custom metal pulleys. Having a couple of the YCC brass ones would also been a good option, although they are getting harder to find. S.
