Topic : Square Hoops

Anyone with one of these confounded things got any dimensions? I want to save a few quid and get my local metal bashing shop to make one rather than fork out £350 ..... CAD drawing would be very nice !!!!!!

Winder do them for a lot less than £350.... well that is for a bare hoop of course.

A couple of years ago Guy had a spare banging around which he sold to me for about £80. Add traveller and blocks....job done.

Our local shipyard (large pro yard and steel stockist)welded one up for us for £10 plus materials. It's worth looking into, try your local college engineering dept.
