So you made them? Excellent.

Can you tell us how you made the pivots, how you chose the lengths, how you determined shock placement, what other work you had to do to make them work effectively, and their benefits and drawbacks after your experiences with them?

That would take more than 10 words and that would run into Attention Deficit not to mention being able to spell – I know we do not pick spelling around here but it would have to be readable.

Why do you guys bother?

Maybe you could just put rubber bands between the finger hole and bolt the blade tips in place and do away with the rest so nothing could interfere with the flex. Sorry if this is too complicated to understand - Maybe someone could Cad it up?

It's like a bag of mixed lollies, this one has it all... gwagen tech, pseudo tech, 5 words or less tech, but no fabrication. Guess actual fab in this thread is like the black jellybean in the mixed bag of lollies world, no one in their right mind is going to touch a scissor shackle fab thread. :?

One thing it did deliver was 3 solid quotes in the Priceless Quotes Thread, meaning it will forever be embellished in the history pages of AZ. Armsup
