new projectile

the find of the century (not Jerry Orbach), two 4 pound balls for $1.52 each.
release pin

now we have an adjustable release pin.. better than pulling out the bernz-o-matic and bending 1/4 inch steel.. hopefully.
reinforced

we added these supports to the sloped rails... they sure look stronger.
u bracket

here's how we're attaching the pulleys to the top of the CW tower.
pulleys

these pulleys are at the top of the CW tower.
misinstalled winch

another shot of the amazingly misinstalled winch.
winch closeup

here's the new power plant... too bad it's in the wrong spot.
breakage

more of the breakage after taking apart the arm.
heat

uninsulated building... wicked cold.
hardware

$100 worth of new hardware.. note the ruthless winch!
projectile

the remains of our very first projectile...
disassembled

a shot of the disassembled treb.
failed axel

failed CW axel assembly
failed rail

shot of the poorly designed rail that led to catastrophic failure. (and we all know who the "designer" is)

another shot of the busted rail
