Working on twist #3. After looking at it for a bit now. I'm wondering if I need to do the other 3.

It would certainly grab snow better if you did.

Hmm, maybe run it with 3 and see how it goes? Good enough may save a bunch of tedious work. Not good enough and you're back where you started anyway.

Mr fish has a valid point there

[Oldskool 6,643]

@wallfish. @ebinmaine I'm doing the rest of them. Its easier to do it now and I have the steel. I have twist 4 and 5 bent already. Go big or go home right?

[Oldskool 6,643]

Its definitely going to look better with all the twists. All of a sudden i want to laugh the villain laugh. Mwahahaha and hold the world for ransom for a MILLionnn dollars...... mwahahaha

Looks awesome!

All 37ft of screw drive blade is now tacked in place. Maybe this screw will be done tomorrow. Only 1 more to build. Thank goodness

[Oldskool 6,643]

Fun fact: A 20 ton hydraulic jack will propel a 1 foot piece or 1/4"x 2"x3" tubing vertically approximately 5-1/2 ft. That's also definitely the same height off the bench as a shop light.

Just to liven things up, you gotta get reoriented since that the second one twists the other way!

I know right. I've had this fear of building the whole thing to find out I made 2 of the same.

Nope.  It would just mean the controls would get more interesting.
