custom metal ball hook swivels

[jumpcannon]

here's the swivel housings i have been working my guts out on...so far they are turning out really nice! These are machined from solid steel and not cast iron. Next i gotta make the balls and hooks. So stay tuned!

BAG ON!!!!

Looks really cool. You have got a nice workshop, with all kinds of heavy machinery. You must be a machinist?

[Tim]

Lookin' good! Thanks for a peek at the work shop. So is the one hanging on the platform using an everlast ball/hook? Because you mentioned you haven't yet made the ball part...

[jumpcannon]

no i used to be a machinist. railroader now. i just do this kinda work as a hobby. tim...good eye. thats the hook from the plastic swivels. i still need to countersink the mounting holes, then start machining the balls. my hooks may be a little different style when all is done.

Wow, those look fantastic! Very nice work AND very nice shop too. Thumbs up!

[Mrs Mitts]

Yes, it all looks amazing! Very impressive work and good luck with the rest of the project. I have never tried an all metal swivel, I'm sure you'll have plenty of customers if you decide to sell any in the future.

Very nice work, JC. Keep us updated on your progress. Anxious to see the final result once all the components are assembled.

Beautiful workmanship, Jumpcannon. Very impressive. Sign me up if and when you start selling them. I have been itching to try a ball-hook swivel.

[jumpcannon]

Ok Avadia....Congrats! Your my first customer. I just prototyped my first ball. Wow they are nice. perfect slick finish! I am gonna run 20 balls.....then do my S hooks.

I figured you already hand a long list of customers from the forum regulars but if that’s not the case, please put me on your list as well!
