  1. Thumb test drive.

    Works great! Picks up logs and concrete beams and even delicate stuff such as steel beams. I'm well pleased with the result 😸

    The huge concrete beam weighs somewhere beyond 8 tons and is too heavy for our little digger, but it can grip it and drag it around. The thumb and fangs easily withstand the full force of the bucket curl cylinder.

  6. Thumb ready. Finished making the pins and adjuster holes.

    Didn't weld tubes inside the other holes. We'll see how they hold up. If they do oval out I can still do that, for the ones I use a lot.

    I see now why nobody sells adjustable thumbs. This was a lot of extra work that would make it too expensive. Only DIYers get to have it :)

    Only primer on there yet, still need to paint it but only have orange, blue and green available, none of which match well here.

  7. Thumb is getting there. Cut off the corners, flipped them around and welded them back on as reinforcements, now the whole thing looks more streamlined. I think it'll be strong enough without doubling up the thickness near the fangs.

    If they break I'll do it :)

    Also made two pins out of three. This is the dullest job in the world, drilling a 8mm hole through 25mm solid rod, but the pins I bought weren't long enough after some design tweaks. At least it's not stainless steel!

  14. Wanted to draw a #thumbnail for Our silly #video about doing a no hit run on #Lace from #HollowKnight: #Silksong while playing as a very tired #TimeLoop trapped #Hornet and kind of went well beyond Our usual comfort zone, it's been a while since We actually enjoyed drawing this much.

    Stumbled upon this channel youtube.com/@Zailorz and couldn't help but get their sheer enthusiasm for drawing rub off on Us.

    One minute you're checking out the void where you would normally see the GMan from the Half Life series, and the next minute you all decide to be Spermits floating around in the abyss.

  17. Thumb update:

    Made the thumb wider so it fits better between the bucket teeth, which required cutting new reinforcements. Cut the ones for the support leg as well and decided where to attach it to the thumb.

    Then worked on the adjustable support leg. A cylinder each welded to the end of a box section. The lower fitting was easy, just an approximate half-circle with three shallow cuts of the angle grinder and then bend it back and forth until it breaks out.

    The upper fitting having the added challenge of being narrower than the box section, so it got tapered a bit by cutting some wedges out and banging on it with a hammer.
