Holding tho hopper square to solder was a nightmare, so II got some magnetic assistance.
Using rods to hold it all together to solder. Fun. Ish.
The hopper with the discharge chute and the grab complete.
The two halve of the grab that comes with the kit. Someone used to make a crane kit that went with this, but no more it seems.
