CPR Water Tower (Enclosed)

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I'm super excited about how this is turning out...





The careful observer will notice that the chain is off one of the pulleys in the first pic. The Mantra while threading all of this together was "patience, patience, patience". I was trying to figure out how to attach the chains to all of this. I already used some eyelets with an idea in mind, however the chain even at 40 links per inch (or something like) that was still too big to thread through them. I also did not want to try and spread the eyelet and then try and crimp the chain in it. Then I got the idea to use .008 bronze and was able to thread it through the link and eyelets. Then I tied it together and used a small amount of solder to lock it all in place. All I need to do is use some paint to touch it up and we're set.

Now I can finally turn my attention to the roof and all of its little details.
