Ok been kind of slow getting stuff out. I have been working in CAD trying to get good at 3d modeling. I am starting with the hitachi 470 since i had started them in 2d.
Doing these i will be able to 3d print buckets or print masters for casting.

1st one i did was a hd bucket 7 tooth with tiger teeth





Next i did a narrow 3 tooth bucket







i am hoping to have a small run of these ready before November. Done have my own printer yet so i have to out source.

Ok got my 3d prototypes in for my tonkin cat loaders. I plan on getting these cast in metal but it is not cheap. So i am slowly getting the funds saved up to cast.
I need to fix a couple spots on both models for the final production model.

OK guys for you that have not seen my facebook posts I have done 3 different sizes of Montabert hammers. The huge V65, the V55 and the V32. These are all drawn in CAD and then 3d printed. I finally received all three prototypes in now I am just looking at different production options.
These and all the other new products will be available right here at DHS

Applause I have a set of the forks, fitted to a Liebherr 586. They are fully functional and made of good quality metal.
