It’s been a busy month: DCD Design have created a new how-to video for the Eagle Cable Lasher, demonstrating some of the features and showing you how to load the lashing wire. (This ties in to next month’s promotion. Subscribe to the mailing list and keep an eye out for updates.)
 

We put this one together on the workbench and outside on our ‘test line’ to show off the lightweight Eagle. Like the larger Lineman lasher, it uses tension from the lashing wire to drive the drum, not traction on the strand. As long as you’re moving forward, you’re spinning!

In other news, we’ve just finished an intensive four-day basic training for Solidworks 3D software. It’s astonishing what this software can do: if you can sketch it on a napkin at lunch, we can create a 3D model by the end of the day! DCD Design have always been progressive when it comes to listening to our customer’s requirements; now we can assess and turn around a new design faster than ever before.
AND! Direct Horizontal Drilling of Edmonton have been setting up for a river crossing in the neighbourhood: a new gas pipeline is going to be pulled under the Fraser River tonight! Good luck and smooth pulling to them.
