What other ways/methods would you recommend? Why wouldn't you use shackles?
First, repeat that I'm really an optimist and really think the Andersen
design is VERY elegant in architecture...but...as with all things...the
devil is in the details.
BUT...am trained in design and to look at things critically, as all
things designed is not for the good days but for the worst day out
there where the gorilla and idiot will break it or Mr Murphy crosses
your path
CDRs were a thing of life as a designer and then as management. CDR
as in Critical Design Review where EVERYONE tosses rocks at the design
till either they bounced off or what broke acceptable to management
Shackles have their place, but for me, I'd attach the chain differently
as stated in both of my previous posts
To me, shackles are for a joint that will be disconnected often enough
to warrant that. In this case, I'd have it bolted in a sandwich of
plates and/or tubes welded onto those plates.
