Double block

This the block that will go on the boom. It is complete now, all stainless steel and plastic. I thought it came out quite heavy, but it is 170 g, compared to the 135 g of the Ronstan model it replaces.

It underwent a metamorphosis to a double block because I realized the single block needs a clevis to anchor the sheet. This will require a redesign of the cheeks, so I'll make a fresh start.
