Hi thanks. I`m using Solidworks 2010. We are a small engineering company and Solidworks really makes life easier for us.

It also worked out much cheaper to fabricate my own bucket than to buy a new one.

Looks great! It was cool seeing the parts come togeather. Thanks for all the pics. :drinkup

Thanks, sorry for coming back so late seeing your reply.

Was busy at work and did not have time to look around on forums.

The bucket moved about 10 cubic meters(we use the metric system here in South Africa so don`t know the imperial value) so far without bending or twisting.
