For fans of DD gadgets
John reports that he has modified our DD Boulder Relocating Apparatus:
1) vertical angles increased to reduce lift height & stress on arms
2) pivot point on single tine flipped to increase opening width and reduce lift height
3) bottom tine length reduced to move grab point forward for safer carriage
4) single tine height higher than the opposing double such that it pushes rock into the double tines for safer easier carriage
