Next I moved to the left end of the factory to do something about securing that new smoke stack before it blows over in the 35mph wind gusts we've been getting south of Houston the last couple of days.

I decided to make a "metal" band with 3 guy wires to support the stack.

I made the band from left over pastel paper from the barn siding.  The guy wires are some very fine styrene "wire" that I happened to find a pack of in my supply drawer.  Its tiny stuff but flexible and a little easier to work with than wire.  At least in this instance.

After sizing the band I spaced the 3 wires and attached them with canopy glue.  I let this dry over night and then painted it with some floquil aged silver.
Cheers

Roger, that is probably the best idea for doing guy wires I have ever seen. You have shown me something new that will definitely work for some of my applications. Thanks. Great build, by the way.
