Building a Small Cable Suspension Bridge: with the Cable Locking System

"It's a beautiful little bridge and I'd be very proud of it if it were mine." - Dr. Raymond Cook, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering: University of New Hampshire. Marvin Denmark, a builder and craftsman with 50+ years of experience, demonstrates the process he used to design and construct an 80 ft. long small cable suspension bridge. This book includes some suspension bridge history along with engineering considerations, then explains and illustrates with diagrams and full-color photos the step by step process that was used to complete the project. His blog, wildcatman.wordpress.com, has excerpts from the book, a new cable locking system design, and a recent price list for parts for his bridge. A trailer for the cable locking system including video of the bridge building process is here: http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLXrzC9K5wQ

Anyone who is looking for ideas for a footbridge that is relatively easy to build without the use of heavy equipment or difficult to replace components may benefit from the design in this book and by using the patented "cable locking system."
