Description: Standard 4-shaft overshot has design potential in its blocks but zero flexibility in the halftones (they’re fixed in position and appearance). Moving overshot’s four blocks to eight shafts opens up huge design possibilities for the halftones: they can be omitted, placed anywhere, and styled in various ways.
In this seminar, you’ll learn:
* How to convert a 4S overshot draft to eight shafts
* Advantages to weaving regular 4S overshot on 8S
* What options exist for halftones in a 4B:8S overshot draft
* Why halftone placement is more important than appearance
* How to choose from the myriad options available
