Great result, Norman. Looks like it will be really sturdy in use......OZ. |

Thanks for the comments, it keeps me keen. Today I made the sector arms, fiddly bits to do as I wanted to keep the size down. I attached the fixed arm quite crudely by peening over the metal with a centre punch. Ideally I would have used something like 10BA countersunk screws but as I have neither screws nor tap I did it this way. I'm going to make the division plates from cast aluminium, I am not expecting to be using it that often so they should last. If not I can always make steel ones later. |

Hi Norman I agree with you regarding the water based wood filler for pattern making. I have been converted for three years now, and find it much easier to use and much cheaper. The RT looks great, well done. Cheers David |

It's been an interesting couple of days. Yesterday I made a pattern for the division plates and cast them. I also dug out an old pattern to make a casting to use as a jig to hold the plates for machining. |
