That looks one big sheet of brass!! Is it cz120 and what thickness? - just out of interest. |
| Meldonmech:
Hi Dave Thanks for the tip, will give it a try. Cheers David |
| Meldonmech:
Hi Chris The 1/8" brass sheet is not CZ120. It is a semi hard brass of unknown spec, which has proved to be satisfactory in the past. The book suggests 3/16" for the plates to ensure stiffness of the frame. I have plans to modify the clocks design should my plates and frame need extra stiffness. Cheers David |
| Meldonmech:
Hi Guys When using the jigsaw to cut out the clock plates, the upward action of the blade lifted the paper template in places making it difficult to follow the line. I had to stop several times and make quick drying adhesive repairs, so I would not recommend the use of wallpaper paste. Cheers David |

Hi David, I've used Pritt Stick for similar jobs. The paper (and Pritt Stick residue) comes off easily when soaked in water. Cheers. Phil. |
