That is an unusual valve. Too bad some of this stuff is hidden when it's put togather. |

Wes/Nick/Rob Thanks for your nice comments and support. Got some work done on the stand, had a sort through my stash and came up with these bits. I had a square of black plastic that I was planning to use for the base but it was a bit on the thin side and the proportions didn't look like, that chunk of wood looks a bit thick as well :scratch: Any way made a start on the upright I'm using a bit of ally ingot, its nearly a pyramid, cleaning up the sides. It was getting a bit difficult to clamp so tilted the head of the mill. Found a thinner bit of hard wood under the bench that's is a bit thinner. don,t know what sort of wood it is, its a nice gingery red. Squared up the edges in the mill and used a radius cutter to sculpt the edges. And thats what its going to look like, I need to get some sand paper to clean it up a bit more but it looks OK. Made a start on tidying things up and assembly, I,m not a great one for making things too shiny, its just a personal thing, I like them to display honesty and bare witness as to how they were made. Have fun Stew |
