Thanks Chaps I think I've got it sorted in my mind know which way to go, I don't like to jump in when I've got problem like this I like to let them sit for a bit so I can think and weigh up my options. Rob:- yes I made that foot for the vernier this is the thread. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1800.0 I've used it a lot the other end it cut away for marking out. Stew |

Glad you were able to get back to it after sorting things out, Stew. The tip about using a "tickle wire" is a good one. Would be really handy drilling in close cross holes where a guy doesn't want little divots inside the tubing/pipe. Thanks! Dean |

Dean --- End quote --- Amen to that bit of info, it seems like a very useful technique to avoid pits where they can't easily be fixed, will definitely be useful lots! Nice work on the working out of the rear of the fire box, and resolution of the interferance. A typical case where the reduction of something in size in three dimensions has irritating aspects in the two dimensional aspect of surface area when it comes to fittings and external fitments. Nice job on the stays and the soldering as well, top notch all the way, I expect this to be a real work of beauty when it is finally steamed up. I enjoy the attitude of a "new challenge" rather than the loss of composure, so often seen in our working world, but not necessarily in our hobby world, where we can throw away the error, and start anew, with more experience. It has helped me in my world of work, and transferred over to a large degree, and I am far less frustrated in life in general because of knowing it is just a part, it can always be made again. When done by someone with the skills shown by Dean, it inspires a desire to match it for myself for my own edification, if for nothing else. :thumbup: :thumbup: mad jack |
