Today I made the brass nuts that that the steam and exhaust pipes will be soldered to. First I turned 20mm of the brass down to 3.90 mm I was determined to have another go at threading the brass. The I cut the metal and turned it around in the chuck and faced it to length. I drilled a 2mm hole right through the piece. This will be the port hole essentially. And I took the outer diameter down to 6mm. I turned the piece back around and threaded m4 with the die. I repeated these steps and made another. I drilled and tapped the main plate and screwed them in. I will seal the threads with Plumbers PTFE tape and a fibre washer, that should stop the steam. |
