Thanks to you too, RGY. I'll let you know how I get on when I try it! a little progress, got the water pocket done some drilling, filing, and bending These two bits were then soldered together, and filed to finish dimension. The plans call for drilling the back plate and the cover with a No 65 drill for a hinge pin, since I've no drills smaller that No 60 I soldered a bit of 1/16" OD tube on each to act as the hinge barrel, worked out OK here it is temporarily bolted to the tender side Joe |

getting a little further along: put a piece of flat brass on the mill to start making some tread plate: handily, have a 5 flute countersink that was just right to use as a cutter shifted the piece 60 degrees and cut the other direction: cutout the pieces needed, and soldered on some flat stock as a bracket: bedded the parts in a little clump of modelling clay as a work holder for soldering, worked just fine some filing, drilled the rivet holes, and bolted in place to have a look: some straightforward hacksawing, drilling, and filing to make up the drawstraps and re-enforcing straps and where they live: now back to painting some waterproofing onto the back deck of the house.... |
