jbshan Posted October 29, 2015 Share #271 Posted October 29, 2015 Catching up a bit: I really like your copper plate stamp. Just the few pictures you've put up make the method really clear, thanks. In future, to make a piece, like your cap rail, with a flat bend, you can make a laminated assembly with several square lengths bent around the curve. Use a series of pins or nails set to the curve, or cut a block of wood to the curve and use that to determine the curve as you glue additional lengths of the square stock. A piece of plastic wrap underneath will help it release. If it's all the same type of wood, the grain shouldn't be too noticeable.

Beef Wellington Posted October 29, 2015 Share #272 Posted October 29, 2015 Just another option, Admiralty make a copper paint that has micro flecks of copper in it and it is supposed to darken over time. I really liked the colour, as its a different, but not a complete contrast to the copper plates. Piet, mtaylor, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Piet Posted October 29, 2015 Share #273 Posted October 29, 2015 That looks really, really, REAAAAALLY very nice JesseLee! You could try washing the copper with diluted dishwashing soap and rinse with clean water. Use a sponge - - a little stray water on the wood won't hurt a bit, as long as you allow it to air dry.

Omega1234 Posted October 29, 2015 Share #274 Posted October 29, 2015 Hi Jesse Yep...really nice job on the copper plates. I'm in the 'patina' camp, because I've always thought it looks more weathered and, hence realistic; but that's just me. Whichever way you choose would look just as good. Nice job!

_SalD_ Posted October 31, 2015 Share #287 Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Jesse just catching up. Your plating came out great, nice job. I decided not to do anything with my plates and just let them age over time. For the edges and corners you might want to try a wallpaper seam roller. I used one and it keeps the plates down nicely. Try it on a scrap piece and see if it might help, don't press too hard. Oh, and happy BD.

gjdale Posted November 1, 2015 Share #293 Posted November 1, 2015 I'm inclined to agree with Joel, if soldering isn't an option, then epoxy is probably a good choice.

rtropp Posted November 1, 2015 Share #294 Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Jessie, Before I bought my torch I used Solder-it, a low temperature soldering paste. It is available from Amazon, among other places. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058ED0GO?keywords=solder%20it&qid=1446389742&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 Ideal for speeding up soldering tasks Works with the heat of a match or lighter Will join 22 different combinations of metals Easy-to-use, no mess, no-waste syringe 7.1 grams . No, its not as good as silver soldering, but that requires a pretty good investment and can be difficult to master. It seems to hold up well, especially in areas that do not experience much pressure or pull. Mine, so far, have held up just fine. Richard You might want to try it.

JesseLee Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share #296 Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks for the input. I might try the epoxy. Will it hold something with such a small surface area to be bonded? (22 ga. brass wire). Richard, I'll have to check the Solder-It out. I had something like it called Miracle Weld, a paste that was just like that. It didn't work but that was 15-20 years ago. If you have had good results with the Solder-It I will look into it! Welcome Greg! Thanks for the encouragement. Input is always welcome!

clearway Posted November 1, 2015 Share #297 Posted November 1, 2015 Belated birthday greetings Jesse- i drill into the hull and use brass pins held with super glue gel which sets faster than epoxy but doesnt need to be a tight fit like normal superglue. keith Piet, mtaylor and GLakie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbshan Posted November 1, 2015 Share #298 Posted November 1, 2015 There should be enough of a gap to keep things secure. Use extra and file back to the correct shape. Pic is of the rudder post (left) and stern post (right) on an Arab craft. Pin on rudder drops into the gudgeon on stern post, gravity holds it in place. Yours probably has more of a zig zag edge where the pintles are set in a notch in the rudder post.

JesseLee Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share #299 Posted November 1, 2015 My instructions say to solder or glue that pin that drops from the pintle & through the gudgeon. Nothing is holding for me. After studying the picture I think I can have the pin come straight down out of the notch in the rudder post. When it is all assembled no one will be able to tell that is coming down out of the wood & is not actually attached to the pintle. It will still work the same. I can still glue it where it touches the pintle on the inside too.
