NenadM got a reaction from grsjax in The Kit-Basher's Guide To The Galaxy
There is one question that made my mind fluffy ... dead eyes 3-4mm dia ... from different reasons I don`t want to order and to by them ... at another side, to make them from wood - impossible mission for me. So - what to do?
And idea comes after couple months braking my head
On photos I present only idea and testing of idea, with non-adequate ropes and knots
I found brass pipes with inside dia 1mm and 2mm ... and thinking ... oneo to other, I have got 3-4mm outer dia ...
Soldering three of them in triangle form
Cut this structure on desired width and clean holes, and I got this!
Playing arround with first "rope" I found in home, just to try
Ok, it can be painted ....
And just testig does it work
And I think this will be final soolution for me

FOLDER MECHANISM - part 4
In my sctrach build of CS, chekpoint I get stuck are deck winches ...
Scale is app. 1:100, so, considering C-plans, dimensions are show on picture above
Hmm, pretty small, and I want as much as possible details
Question of material to use raised
First attempt was wit paper laminated with vener, covered with acrylic paint, with idea to use acrylic ability to plastify
Not good, too fragile
Next attempt was with Cu foil 0,3mm
So soft to manipulate with
Results:
I need something harder, but not to much, to be able to modify it with my Einhel graver set and tools I have
And i rembered, that I use earlier in my build parts of folder mechanism, so why not again?
I printed my working drawings on self-adhesive paper, and prepare metal part for working with
And - yes, this is it!
On next pictures you can se test part
Sure, next step is to make four of them more precise
