Yeah Carl, that'll keep all youns off balance I have a few more to tickle your nerves with I did manage to make some time this morning and bought a 200 teeth 10 inch saw blade for my jobbers table saw. Now I heave to find some time to cut the plexy glass. To prevent it from cracking and chipping I'll install the blade backwards and let it protrude about 3/16th of an inch above the table deck. That way I'll have a little wiggle room and feed it slowly. Cheers, popeye the sailor, jud, cog and 4 others 7 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted July 4, 2018 Author #314 Posted July 4, 2018 Very well done OC and that as a teenager. I think I have completed the jig for putting the plexy glass case together. I have also mounted two shelf brackets to the wall next the O19 model and above my drawing table. I'll show some pics when I get to it. Hope to start cutting the glass tomorrow, I already asked Gwen to help me holding the sheet for me and she graciously agreed Cheers, Old Collingwood, Canute, Jack12477 and 4 others 7 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted July 6, 2018 Author #315 Posted July 6, 2018 Hello every one, Here's an update of work done in the last couple of days. Cutting the plexy glass went without a hitch and managed to do it without Gwen's help. I just made a support with a few boxed till the first two sides were cut and could remove them for the rest. After all four sides were cut I smoothed the edges out with 180 grit sand paper backed by a 10 inch piece of food, like a sanding stick. Then I clamped three sides in the jig and carefully applied the cement to the edges. This was kinda tricky because the cement is "thinner" then water and did spill over in a few cases causing some smudging, which I hope to remove with a polishing disc. After these three sides were cured I rotated the assembly and clamped the last side in the jig and cemented that one in place. Today I cut the top piece out and cemented that to the box. When using two pieces of corner molding I liked the idea of going ahead and putting corner molding on all corners, it looks much "dressier" then without them. It also hides a few of the cement smudges So, off to the home improvement store for some nice small corner molding. I'll stain them with the same stain as the base and use a few dabs of epoxy cement to glue them in place but that'll be a job for Sunday or later. The jig Hr. Ms. Java next to Hr. Ms. O19 and Hr. Ms. O16 Hr. Ms. Java above my drawing table Plexy glass sawing setup. Display case jigged to check for fit. I removed the protective paper only at the to be cemented sides. I did not take pictures of that process, sorry Display case partially finished. Corner molding to be added. The glare on the left side is from my book shelves. behind me.

Piet Posted July 9, 2018 Author #325 Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks gents for the nice comments and of course the banter, enjoyable. You mean the wood for the sanding stick Lou? It's a piece of multiplex 11 X 1.5 X 5/8 in this case. It's long enough not to make it wavy. Today I had to remove about 1/8 inch from the sea bordering the side molding so the "glass" could sit on it nice and even. I also put small wooden pegs in the corners to prevent the "glass" from sliding off. Tomorrow I'll see what Lowes or Home Depot has for corner molding. It usually comes in 1/4 inch thickness, which is too heavy to my liking so I'll have cut it down some. We'll see what they have, I can always make it fit. I'm shooting for no more then 1/2 inch wide by 1/8 inch thick. Cheers, Old Collingwood, mtaylor, Jack12477 and 6 others 9 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted July 10, 2018 Author #326 Posted July 10, 2018 Hello Everyone, and my thanks to all who clicked the like button. I was not successful finding smaller corner molding to I'll have to work with what I have in stock. I proceeded to cut all the pieces to size and temporarily taped them to the "glass" case. Next will be to remove about 1/8 inch from the sides and sand them smooth so I can apply the stain. Once the stain is dry enough to handle I'll cement them to the "glass." I think that I should make 4 corner pieces from copper or brass sheet to kinda dress it op a bit. After everything is done and looking good it's time to put the name plates on and place the finished diorama of Hr. Ms. Java on the shelf. I have also rearranged the gun smoke a little and thinned out the funnel smoke. Here is the diorama as of this afternoon.
