KeithAug Posted March 30, 2020 Author #963 Posted March 30, 2020 Sometimes the eye strain gets a bit much and I need to return to the full sized world of machining. I needed to complete a project that had been on the shelf for about 7 years and I spent a couple of days doing so. I made 4 steel rods 12mm diameter and just over 150mm long, axially drilled and tapped at both ends. I also drilled a cross hole about 10mm from the upper end. Additionally i needed 2 shorter and larger diameter pieces which I made from a printer roller salvaged some time ago. All were polished. I also needed 8 small and 2 large conical washers, cut from 6mm plate and then turned on a mandrel mounted in the lathe. Once tuned the washers were polished. Once made the parts were assembled and soft rubber pads were glued to the 2 large washers and 4 of the smaller washers. I now need to finish the 7 year old project.

KeithAug Posted March 31, 2020 Author #976 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Ok - I apologise for my little game, I blame my incarceration. About 7 years ago I completed HMS Cornwall and since then she has resided in a plastic bag on a top shelf of the workshop, occasionally picking up minor damage. I couldn't be bothered to make a case, or get round to ordering one. Finally the need for workshop shelf space prompted me to buy one and fortunately it was delivered the day before lockdown. Rather than install the model on a stand inside the case, I decided to engineer the stand into the base itself - hence the metalwork. Well done Eberhard - you win the prize. Oh! and of course Steve you too!!!!

druxey Posted March 31, 2020 #980 Posted March 31, 2020 Keith, it's obvious - now! With all due respect to your talents, I agree with wefalck: those lateral supports take the eye away from the model. Perhaps lower them or even substitute clear acrylic would make them less obtrusive. I hesitate to be critical of your superb work, but....
