Few pics for you Keith:

Just cut from a brass strip and crudely shaped. Hole drilled for a nail in top and a big hole drilled and ground to fit over the loop bit

I just played with some of my carbide and diamond bits to texture etc.

the bit attached to the chest bottom had two holes drilled into it and I made a ring eye - cut in half and glued into the drilled holes and into the wood of the chest.

Hinges made from brass strip cut to size and then cut to look like a capital "F" and the sticky out bits of the "F" were rolled back to make tubes - and a pin inserted through the holes

Believe me.. it was very crude :) I didn't even do a trial.. I was playing with the burrs and had no intention of actually making anything - just seeing what they did - and I used the trial bit of brass to make the lock bit.

 

Now I have some new tools (things that the burrs fit into... dentists drill - I am very impressed with it) - I suspect next time it will be a planned item and hopefully done a little better.

Hi Meredith,

 

Your boat turned out fantastic.  That chest is incredible also, thanks for sharing.

 

I love the colours of your boat, the rich wood tones against that blue is very pleasing to the eye.

 

Cheers
