Meredith Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share #63 Posted January 5, 2014 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 CaptainSteve, mtaylor and captainbob 3 Quote Current builds: MS Syren HM Suppy Dos Amigos Completed: Schooner for Port Jackson MS 18th Century Longboat Bounty Launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted January 5, 2014 Share #64 Posted January 5, 2014 Superb, Meredith! Thanks for posting them. I suspect that your skills greatly exceed mine, but i'll see what I can do!

Meredith Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share #65 Posted January 5, 2014 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.

Captain Slog Posted January 5, 2014 Share #66 Posted January 5, 2014 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 Slog Quote _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HM Bark Endeavour (First Wood, On Hold) Borodino (1:200 Card, Current Build) Admiral Nakhimov (card 1/200) Mazur D-350 Artillery Tractor (1:25 Card) F-8 Crusader (1:48 Aircraft, Plastic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
