Beautiful work!

Such a fine craftsman you are. I was about to abandon my crude efforts on the stove, but your work has inspired me not to give up…. Yet. One difficulty I am encountering is soldering a third piece to an already soldered joint between two other pieces, as in connecting the cross piece between the two side frames. How do you keep the first one from melting?

you have to use a heat-insulating paste on the solder already made!

Like this:

OK. I have the paste, yellow ochre, but when you add a third piece to a joint already soldered, how does that work? 

[druxey]

Keep pasting on the ochre on all the joints you wish to protect. Or, if you mean soldering three pieces together in the same spot, you either need to solder them simultaneously or use a lower melting point solder for the second pass to attach the third piece (can be tricky!)

[hdrinker]

OK. Right. Got it. Thanks. Makes sense.

I must have missed it, but how did you make the "glass" in the windows?

[giampieroricci]

I make window glass with this resin:

a slight difficulty for these hinges:

everything is provisional still, I have to prepare the right-hand doors before fixing the bulkhead and beam

 

[Mic_Nao]

Is this English method of making doors as thick as the partitions ?

[Trussben]

Nice Bulkheads!

How did you flair the outside ends of the scupper port pipes.

[Kevin Kenny]

Sorry Scuffer ports

[giampieroricci]

I did not mould the outer parts: I let them come out by a few millimetres
