dvm27 Posted May 21, 2023 Share #363 Posted May 21, 2023 That's a very interesting method of making gudgeons. Any problems where those corners meet? Seems like there's very little brass under the solder. mtaylor 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted May 22, 2023 Share #364 Posted May 22, 2023 Thats exactly how i made them Greg and it worked great. The only problem i had in the beginning is when shaping they got hot and the solder melted, so i used jewelry soft solder and that solved the melting issue. mtaylor, billocrates, KentM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will hold up very well when the rudder is assembled mtaylor, druxey, CiscoH and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
