Bravissimo, Giampiero! That's the cherry on the ice cream sundae.

Working hinge on the lantern as well! Wow!

[Kevin Kenny]

Incredible work. And that hinge! What did you use as glass behind the stern light?

I used the same resin that I used for the other lights:

with a small, thin grinding wheel, after having made the correct rake angle on the traditional grinding wheel

[davec]

wow - I've tried that and have not been able to get anything close to the precise shape you were able to do.

[Tonphil1960]

Absolutely fantastic work.

Incredible work 👍

I continue with the long work on the preventer plates: I thought I would take a photographic step-by-step that I hope will be useful:
 

I used ordinary 1 mm brass wire:

After preparing the part, it is necessary to weld:

 

To give it its final shape, I used an old, suitably shaped iron plate

Tthat is a really helpful pictorial explanation. Thank you.

I am sharing a video I made for those interested in small metal welding. Following some tutorials and videos, I built myself a resistance welder; it is a type of welder that they use mainly in model railways, where it is necessary to make many close welds. This type of soldering iron uses a 10 Ah transformer with 3-6V outputs and has the advantage that it heats, by means of a small graphite electrode and a ground wire, exactly the spot where the soldering is to take place for just a few seconds; this means that you can also make close-set soldering joints without running the risk of desoldering those previously made. Various types of tips can be used, including a ‘clamp’ system, which is very useful when parts to be soldered must be held together.  Everything else is self-made and I must say that I am very satisfied with the results!

Fantastic video Giampiero! Silver solder will not work if gaps are present. Is this the same for resistance soldering?
