Brett Slater Posted September 12 Share #331 Posted September 12 Your metalworking skills are quite extraordinary ! I've just made something similar but used plastic and that was hard enough, how you achieve this sort of result in brass is beyond me !

Valeriy V Posted September 13 Author Share #335 Posted September 13 Thank you all for your feedback and likes! I hope that the continuation will be no less interesting for all of you. 16 hours ago, Brett Slater said: I've just made something similar but used plastic and that was hard enough, how you achieve this sort of result in brass is beyond me ! The thing is that, in turn, I will not be able to make the same windlass out of plastic. I am used to metal. And if you redirect your efforts from plastic to metal, then, in the end, you will undoubtedly succeed. yvesvidal, Mirabell61, Keith Black and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingFish Posted September 24 Share #341 Posted September 24 Thanks for sharing this - they may be 'available' but the skill to use them; now that's another matter! Interesting that he uses a large soldering iron - I can see the advantages to having heat stored like this - I have often thought that most 'hobby' irons are too small, or low powered.

yvesvidal Posted September 25 Share #342 Posted September 25 Excellent video. I own a small collection of brass engines in O scale and that video gives me even more respect for the skills and patience that these little marvels require, to be built. I wish he had detailed the process of solder removal from the parts, as most models that you buy unpainted, have no marks or traces of soldering. And yes, unfortunately, only Asian people are capable of building such marvels nowadays. At least for a decent price. The O Scale model we saw in the video would retail for more than $2,000 in the American market, when produced in small quantities (50-100 units).

FlyingFish Posted September 27 Share #349 Posted September 27 It's wonderful, and even more impressive when macro-photographed like this. As I have said before - it would be tremendous if you could write a tutorial book on metalwork - meanwhile these posts serve as a standard for us all to aspire to. I still think that match is about 6" long. 🤣 mtaylor, FriedClams, cotrecerf and 4 others 4 3 Quote Andy 'You're gonna need a bigger boat!' Completed Build: Orca from the film 'Jaws'.

Valeriy, there are folks that can do that for you. Your work is good enough for a coffee table style book of photos including a description of what ship the part was made for and date that you made the part. Over the years I watched you produce little works of art that are included in your builds. I for one would certainly be pleased to have a hard copy of your work.
