grendel Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 well i have stuck the too small set i have already cut out to a test piece of the wood, that has a coat of varnish. i will overspray with a clear coating to ensure it doesnt come unstuck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don't know if these would work, these are the things dentists use to brace a broken tooth to build it up. It's stainless and 0.05mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aver-Dental-Matrix-Bands-Siqveland-12-Pieces-Pack-High-Quality-Stainless-Steel/111555168451?var=410545820516&hash=item19f934c8c3:m:mk7EvTWwT-lqdduqUWCCblw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 no, not really the lettering is 10mm high, I have ordered some 0.04mm from china, and will see how well thaqt cuts when it gets here, the 0.02 cuts ok, but 0.1mm is too thick to cut using a scalpel.

wombat nee blownup Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Oh thanks. I’ve been popping paracetamol and ibuprofen for two months now for a broken tooth. They won’t do anything to bless the face is swollen then they’ll only issue antibiotics. Agony I tells yer.

grendel Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 you wont like one of my purchases then, some micro scissors for fine cutting dental scissors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 so with the lettering on hold awaiting some purchases (strength 6 double sided tape, scissors and some slightly thicker foil) it was on to the next item, a pulley, the mud weight pulley forward, so pulley turned from some scrap brass, it was on to the bracket, this is currently being fashioned from 0.2mm stainless this is about as thick as i can bend into a 3mm wide channel neatly to hold the pulley, next job to shape it into a bracket to hold the pulley, how to hold such a small part to shape it is the issue. Pencil next to the pulley for scale, it will need a 2.5mm bolt as a pivot, if i cant manage in stainless i might have to do it from brass, as i can carve the whole thing out of a bigger lump of brass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 So i went with the brass in the end, i dont have a milling machine, but i have a 3mm milling cutter, so the milling cutter went in the lathe chuck and i mounted the workpiece in the tool holder, adjusting the height to suit. then i used the normal lathe controls to advance the work into the cutter, cutting a deep slot through the workpiece, then where the pulley would be i made the slot extend right through, then it was time to file the pulley holder into shape, add the pulley with a 2.5mm bolt and the part was done, it just requires some mounting holes to fit to the bow of he boat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi wombat, go back to your dentist and ask him how long you can take ibuprofen before it effects your kidneys. ???? It's not a pain killer you can continue to take without some form of negative response. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat nee blownup Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I’ve already had a negative response chum. It was the f*^#^*~g dentist. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Time to look for another dentist. Sorry Peter I should have pm Wombat about this. Like the stem head roller, looks brilliant but what about a nice brass bolt rather than the s/s one or am I jumping the gun. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 now why did i not think of that i have a large case of brass BA sized bolts and nuts (see what i did there BA bolts for BA model) there we go i have swapped out for a 6BA brass bolt, there happy now, i only seem to have large brass nuts in 6BA, but i tapped the bracket holes to 6BA too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upcycler Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have to say model BA is looking great and you are doing a marvellous job, but are we looking for completion by the centenary page of this subject. It would be a fitting end to this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well the slightly thicker stainless sheet arrived (from China) but i am still awaiting the double sided tape posted second class from London, i have been furtling on the model, finessing the fit of one of the windows and i judged the paint on the roof dry enough to scrape the battens, that worked nicely and i have the rear roof done now 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boat certainly can have a "coach roof", so presumably that is over the coach house? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have just looked it up, for what it's worth. I had a feeling it had something to do with yachts. A coach roof is over a part of the cabin that is above deck level. A coach house roof is usually the structure over a companionway, which protects it from the weather. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well that qualifies as both Fwd n Aft ‘Roofs’ are over companion ways Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
