unboxed parts that were made before the mill or bigger lathe arrived,, just do with the little unimat SL1000,, did some test fitting and mounting,, plus milled up a few more parts,, did some mocking-up to make sure there will be spaces for the fuel tank or tanks,,

1/6th scale 1890's 30ft navy steam cutter (live steam)
- Thread starter tghsmith
- Start date
some kind of not perfect cutting methods this morning, but I got away with it ,, working on the boiler base unit, its will be three brass rings, with a formed (rolled) sheet brass section to get the height,, modded a drill press circle cutting tool to do the cores, once the cutter was ground a bit it worked fine,, cut the disc from each side,, lots of clamps and safety gear,, used a big bandsaw to knock of the corners,, all are just a hair big for the lathe so the rotary table will get set up on my mill,, lots of cranking that little handle..

pesky complex small but had to make parts "boiler feet" milled the foot section, formed parts were silver soldered in place, back on the mill with a spacer to cut the steps, then cut the milled apart for the feet.. they will get soldered and riveted onto the base once it is all soldered..
