half an hour later

(NB: the unit behind my rolling die is off a Taipan and is what I'm duplicating, only slightly smaller )



all the bits are now rolled and ready for assembly which I'll do if I find a spare minute or 10 over the next few days.
Haven't decided on whether I'll tig weld them together or just use pop-rivets and small bolts as yet, but the plan does call for some stainless steel plates to be pop-riveted on, these plates will strengthen up the areas around the hinge pins etc and reduce wear down to a minimal amount...


merry xmas to all
