Last post by Hauk - November 23, 2023, 01:26:36 PMAs I might have said before: A work of great beauty.
A big inspiration for getting serious with my own machining. A couple of practical questions: what type of brass do you use, and where do you buy your sheets of material? I am also very curious about your spindle and feed speeds.

Last post by Lawrence@NZFinescale - November 23, 2023, 11:24:08 AMJust to show I'm not fundamentally opposed to small buildings...
The Waimangaoa post office cries out to be modelled.
Sorry for the poor picture quality and lack of details. As the sign says ER it must be after 1953. Probably not too long after that as small rural post offices were in decline.

Last post by Bernhard - November 23, 2023, 09:07:13 AMI also need two supports for the platform on the left side of the tower.
And this is the current status.
Now only about 200 more parts are missing for this foot, all of which still have to be made. So, here we go.

Last post by Bernhard - November 23, 2023, 09:04:56 AMNow two side plates have to be built. This requires a few angles ...
... and CNC-milled sheet metal.
The finished side plates are attached to the tower with pin rivets.

Last post by Bernhard - November 23, 2023, 09:02:53 AMOnce the front and rear panels have been prepared, they are glued to the frame of the front tower.
Fix well and then wait for a day.
You can already see the result.
