More happening on the Princess Marina. A big laser cutring order has been sent off for quote and work is progressing with some castings. Wheels cleaned up with the dremel and a sand blast, and the hornblocks are on the milling machine.
The hornblocks were linished on the inside face and the top of the was flange skimmed in the mill to give some reference faces. A piece of ply was used on the rough side of the hornblock to push the reference face up against the fixed jaw in the vise. The rough side is not exactly parallel with the reference face, I used a piece of round bar to begin with, but then found the ply to be much more forgiving without any chatter.
Happy steaming!
