Yesterday I had the call to assist moving a lathe so not much happened on the work front!
The firedoor mods were finished today and they work well and open evenly. Some shouldered pins were made from stainless and hammered over on the back side.
Made some studs and fitted nuts to the regulator flange. They are 8BA brass nuts...they look a bit big but the next size nut down would have to be custom made...if anyone reading has a reputable source of finescale (1 size smaller) BA nuts that would be GREAT! Years ago I bought some really nice 8BA steel nuts with 1/8" across flats...can't seem to locate where I bought them from and the guys I've tried use larger bar (I'm told the nuts have a possibility of collapsing or screwing up on the lathe with the tapping size close to the AF size).
We had an order for some more MDF signage which was also completed today for a local 10 class enthusiast...SMR Pty Ltd #22.
Happy steaming!
Nigel
