Man the weather was so hot today, but I am grateful for air conditioning!
Finished off making the tea can tray today with a kettle to go on the top. The kettle was made from brass bits and to be secured to the tray with an 8BA screw. All the soldering was done with silver solder ground down on the linisher to give some sort of control to how much was going on. The kettle spout still ended up being filled with solder! I think the shape of it caused a capillary flow! It was made from some squeezed square brass cut on an angle...looked very nice while it had the hole in it!
Looks like the firedoor handle will have to be put on the LHS as per prototype. It's too close to the regulator and I think some quick action on the door will cause a fuss with the regulator handle!
Happy steaming!
