Well, I got some of the sections cut on my case yesterday... no pictures yet... not until everything is test fit.
I got another propane tank today and finished using my "Blow Lamp" to add a bit more solder to the front block.
Once I was done, I rough cut the back block's 1/16" plate to shape with a hack saw. Then I put it on the rotary table and begain trimming the 1/16" plate all around the outside edge. I also cleaned up the curves and rounded off the mounting ear.
Here is the back block with the front one... the front has only been rough cut with a hack saw.
Here I've put the blocks together on the card for test fitting to make sure nothing warped. It appears to have come out quite straight as I didn't have any problem tightening the cap screws at all.
Here's an edge on view to show how far the blocks stick out...
Here is one last 3/4" view...
I hope to finish up the front block and drill the inlet and outlet holes and solder in the 1/2" tubes. I also need to machine in the O-Ring groove for the cross over passage.
Lastly, maybe Saturday, I'll begin polishing the assembly.
Peace!
