Tiziano, I am absolutely thrilled with your work!

Thanks, Shota 70, thanks to te likes

Your frame-and-panel doors are fantastic! Well done! To add to your vocabulary, the horizontal pieces are called "rails" and the vertical ones are called "stiles".

Hi Russ, and thanks......I know the terms very well, even if I didn't write them in English

The work on the bridge is temporary, without glue

Hello, my friend. I very much enjoy following your excellent work. If I could... a question... how did you make the tunnel in the hinge for the pin? Did you just bend the strapping or did you solder a tube to the end of the strap? My thanks!

 

[matiz]

Ciao Paul e grazie, ho saldato un tubo da 1 mm con un foro da 0,5 mm

 

[dockattner]

Hi Paul and thanks, I soldered a 1mm tube with a 0.5mm hole

Thank you for answering. That is what I was planning to do on my build as well but it looked so clean that I was having doubts as to how you did it. Respect.

how did you make the tunnel in the hinge for the pin?

The way Tiziano did it is so much easier to get to scale and look like the real thing. Even if you can bend the metal it can be weak at the sharpest part of the bends and have a tendency to break. Another alternative is make one out of wood, then use it to make a high temp silicone mold and cast them in pewter or similar metal. If this was a rudder hinge for example, make the master and cast to the longest one needed then trim the length of the arms to suit once removed from the mold. If it was one or two I would solder them. For many pieces you may find it worth making the mold. Not quite the four primary methods to skin the proverbial cat, at least there are two to skin this particular cat.

Thanks, Allan. I didn't see any solder or residue so I wondered if that was the way he made these hinges. A joy to see this masterful build. I need to make 12 hinge pairs for my Saint Philippe and they are a bit ornate so I am exploring options. I just soldered hinges on my Kingfisher but I lost a bit of fidelity to scale - I'll want to improve on that effort this time around.

I know may folks hate to use resin or plastic, but I have tried port lid hinges printed from a 3D drawing. The drawings were left and right hinges and they came out really well. Not sure if they would be strong enough for rudder hinges though.
