Well thats all the side trims and dead eye strops attached, time for the entry ports,


View attachment 485156
The entry ports have some very fine wrought iron type decorations, I did try and make them out of both fine copper and brass wire but to no avail, everything kept melting, so i turned to my normal source of things and I found a nice flower holder in one of the charity shops, maybe I should call her The Salvation,

this is the holder, cost was three dollars, it a type of pressed metal, I tried to solder it but it wouldn't take so i Super glued it together,

I cut a section from the holder, and then smaller pieces from that,

this is what I ended up with and next to it is the platform grating that it will sit on,

thank you for looking in,

best regards John.

Love this innovation. We can't always have the perfect part but we can certainly recycle other items for the job. Well done.
