| Don C | 16-Feb-15 14:59 | | Finally found some good reference photos and this is my streamlined version of a pretty complicated gear system. If you don't know aboutit, look at www.cybermodeler.com. |
| JohnG. | 16-Feb-15 15:06 | | Very intricate work. How did you achieve the curves w/o major kinking?? |
| Don C | 16-Feb-15 15:14 | | Propane torch to heat, bend with a rod (small Phillips screw driver) in the end, quit when it starts to kink, GENTLY tap kink out on "anvil" while still hot, repeat, repeat, etc. I started at the end of a 12" tube. One thing I learned - don't pick it up too soon with your fingers. It's really hot! |
| Don C | 16-Feb-15 15:19 | | The "Y- bones" are fitted and will be added later with a couple of other pieces. |
| JohnG. | 16-Feb-15 17:35 | | O.K. Thanks. P.S. Don't touch if hot... :-) |
