... and notch the rail joins, then add etched fishplates. This is because I want maximum flexibility of the blades for ease of movement. I only put one solder joint in the centre for the same reason On double slips the tiebar movement is very stiff on this method. I have made these rails in 3 pieces soldering cast metal fishplates to the centre rail only, this makes for a very free movement. 982_190320_270000000.jpg Two of the crossing rails have normal and bridge chairs, these are threaded on before soldering the rail in place 982_190324_300000000.jpg All 4 crossing rails in place. Just the check rails and other slip rail to make and fit Attachment: attach_1996_2577_points81.jpeg 686 Last edited on 19 Nov 2014 11:31 by Hayfield posted: 19 Nov 2014 08:42 from: Hayfield undefined undefined Sorry Can't up load at all now Last edited on 19 Nov 2014 08:45 by Hayfield posted: 19 Nov 2014 11:18 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: undefined undefined Sorry Can't up load at all now Hi John, There are 6 photos from you today ...
