Physical modelling
Creating the final physical models
A series of photos from the physically modelling
A few precut pieces for the model
Marking out the shapes on the steel
Angle grinding the metal
Filling off
Cutting the holes for the bolt
Holes cut for the bolt and the flitch plate etc
The plates assembled and ready for welding
Flitch plate post welding
All finally welded
I cut some plywood to size and routed a slot inside then glued each piece together. Holes were drilled in it and it was connected to the base to give the final product
The final thing. Needed sanding though.
I cut out the pieces for the 2nd model and used a router to cut them all out evenly
