Niiiiiiice, and like your pics. My Black Widow kit turned up on Saturday. > The hardest part of the build was finishing the brass components. Yeeeeah, I started following Jerry's instructions, with the sandpaper on a flat surface, spent hours and hours sanding it and barely making a dent in the very visible machining marks. Then I attacked it with the buzzy electric sander, and within a minute or two had the whole lot clean and flat. It now has a matt finish, with millions of tiny spirals and swirls on it. I can't decide whether to leave it as it is, or go onto the much finer polishing next. Looks like you went for the mirror effect - was it worth the effort? -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
