Fellow Shadow Watchers,
Following the recent postings on making metal sundials I
have a 430mm high bronze declining plate for a BSS client in 5mm thick PB102
phospor bronze almost finshed. The roman numerals are partly completed and I
took a low-resolution jpeg of the job half done on the milling machine with the
marking-out templet I use in place. The templets I make from thin sheet brass
to simplify layout.
If anyone would like a jpeg (OK on screen but it may not print very well due to
low res'/small file size) please email me.
Tony Moss
P.S. The bronze plate shows up as dark blue in the picture because it is
covered in Spectra layout fluid which shows clear bright lines with the finest
scriber mark. Without layout fluid the bright scribed lines quickly oxidise
and become very hard to see.
