Nice!
CNC makes it (look) easy!

Today only a small update.

Thus, the last parts for the old transport trolley were milled and the first frame soldered.

That is just beautiful. -- Russ

[Bill Gill]

I agree with Russ: Beautiful!

[Ray Dunakin]

Yep, definitely beautiful!

[fspg2]

Russ, Bill, Ray: Thanks for your commendation.

Currently there are only small steps that I can tell about.


The front axle has been soldered together. Small rectangular Pertinax blocks helped for this.
Both laterals received two 0.8 mm holes and were pinned with small rivets.
(A 0.8mm wire was no longer in my junk box, so the rivets.)

The rivet heads I grinded on a sandpaper file.

The remaining wheel halves were soldered together.
To smooth the outer surfaces of the tires, I've screwed it into a gauge ....

Alter_Transportwagen_21 (fspg2)



... and the lathe did the rest.

Now a first rehearsal on four wheels.

[Ray Dunakin]

Wow!

[finescalerr]

Now I know your secret for doing such perfect work: You talk the lathe into doing everything for you but you take all the credit! -- ssuR

@Russ  Please don´t tell anyone 


I must confess, on the website of Paul I discoverd a  smaler transport trolley. I liked it so much that I had to build it in scale 1:22.5.

First it was drawn a little bit:

The workshop wagons will be build as welded version. Made of 2.0mm and 1.5mm brass sheets, the side bolsters and the axle bearings were milled.

Synthetic resin bonded paper gauges facilitate the installation of the crossbars.

The foreman must always complain about - of course he immediately noticed that the wheel is slightly oversized.

Either you never sleep or you have learned how to create beautiful parts very efficiently. It would take me a month to make just one part ... and it would look a lot worse than yours. -- Russ

[Bill Gill]

Another terrific start! Maybe a little filing can resize the wheel

[Ray Dunakin]

You're a wizard of miniature fabrication!

[fspg2]

Russ, Bill, Ray - Thanks!  


See how the Pertinax gauges looks after four trolleys were soldered.

On the next image you can see in front left one unit before sandblasting, the other three frames are blasted.

At the old trolley the shaft is still missing.


Deichsel_01 (fspg2)



For the cross-connection I have milled a little gauge with an 1.5mm ball cutter.


Deichsel_quer_bohren_01 (fspg2)



Deichsel_quer_bohren_02 (fspg2)



In the vice both oblique holes were placed vertically by the help of a second gauge.


Deichsel_quer_bohren_03 (fspg2)



In order that the rod doesn´t rotate during drilling the second hole, the rod was fixed inside with adhesive tape and additionally secured with an 1.5 mm round bar.


Deichsel_quer_bohren_04 (fspg2)



The two long shaft halves were "sharpened" in a hard paper gauge.

It's pleasing and inspiring to see the consistently high quality of your work.
