lot easier to flatten the bottom of this one than those in my shop!
A big amen to that !
-
Excellent model!
-
Sometimes, what seem like simple objects can bring brainteasers we do not expect, you have done a great job on this, it looks great. Context render?
-
Well got the body casting finished….. I think. Ohh…. did I mention the plane has a corrugated sole ?
-
Thanks Bryan, Thanks Mike. Everyone should hold off on the “great” comments until I get this thing finished ! Might get frustrated and throw it in the trash
. Just doing it for a little change of pace. It will patiently wait in the parts bin. Might get used at some point or it might just take up a little drive space collecting dust.

Handle and knob in place...... now for the the frog ..... yippee !!!!!
-
-
Excellent.
-
Nice
-
Thanks gentlemen
-
The frog is done ! Hooray ! Down to the small bits and threading the machine screws
-
Oops….. forgot the knurling on the adjustment knob….. me bad….. here it is !
-
Got the hold-down screw for the lever cap done. In the process noticed I forgot a couple of casting recesses in the bottom side of the frog ! I suspect there is going to be a lot of going back for things I missed.
-
OK. Someone had to say it. Can we see the hidden geometry? Hungry for more!
-
pbacot , you asked for it...... might wear you out with this mess !
-
Excellent! Very sharp model. You've really been honing your skills.
-
Thanks Dave. Hardest part has been getting the measurements off the original !
-
I magine that is a challenge. Especially with castings.
-
Dave , should have also mentioned I had to watch your “screw thread “ tutorial about eight times before I could make a reasonable looking machine screw
. -
So I must have missed some detail?
Nice threads, by the way.
