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.

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!

[tuna1957]

Excellent! Very sharp model. You've really been honing your skills.

[tuna1957]

Thanks Dave. Hardest part has been getting the measurements off the original !

[Dave R]

I magine that is a challenge. Especially with castings.

[tuna1957]

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 .

[Dave R]

So I must have missed some detail?

Nice threads, by the way.

No you missed nothing. I’m just a little slow at times

[Dave R]

Ahh.... Well, that's not all bad.

[tuna1957]

On the downhill side of this. All parts are modeled ( I think ) . Beveling edges now... Here's an image to make your eyes cross... X RAY !
