Side plate today

[boogaloo]

Designed and rough cut out my side plate today with a jig saw. Then got closer to the shape using a rotary file in my drill press. Not "period correct" way of building but my old arthritic hands will appreciate the reduction in file work to take it to final dimensions...................Daniel146_3717.jpg146_3721.jpg146_3722.jpg146_3723.jpg

For someone who says they have arthritic fingers you sure are producing great results. That's some pretty finicky stuff your doing. Good for you, nice to see a true craftsman plying his trade.

Nice work !!

Thanks for the compliment Mike, although I am just a rookie at this. My trade as an Industrial Millwright helps..................Daniel
