Frontdeck railing

On the frontdeck I had to make a railing and today I started with this thankfull job. Readymade-raillings are for sale but I dont like them because they never fit the way you want and I think they are ugly. Make them myself it is then. First I make a design and then I mark the position of the stansions so I know how much I have to make.

28 It has to be.


Brass strip 2x1 mm.


This how they have to be when they are ready. If my Autocad-teacher would see this drawing he would not stop crying.


Cut the stansions


And then the drilling. Drill-thing a mould and enough drill-bits (I tought)




Ohh no there goes a drillbitt.... again... They are supersharp and I like the universal diameter of 3.2mm but when you look at them, they break. Or I am just a clumsy man? It was my last 0.55mm bit so I had to use a conventional drill.


Ready


Marking where the stansions end and where the pin starts


In the lathe. It's not really the right way to use this machine but hey! Who knows?!







Movie-clip

Tadaahh. If it does not work like it has to be, then it has to be like it works (I have no idea if this makes any sence but I tried to translate a Dutch saying)


Drilling holes in the deck. With a handdrill. Very handy tool!


Parts


First I start with the midlle stansion


And before you know it half of it is ready






Yes, this is how it has to be




And the old and trusted guilder/florin to show the proportions


Kind regards, Kees de Mol
