n czernysz: Coming along.
n czernysz: Starting the dropout stay fitting process. Notice my cool hose clamp jig? This is a slow and tentative fit mostly because the final look is still being determined. Changed angle on the tips, still need another 10mm insertion for the rake dimension.

n czernysz: Starting the dropout stay fitting process. Angle on the tip, WRONG. This is a slow and tentative fit mostly because the final look is still being determined. Got 10mm to go for desired offset, so lots of material to screw around with.
n czernysz: O.k. Water wash. This is the one I did first, second just went for a bath.

n czernysz: Second one. These little clamps are taking a beating. I think I'm gonna have to use something else. I don't want to use an axle or a bolt and washers because I want to see the penetration in the slot. Any suggestions? Thanks.

n czernysz: It's just for alignment the faces for clamping and brazing. It's hard enough when the parts aren't covered in flux, and I couldn't do the same trick with the Anvil dummy axles because the two 100mm I have use different bolts.

n czernysz: Screwing around with different super abrasives, trying to get a decent polish. The idea is the bevel is polished and the flat is a inline scratch finish.

n czernysz: Holding these dropout faces by hand to bevel the edges was painful and I couldn't take it anymore, so I made these holders, now it's easy.

n czernysz: This height/angle/rotatable adjustable platen I made for the belt grinder is the bee's knees, which I don't actually know what that means but I heard it as a replacement for great!!!
