Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Thanks, I've said before I do some of my best work after getting backed in a corner..
Now to address the mounting pads for the window molding....
Here's the new "anvil", made from some phenolic sheet.....
Put an alignment mark on the anvil, fitted it to the originals, and added the mark there as well. Then transposed those marks to the new piece...
Anvil was located, and clamped in the vise to hold it's location
Started with the barrel end hammer.....
For the ends, I used a rounded tip chisel....
....and then another "anvil" to clean up the hammer marks a bit...
Here's all the tools used....
Touched up a bit with a sanding disc, looks close enough.... One down, 4 to go...
