alf aphid Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Very nice Liam! What thickness of brass do you use generally, and how do you cut the intricate bits? Must be a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam7810 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 A I used 0.25 mm brass for this build,sheet thickness vary with every build depending on how much weight u want t and if u want to bend it into shape, this sheet is quite heavy enough but still easy to bend! I use a shears tat I got in lidl for cutting the brass, lovely tool and gives me no sharp edges either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam7810 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I solder all my joints as it's much stronger, soldering smaller pieces can be tough at times so plastic is sometimes a better alternative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
