Recommended Posts

Firstly, thanks for all the comments on the previous post.

 

Not being totally happy with the brass rings as viewed from the front be recessed and noting photographic evidence of a ring on the front of the spectacle plate, I decided to added rings made from 0.5mm brass wire. This was made by bending the wire around the cone of a centre punch and then soldered in place. As before this was filed back front and inside the ring to form a square section. This has improved the outside appearance but has done nothing to advance the matter of glazing.... especially as time will need to wait until the thing is painted!
