Fairey huntsman windscreen frame

Its looking good and very fiddly work. I am working on the canopy on my Venice water taxi and I recently machined 4 .036 thousands dia pins to pivot the canopy frame which is 2 mm dia brass rod. Needed to use a very sharp HSS tool to machine them. Photos to follow at some stage. Thinking outside the square as to what material to use is also a challenge. I needed 2 stainless air scoops for the vents on my engine cover so I bought 2 SS teaspoons and cut about 12 mm off the spoon end. Perfect is what I would say. Cheers Ian

Looks really good, I have two wind screens to do, one huntsman and one Huntress, not sure I can make one as good as that.

Jumpugly sharp is the word till I sanded it all down last night and now nice and dull to the touch just a bit of fettling to do then what to stick the plastic screen onto the metal with was going to use double sided clear tape instead of glue
