<\/a>First steps are layout the pin guides on a sheet of .040″ aluminum.\u00a0 The designated 6.8degree angle supposedly compensates for the angled door frames. A protractor is used to get the angle close (only has degree increments).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I want to add them as a framework for some resin around the pin blocks.\u00a0 The idea here is fully enclose the pin blocks in order to provide a smooth, sealed surface for the McMaster seals.\u00a0 …<\/span> Continue Reading →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rv-10-build-project","category-section-45-cabin-doors-and-transparencies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2380"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380\/revisions\/2384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>Stiff construction paper prototypes were cut prior to making any metal parts.\u00a0 I wanted to check the effect of the angles on the corners.\u00a0 Close enough for some hand shaping to be effective.<\/p>\n<\/a>The roughed out pin guides are then inserted in Tal’s sheet metal bender and formed per plan instructions.<\/p>\n<\/a>Here are the pin guides prior to fitting on the doors.
