That really is a beautiful piece of work and fabulous to see the motion in action

Hi again. I followed your advice on how to drill the holes for the pins holding the tubes on the boiler. It worked perfectly, thanks!

I have another question: how did you make the holes for the railing that runs along the boiler (see my photo, attached). Did you use the same pins as you did for the other tubes? I only have 1 mm metal drill bits, which, I think would make the holes too large for the pins. Any advice?
Thanks!! Carl

Yes, same pins. 1mm is fine. Recommended is 0,75mm, but I don't have such drills.
Just put all pins and the railing into place then add cyanoacrylate glue around, preferably using a toothpick for precision.
Then wait a minute or so, patience is key.

Hi Carl & to the forum.

If you're going to post photos please be aware that you will need to host them on an external site such as Flickr and then link to them from the forum. Unfortunately the forum currently doesn't have sufficient capacity or bandwidth to host directly uploaded photos.

There is a quick guide on how to use the Flickr integration on the forum ---> here

If you have any questions then just ask

Looking forward to seeing your work
